The Scorpio Arm: The technology behind the Jean-Claude Van Damme ‘Epic Split’ Video

From servicevision.es, the company behind this technology explains more about "The Scorpio Arm"

The Scorpio Arm is a different concept of Camara Car. With it we can do camera movements from a car controlled from inside driving at high speed and having images more stables, dynamics, and with all safety measures for the members of the team.



Outside we have an arm of 3,5 meters (It will be extensible to 6 meters soon.), one stabilized head Scorpio and the camera.



Inside we have the driver, the arm operator, the head operator, the focus puller and the DOP, all of them comfortable sit, safety, communicated between them and with the precision driver with wireless head phones, and looking the images from 5 high resolution monitors (HD and SDI).

The design of the arm allows putting the camera as high as other existing equipments, maintaining the centre of gravity closed to the car than our competitors.
