UK - The Rigging Partnership is again expanding further into the camera flying market with the acquisition of the 'Spidercam' system which will be available from November. Specifically aimed at the large-scale arena and stadium market, the four way flying camera system provides High Definition broadcast and film quality camera feeds at speeds of up to 10m/sec. The stabilised head is supported by four winches capable of a staggering 350m of travel enabling the system to fly over areas of up to 250m².Gavin Weatherall comments, "This new expansion within the broadcast industry sees TRP's Flywire division enter one of its most exciting times. Spidercam has an extremely impressive CV to date and we are very pleased to be the UK partners and given the bookings we have so far I am sure we are going to see further growth in this area of our services."
