Polecam 7th Heaven reaches all the way to Sweden

Tommie Rekstad of Pink Elephant in Gothenburg, Sweden has just taken delivery of his 7th heaven poles allowing him to reach 8m.

"This is without doubt the most significant step forward Polecam have made. 5 sections was always a bit difficult to fly for the untrained hand. Now, it's a no brainer and with the 7 sections (which are more stable than the old 5) it really does make Polecam unique.

In conjunction with the new Dumbell Mount, travelling abroad with a Polecam is so much easier and cheaper. We just buy the weights when we arrive on location from the local sports store. I've even borrowed them from the local jib operator. He needed 8 (25kg) of them and I only needed 1. It is also much greener to fly with less weight."

Polecam takes the 3D high ground at IBC2009

"IBC2009 was a significant step forward for 3D television broadcasting," comments an ebullient Steffan Hewitt, founder and managing director of Polecam. "The show itself was well attended and our stand was busy, often crowded, from start to finish. Interest in the Polecam 3D Head was immense, our demonstrations being widely credited as the most natural stereoscopic pictures at the show."

Polecam in action at 2009 Audi FIS championship

The Audi FIS championship visited Moscow on November, 2009 and Polecam was in action again.

The HD Polecam with a Toshiba IKHD1 and Polecam MkIII RCP and extra Toshiba IKHD1 for Beauty Shots was provided by TPC Rental house at the start hut and gave the usual stunning shots that the Polecam has been used to giving on the Skiing and Ski Jumping tour.

Maxim Fartukov of Media Trust (Polecam distributor for Russia) commented,

'The Polecam has been very successful here in Russia, we have 34 Polecams in Russia to date, with 14 in one rental house alone and this is just the start. As the camera quality improves and our sales efforts increase Polecam is fast becoming an industry standard here in Russia.'

Amos Clarke's day with the LADDs

Amos Clarke (www.tiki.tv) was invited by the Los Angeles Derby Dolls (the real life girls who are an inspiration to the new Drew Barrymore movie "Whip It") to use Polecam to capture the Bumps, Grinds and Speed of the Roller Derby action in a way that no other camera system can keep up or get within the thick of the action without compromising the players.

Inition co-produce Keane's Historic Live 3D Musical Performance with kit including an HD Polecam with 3D Head

Inition triumphed recently with a ground-breaking production of the UK's first successful broadcast of a live event in 3D TV to a domestic 3D TV set, via Sky's satellite network and existing Sky+HD set-top boxes. The broadcast was part of a 3D music event co-produced by Inition, Sky, production company Nineteen Fifteen Productions and Island Records to coincide with KeaneÂ’s live performance that saw a 3D webcast of the gig via KeaneÂ’s website. Inition pitched the idea to the band back in December when they were using our 3D equipment to film the promo for Spiralling. Keane, a band that have a reputation for embracing the power of new technology and connecting online with their fans were quick to take up the idea.
