RCS LIFTCAM BIG: OUR RAILCAMERA WITH LIFT

The RCS LiftCam big is the big brother of the LiftCam small. The lifting column is larger, so it offers a longer upward travel range. The larger width offers greater stability and specializes in smooth, flowing camera movements. Thus, this design is predestined for use in a studio environment. The rails can be well integrated into a studio setting and adapted to the premises. The size of the hub also provides the often-missed wow effect in rail camera images. Set the scene for your studio or event with our automated HubCam big fresh.

Railcam

Technical finesse and practical advantages

The LiftCam is the latest addition to the family of our special camera systems. It is a further development of the Railcam. Since our vision of the rail camera has always had an additional perspective, our engineering team has put a lot of work and sweat into the development. Now we are proud to offer a technically advanced, stable LiftCam. The LiftCam is battery-powered, can be operated remotely, and runs on a reliable HD link that can also be replaced with a wired connection. This cable connection can also provide the power supply. The rails are extremely flexible due to their innovative plug-in system and can even handle curves. The LiftCam can also be suspended and slowly sink to the ground.

Custom-made lifting column

It was important for our engineering team to be able to adapt the camera to the specific needs of our customers. Should the camera be placed in a stage trench, next to a catwalk, hanging from the ceiling in a studio. In a short time, our engineers can perfectly adjust the lift height to your needs, offering the images you want for your event or TV production. In addition, the rails can also be adjusted, smaller curves can be installed, and thus the roadway and the surrounding conditions can also be brought into line. Rail components in various lengths are available for the design.

Proven control with great flexibility

Control of the LiftCam and transmission of video and telemetry data can be done either by cable or, even more conveniently, by radio signal. The dolly can be individually programmed to automatically travel certain routes – including set stopping points. Our experienced employees take over both the construction of the rail track and the control of the LiftCam. The recordings of the lift camera can be ideally integrated into live broadcasts or studio recordings and enrich the visual language immensely.
