Arm Car Charlotte Motor Speedway — U-Crane / Russian Arm Camera Vehicle Services

High-Speed Cinematic Camera Car Services at Charlotte Motor Speedway

At VidMuze Cinema, we provide professional arm car services at Charlotte Motor Speedway, delivering the precision, speed, and stability needed for high-performance commercial and film productions.
Our U-Crane (formerly Russian Arm) camera vehicles capture breathtaking motion at track speeds — from dynamic car chases and racing sequences to smooth, cinematic commercial shots.

Having filmed at Charlotte Motor Speedway countless times, our crew knows the track inside and out — its turns, straightaways, and lighting conditions. Whether you’re shooting an automotive commercial, a feature film, or a high-octane brand campaign, our pursuit vehicles and motion specialists ensure every frame feels powerful, cinematic, and perfectly composed.

What Is an Arm Car / U-Crane?

An arm car, also known as a camera car, Russian Arm, or U-Crane, is a custom pursuit vehicle fitted with a gyro-stabilized robotic crane arm.
This system enables the camera to move in 3D space around a moving vehicle — swinging, panning, and orbiting while maintaining total stability even at 100+ mph.

The U-Crane, built by Filmotechnic, allows compact, low-profile setups perfect for racetrack environments like Charlotte Motor Speedway.
It enables full-speed camera motion without vibration, wind interference, or instability — ideal for commercial car work and fast-paced action sequences.

Why Productions Use Arm Cars at Charlotte Motor Speedway

  1. Capture True Speed
    Nothing replicates real-world velocity like filming at the Speedway. Our arm car systems chase vehicles around the track with precision, capturing close passes, rolling angles, and tight car-to-car compositions.

  2. 360° Cinematic Motion
    The robotic arm provides unrestricted pan, tilt, and roll — allowing dramatic arcing passes, low-angle tracking shots, and sweeping rotations that enhance the sense of speed and motion.

  3. Rock-Solid Stabilization
    Our gyro-stabilized heads eliminate vibration and road feedback, producing buttery-smooth footage even at extreme speeds or under demanding track conditions.

  4. Safety & Coordination
    Working at Charlotte Motor Speedway requires precision and safety. Our experienced operators coordinate closely with the track team, precision drivers, and production crew to ensure every move is controlled, repeatable, and within safety limits.
