CABLE CAM Flyline

FEATURES

Our FlyLine Cable Cam system enables us to achieve cinematic, precision-controlled camera movement in environments where drones or car-mounted systems may not be practical or permitted. This versatile system is ideal for carrying our MōVI Pro gimbal through a wide range of challenging locations:

  • Forests

  • Ravines

  • Close to Water

  • Over People

  • Indoors

  • Audio-Sensitive Environments

  • Extra Close Proximity to Subjects

Motion Control

Precision and repeatability are essential in professional filmmaking, and our clients frequently rely on us for perfectly consistent camera moves. The FlyLine Cable Cam system delivers both, offering ultra-smooth control for shots that demand exact motion paths. Capable of crawling as slowly as half an inch per second or flying at speeds up to 40 mph, the system adapts seamlessly to the creative and technical needs of each production.

Our cable cam integrates advanced motion control technology, allowing us to program precise in- and out-points along the line. This not only ensures consistent, repeatable movement but also adds an extra layer of safety and protection for both the cable cam and the camera gimbal system, even in complex or high-risk environments..

STRENGTH

At VidMuze Cinema, we’re committed to delivering the highest level of safety and reliability on every production. That’s why we use only the strongest, industry-proven materials for our cable cam systems, ensuring total confidence for both our team and our clients.

Our system runs on 8mm Dyneema, a high-performance synthetic line with an impressive 12,000-pound tensile strength. Since our cable cam operates at a maximum load of just 1,500 pounds, this provides a significant safety margin, guaranteeing durability, stability, and peace of mind throughout every shoot.

Other features of Dyneema:

  • Up to 600 ft long cable runs.

  • Very high strength to weight ratio.

  • Very high abrasion resistance.

  • 0.08% stretch rate.

  • High UV resistance.

  • Floats & does not absorb water.

ENDURANCE

Our cable cam system is powered by a 6S 22.2V LiPo battery, delivering the performance and reliability needed for demanding productions. This setup allows us to carry camera packages up to 60 pounds while maintaining speeds of up to 40 mph. The system’s high-torque DC motor is managed by a 50-amp electronic speed controller (ESC) to ensure precise motion and smooth acceleration. To maintain peak efficiency during extended operation, the system is equipped with a built-in 24V cooling fan, effectively dissipating heat and ensuring consistent, reliable performance throughout the shoot.

Features:​

  • Speeds up to 40mph

  • Cooling Fan

  • Carry up to 60 pounds payload

  • LiPos to provide hours of run time.

Cable Cam Services by VidMuze Cinema

Smooth, Controlled Camera Movement for Film, TV, and Commercial Productions

At VidMuze Cinema, we specialize in delivering world-class cable cam services that bring precision, stability, and creative flexibility to your production. Our cable cam system allows for smooth, repeatable camera motion in environments where drones, cranes, or vehicles can’t safely operate — giving filmmakers the freedom to capture dynamic aerial shots indoors, over crowds, through forests, or across challenging terrain. Whether you're filming a feature film, television series, or national commercial, our camera movement specialists ensure every shot is executed with cinematic precision and safety.

The Advantages of a Cable Cam

1. Perfect for Restricted or Tight Locations
Cable cams excel where drones and camera cars can’t go — such as indoor sets, dense forests, urban streets, and over crowds or water. Because the cable system is safely suspended and locked to its path, it provides complete control even in areas where aerial flight restrictions apply.

2. Ultra-Smooth, Repeatable Motion
Our cable cam delivers buttery-smooth, stabilized shots ideal for tracking action scenes, live events, or repeat motion passes for VFX. Every movement can be programmed for precision speed and start/stop points, allowing consistent and reliable results.

3. Safe and Controlled Camera Operation
Unlike free-flying drones, cable cams provide a tethered, predictable path, ensuring maximum safety when operating around actors, vehicles, or large crowds. This makes it a preferred choice for productions that demand both cinematic motion and on-set safety.

4. High Payload Capacity and Speed
VidMuze’s cable cam system supports full-sized cinema camera packages up to 60 lbs and reaches speeds of up to 40 mph. From high-energy chase sequences to delicate dolly-style glides, we tailor each setup for your production’s unique visual goals.

5. Stable in Any Environment
Our professional-grade cable rig uses 8 mm Dyneema line rated for 12,000 lbs, offering incredible strength, minimal stretch, and resistance to weather and abrasion. Combined with advanced stabilization and motion-control technology, this ensures reliability on every setup — from mountain ridgelines to sound stages.

Where Cable Cams Shine

Cable cams are the perfect choice for:

  • Live events, concerts, and sports broadcasts

  • Narrative filmmaking and television series

  • Action sequences, vehicle chases, and stunt scenes

  • Outdoor commercial shoots across forests, rivers, and cities

  • Indoor tracking shots on sets and stages

Whether you’re shooting in Charlotte, Asheville, Atlanta, Charleston, or nationwide, VidMuze provides the expertise and equipment to deliver cinematic motion that elevates your story.
