  • 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.

Cinematic Cable Cam Systems for Charlotte Productions

At VidMuze Cinema, we provide cutting-edge cable cam services in Charlotte, NC, giving your production cinematic motion in places drones, cranes, or vehicles can’t safely operate. Our Charlotte-based outreach means we’re familiar with local landmarks, permitting, and ideal rigging setups — whether that’s in Uptown, along the banks of the Catawba, or in Charlotte’s parks and industrial districts.

Our FlyLine cable cam system allows us to mount MoVI or other stabilized gimbals on a guided, tensioned line — delivering fluid, repeatable camera moves with pin-point control.

We’ve worked across the Southeast with aerial, arm-car, and cable systems. Our cable cam capability fills the gap: when you need a camera glide over a crowd, through a forest, across a river, or inside tight indoor sets, we bring a solution that’s safe, controllable, and cinematic.

Why Cable Cam in Charlotte, NC?

  • Locations Drones Can’t Reach — Urban zones, interiors, under bridges, or over rooftops where air traffic is restricted.

  • Controlled Motion & Repeatability — Perfect for VFX, match moves, or action sequences where each pass must be identical.

  • Low-Altitude, High-Precision Shots — Glide inches above subjects or through narrow passages with total control.

  • Audio-Friendly Environments — Cable cams are quieter than drones, ideal for shoots where sound is critical.

  • Heavy Payloads — Our cable cam supports up to 60 lbs of camera gear, allowing full cinema cameras, lenses, and accessories.

Our Charlotte Cable Cam Process & Experience

  1. Pre-Production Planning
    We scout your Charlotte location, evaluate rigging points (trees, structures, cranes, scaffolds), analyze safety clearance, and design the path.

  2. Rigging & Safety Setup
    Using 8 mm Dyneema line rated to 12,000 lbs and redundant safety systems, our riggers build the cable path, anchor points, and motion control elements.

  3. Motion Control & Programming
    The FlyLine system is integrated with motion control hardware so we can program starts, stops, acceleration, and directional limits—ensuring smooth, repeatable shots.

  4. On-Set Operation & Collaboration
    We work side-by-side with your DP, grip, camera, and production teams to coordinate timing, lighting, and angles — all while maintaining safety protocols.

  5. Shot Execution & Adjustments
    Whether it’s fast-paced tracking, slow glides, or multi-pass VFX work, we deliver cinematic consistency across takes.
