ARM CARS
We have two flavors to choose from.
Saleen Mustang or Porsche Cayenne.
We feel right at home when running our arm cars on track. A lot of our work consists of filming for nationwide car commercials as well as feature films.
Productions can choose between our 650HP custom Saleen which has been modified to crew 5x total, with an impressive acceleration off the line. With our upgraded suspension, cornering and handling is quite impressive, even at 120 mph.
Or we have the Porsche Cayenne Twin Turbo. Our Porsche also seats 5x crew total.
Take your pick!
Heavy Lifter Drones
We have flown over 10,000+ missions since our drone start in 2012. With the advancing of drone tech, the cinematic shots our team creates are some of the best in the business.
We're currently flying Freefly Systems' Alta X airframes. Our drones remain efficient and dependable while working in tandem with our eco system. This keeps our team dialed and allows us to work with various camera movement tools on the same day.
We have our "Overweight Exemption" from the FAA so we can legally fly over the 55 lbs restrictions.

Cable Cam
As you should know by now, we strive to provide our clients the best. Using the strongest cable to run our cable cam provides our team, along with you as the client the assurance and peace of mind.
We use 8mm Dyneema. This is a synthetic cable that has a strength of 12,000 lbs. Our cable cam requires only 800 lbs of cable strength at max load, meaning we keep a huge safety buffer.
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.
Our cable cam is powered by a 6S 22.2 volt LiPo battery. This allows us to carry up to a 60 pound camera package at speeds up to 40 mph. The cable cam’s DC motor is equipped with a 50 amp ESC (electronic speed controller). Over time, this can create heat. With our built-in 24V cooling fan, our cable cam system stays cool and runs efficiently.
Features:
-
Speeds up to 40mph
-
Cooling Fan
-
Carry up to 60 pounds payload
-
LiPos to provide hours of run time.
MoVI Operator
ON SET
A MōVI Operator for ground operations is typically essential on set. This camera movement is more precise and intimate, while providing repeatability on shots.
FLEXIBILITY
We provide the tools needed to mount an array of different cinema cameras, along with various lens configurations. For us, it’s simple to mount small camera rigs as light as 3 lbs. and cinema cameras with heavy anamorphic lenses that total as much as 15 lbs.
ENDURANCE
The MoVI Pro can weigh well over 20 lbs once rigged with a heavy camera package. We use the Ready Rig which removes 98% of the weight from the operator’s arms, and puts the weight on their hips. This ensures longer run times, less down time for resting.
Mike has been a MoVI Operator since the beginning of Freefly's M10 gimbal release in 2013.
His passion for camera movement was the driving force behind the founding of VidMuze Cinema, LLC.
