SCENE 01 / CAMERA SUPPORT SYSTEMS
Camera Support Systems
Professional camera support equipment for your Spanish production.
Here is how this works in practice. Camera support systems have tripods, fluid heads, sliders, jibs, dollies, and stabilization rigs that enable smooth, controlled camera movement. The right support gear is key for achieving the visual language a director and cinematographer envision for each scene.
Here is the short of it. We source camera support systems ranging from lightweight travel kits to heavy-duty studio dollies and crane systems. Our team sets up with local grip and camera rental houses to make sure compatible, well-kept support gear arrives on set tested and ready for your specific camera package.

On Location
Camera support inventory — Chapman dollies, Movietech cranes, Tiffen Steadicam, DJI Ronin 4D, and Easyrig — through Camara Movil Madrid, Vantage Spain, Welab Plus, and VSV
Here is how this works in practice. Camera support systems in Spain run through Camara Movil Madrid, Vantage Spain, Welab Plus Barcelona, and Servicios Audiovisuales VSV. The same houses that ship the camera bodies. Which keeps dolly base plates, riser combinations. And head mount adaptors compatible day one. Dolly inventory covers Chapman Hybrid IV as the prestige-feature default with Lenny 2 and Hustler 4 for tighter sets and broadcast. Plus Movietech and Fisher 11 cross-rentals when Mediapro and Filmax need them on the Madrid and Barcelona stages. Cranes have Movietech 30-foot, Foxxx 6-meter.
Here is the short of it. And Stanton Jib 24-foot for the longer reach work seen on Game of Thrones Andalucía dragon-perspective shots and Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny Cádiz exteriors. Stabilization splits between classic Tiffen Steadicam M2 and Volt, Trinity for low-mode operator work, and the gimbal roster — Freefly Movi Pro. DJI Ronin 4D as the lightweight one-operator solution. And Ronin 2 for heavier cinema builds with wireless Preston FIZ. Easyrig Vario 5 with Flowcine Serene is the standard handheld-comfort rig for the Pyrenees high-altitude work. The Picos de Europa long-walk-in days where setup truck access is hours away.
Here is the breakdown. Fluid heads cover the cinema range — O'Connor 2575D and 120EX for heavy Alexa 35 builds with anamorphic glass. Sachtler Video 25 and Cine 30 for documentary and broadcast. And Cartoni Maxima for tighter weight budgets. Remote-head packages run Scorpio and Ronford Stab-C through Camara Movil and Welab Plus for crane and car work. Russian Arm support — the high-end car-to-car telescopic crane sites — routes through Camara Movil Madrid's specialty division. The Pursuit Systems Madrid affiliate. With cross-border Portugal and France options when the Spanish unit is on another show.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Track inventory covers Microdolly, Matthews skater dolly. And Dana Dolly for slider work plus straight and curved Chapman rail sets in 4-foot, 8-foot, and 12-foot lengths. Summer 40°C-plus Andalucía and Almería heat protocols have shaded dolly tents, hydraulic-fluid temperature checks before each take. And Peli-case storage for gimbal batteries between setups.
