Specialty Camera Rigs

Here is how this works in practice. Specialty camera rigs in Spain route primarily through Camara Movil Madrid's specialty division. The long-running Pursuit Systems Madrid affiliate that operates the Russian Arm telescopic-crane-on-pursuit-vehicle sites for car-to-car driving sequences, vehicle work. And the dynamic chase coverage seen on Fast & Furious 6 Madrid blocks, Mission Impossible Madrid sequences. And the Money Heist getaway-driving sequences. Cross-border Russian Arm supplements through Portugal and France apply when the Spanish unit is on another commitment.

Here is the short of it. The six-hour drive from Madrid to Lisbon or Paris remains a viable scheduling option for the M9 and Edge Arm telescopic sites when Camara Movil's home unit is locked. Edge Arm and Black Arm 24-foot sites cover the longer-reach work where the Russian Arm's 7-meter telescopic length isn't enough. Feature exterior chase coverage across Madrid's M-30 ring road. The AP-7 Costa del Sol motorway. And the rural A-roads through Andalucía and Castilla-La Mancha all use Edge Arm packages routinely.

Here is the breakdown. Camera car and low-loader trailer sites come through Pursuit Systems Madrid, Camera Cars Spain, and the Barcelona-based Espasa Cinema affiliate — process trailers. Insert-car sites with front-mount and side-mount camera positions. And the Shotmaker and Edge Arm camera-car hybrids cover the towed-vehicle and process-shot work where on-board cameras pick up actor performance during driving sequences. High-speed Phantom Flex 4K and Phantom Veo cameras and their associated rigging come into Spain via AEAT (Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria) ATA carnet imports. Phantom inventory rarely sits in Spanish stock.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. So these arrive from Vision Research dealers in London, Paris. Or Frankfurt with carnet records processed through MAD Barajas or BCN El Prat customs ahead of the prep day. Cable cam and wire rigs through SkyCam Spain and similar specialty operators cover stadium and large-set installations. Spider-Man Far From Home Plaza de Cibeles sequences. The Game of Thrones Andalucía Dragonpit reverses both used cable-cam coverage. Helicopter aerial mount sites via Heli-Iberica and Helicopters Spain.
