We took a look at Varavon’s wirecam system at IBC in Amsterdam earlier this year. The fully featured cable cam system will finally be released around the 19th of this month. It combines the remote controlled Wirecam sled with the company’s Birdycam brushless gimbal to create fully stabilised aerial moves – gimbals from other companies can also be used. The Birdycam also serves as a remote head which can pan and tilt as the camera travels down the wire.
To show off what the system can do Varavon have released a short video. Interestingly it also shows the DJI Ronin being used instead of the Birdycam in some shots.

The MSRP is expected to be $8900USD. For more info and to order keep an eye on the Varavon website later this month.
