Only Drones? BuggyCam Vs Pedal Progression Vs Peregrine

12/16/2014 Matt 0 Comments

Rob Drewett and Andy Nancollis took BuggyCam out for literary 2 hours to film some shots of Sam from pedalprogression.com and here is what we came up with.

BuggyCam is an almost limitless mobile camera platform. Available now on a wet hire basis, the all terrain, highly tunable remotely controlled chassis can take the highest quality camera equipment and put it in to otherwise inaccessible places, whilst adding a layer of motion not seen or used before to this degree.

BuggyCam Vs Peregrine

The buggy itself has been developed by Motion Impossible. A 2 man team consisting of Rob Drewett (an experienced BBC wildlife cameraman) and Andy Nancollis (Buggy racer and design engineer).

It’s based on a race proven 1/5th scale 4wd remote controlled vehicle chassis, and further developed to integrate our unique V-CON camera mount system. Together with our Freefly Movi M15 it can carry and stabilise a payload of up to 10kg allowing for some of the best video cameras and lenses to be mounted and controlled on it.
