A cablecam is a camera suspended from a tensioned line that travels across the venue on a fixed, repeatable path. It doesn't fly: it travels. That's why it can pass over the audience, work under a roof and deliver the same move take after take.
High-tenacity polyester rope, not steel cable. And always two lines.
Running line and safety line, always both. A self-powered dolly that needs no power supply at the anchors and repeats the same path take after take.
The system is documented in our own certificate, issued by ASNUTEC S.L.U. as manufacturer and signed by our technical manager. We hand it to the technical management of any venue that asks for it, always, before rigging.

They don't compete: they complement each other. This is what each does best.
It passes over people without the flight restrictions of an aircraft, works indoors, isn't affected by wind and repeats the same path as many times as needed. It's the tool for live shows: predictable, easy to integrate into the production and silent where it matters.
Read more about Over the audience and under a roofIt gives the overall view of the venue, a height no line can reach and freedom of movement outdoors. It needs permits, a licensed pilot and suitable wind conditions, but it delivers shots a cablecam can't.
Read more about Scale, height and contextAt most of our festivals we rig both: the drone opens and closes, the cablecam lives inside the show. Because they're in the same production, they share tally and intercom and never get in each other's way.

No. The Linecam® system runs on high-tenacity polyester rope: 10 mm for the running line and 8 mm for the safety line. It's lighter to transport and rig, doesn't damage the venue structure and its breaking load —2,100 kg for the 10 mm rope— is far above the 250 kg working tension.
250 metres between anchors with the secured system. On long spans we raise the working tension to 350 kg. Beyond that distance we work with a specific installation and prior calculations.
From 10 cm/s for an almost imperceptible move up to 40 km/h for a fast pass over the crowd. Acceleration is controlled from the operator position; it isn't a fixed speed.
Up to 30°, which allows descending rigs from the stands to the stage or from a PA tower to the floor.
No. The dolly is self-powered with two onboard DJI TB50 batteries. This greatly simplifies rigging at open-air venues and in high stands.
Up to 4 kg of payload, covering everything from a Sony FX3 with lens, focus motors and transmission to lightweight broadcast configurations. The dolly weighs 9.5 kg ready to run and takes a maximum of 19 kg on the line.
Yes. Before rigging we give the technical management a report with the proposed anchor points, span, loads, slinging method and the line's path. The system also has its own certification issued by ASNUTEC S.L.U. as manufacturer.
Yes, and that's one of its most common uses. Sports halls, theatres, covered squares and arenas: where a drone can't fly, the cablecam can work.
