SCENE 01 / SPECIALTY RIGS
Specialty Camera Rigs
Advanced rigging solutions for your Hungarian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Specialty rigs are purpose-built car platforms designed for mounting cameras and capturing dynamic driving, chase, and motion sequences. From Russian arms and camera cars to process trailers and insert cars, these rigs enable complex moving shots that would be impossible with standard gear.
Here is the short of it. We source specialty camera rigs and cars from skilled local operators who know the safety and tech needs of car-mounted filming. Our team sets up rig availability, tech specs, and logistics to make sure your unit can capture dynamic vehicular sequences safely and efficiently.

On Location
Russian Arm and Edge Arm camera cars, Ronin 4D gimbal packages, and NMHH-licensed aerial work
Here is how this works in practice. Specialty rigs for Hungarian shoots are built around a tight-knit network of operators and cross-border partners. Russian Arm packages route through Pannonia Cine Service in Budapest, with Movietech Austria 2.5 hours' drive from BUD reachable inside a Schengen morning when local openings tightens against Dune Part Two, Witcher S3 or Disney+ feature schedules. Edge Arm and Black Arm 24-foot rigs cover the standard car-to-car and chase work along the M0 ring road, the M7 corridor to Lake Balaton or the Hortobágy puszta straight runs.
Here is the short of it. Camera cars and low-loader trailers carry full hostess configurations for car-interior dialogue scenes, and the gimbal stock. Movi Pro, DJI Ronin 4D and Ronin 2 packages. Covers handheld dynamic work from Buda Castle's narrow cobbled climbs to Aggtelek Karst cave entrances and Bükk forest tracking. Origo Film Group, Cinegrid Studios and Stúdió Etyek round out the inventory for short-notice scaling on multi-unit features.
Here is the breakdown. Aerial coverage adds another planning layer specific to Hungary. Drone work routes through NMHH and HungaroControl-licensed pilots. The Hungarian National Media and Infocommunications Authority range coordinator and the national air traffic controller. With full BUD CTR class-C airspace clearance for any Budapest urban work and dedicated permit packages for Hortobágy National Park, Aggtelek Karst UNESCO and Lake Balaton tourist-zone shoots.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Helicopter Wescam mounts ship through Plane Sense Hungary and Aero Vodochody's Budapest base for the Hortobágy puszta sunrise wide, the Aggtelek karst formations, the Lake Balaton north-shore wine country and the cross-border push to the Slovak Tatras when the brief reaches that far. Cold-weather scheduling from December through February demands cold-rated hydraulic fluid in arm columns, heater blankets on gimbal motors and battery rotation through Anton/Bauer Cine VCLX stations. Standard packs derate hard at -10°C and won't make a 12-hour day without staged warm-swap protocols.
