Blackcam B40

Elegant Integration

Blackcam B40 – the Emmy Award nominated rail camera system is characterized in particular by its compact size and small rail width. In addition, two integrated joints in the dolly allow a curve radius of only 1 m to be driven. As with all other Blackcam models, operation is possible wired or wireless, manual or automated.

The camera movements are smooth. The acceleration can be adjusted via track controller and software. Thus, all movements are smooth and flowing, whether slow or fast.

Let us know how you would like to use it, we create the system configuration that fits your needs.
