Configured together
Camera, optics, gimbal, focus, transmission and support are treated as one system.

Cameras / Optics / Stabilisation / Monitoring
Cinema camera systems configured as one working package.
Camera body, lens, stabilisation, focus, monitoring and support are selected together around the shot, movement and production footprint—not assembled as disconnected pieces of equipment.
01 / Approach
The right package reduces friction on set.
Specialist shots often fail at the joins between camera, lens, support and control. Big Bird configures the complete working system so it can move cleanly, communicate reliably and integrate with the production camera workflow.
Packages range from compact stabilised systems and remote cameras to cinema bodies selected for aerial, tracking, FPV and confined-space work.
Built for movement
Packages are selected around payload, balance, access, speed and the intended camera move.
Production-ready workflow
Monitoring, control, media and changes are planned around the needs of camera and production teams.
02 / Systems
Flexible systems for specialist movement.
System / 01
Ronin 4D
A compact full-frame cinema package combining four-axis stabilisation, LiDAR-assisted focus, wireless monitoring and cinema prime lenses.
System / 02
RED KOMODO 6K
A compact global-shutter cinema body suited to high-speed movement, remote rigs, tracking systems and FPV platforms.
System / 03
Compact remote cameras
Lightweight cinema, 360 and action-camera options for mounted, confined-space and specialty viewpoints.
03 / Production process
From brief to moving image.
Start with the image
Define the format, lens character, movement, frame rate, monitoring and delivery requirements.
Match the platform
The camera package is balanced against the aerial, vehicle, remote or operator-driven system.
Build the workflow
Focus, transmission, power, media, control and support are configured around the day.
Test before the take
The complete package is checked with the crew so production can move quickly on set.
04 / Useful details
Before the cameras move.
Useful starting points for producers, directors and camera departments planning camera systems.
Does Big Bird provide camera rental only?
Big Bird's focus is a complete operated camera solution. Equipment is configured with the technical and operating crew required for the shot.
Can camera systems be used on drones and tracking vehicles?
Yes. Camera and lens choices are matched to the payload, balance, control and safety limits of the selected aerial or vehicle platform.
Can you match an existing production camera workflow?
The team plans format, lensing, monitoring, focus, media and control with the production camera department so the specialist system integrates cleanly.
What information should be included in a camera-system brief?
Share the intended shot, camera format, lenses, frame rate, movement, location, dates and any monitoring or delivery requirements.
