Cable Cam Systems

Japan's stadiums, arenas, and event venues are made for cable-suspended cinema.

Tokyo Dome, Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Saitama Super Arena, and Kyocera Dome Osaka all bring the scale and structural anchor points that point-to-point and Spidercam-style 3D rigs need. Our rigging crews handle the site survey, the structural review, and the full safety sign-off that Japanese venue operators expect. We also line up broadcast partners for live transmission when matches, concerts, or festivals need real-time overhead coverage.

System design starts from the shot list. Linear point-to-point spans cover stage-to-audience travel for arena concerts in Saitama and Yokohama. Multi-axis 3D systems open up the full X/Y/Z movement that NPB baseball coverage and large brand activations across Tokyo and Osaka call for.

We carry cinema bodies on stabilised heads just as readily as broadcast cameras with live feeds. Backup cable runs and emergency braking meet Japanese safety standards. Our crews work over audience areas where permits and venue deals allow it. Install times run from a single day for compact rigs up to multi-day builds for fully tracked stadium setups.

The operating crew is sized to the rig, not a fixed headcount. A point-to-point span needs a pilot and a stabilised-head operator. A full 3D Spidercam-style system adds winch techs, riggers, and a safety lead. Our operators rehearse moves against the run-of-show before doors open. They cue with the broadcast gallery and the venue floor team. English-language coordination runs through the unit, so overseas directors call shots without a language gap.

Scheduling is built around venue access, not just the shoot day. Stadiums in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka release rigging windows the night before or in the early hours. We hold those slots and pad time for the structural sign-off Japanese operators expect. On wrap we hand off logged footage, with live cuts already delivered to the broadcast feed. Recorded angles route to local post partners such as Imagica for grade and finishing in DaVinci Resolve. Japanese consumption tax of 10% applies, and all quotes are issued in JPY.
