SCENE 01 / VEHICLE MOUNTING
Vehicle Mounting
Professional car and motorcycle camera rigs throughout Japan.
Vehicle mounting systems fix cameras safely to cars, trucks, and motorcycles. They capture dynamic point-of-view shots and exterior motion footage. Pro mounts use suction cups, clamps, roof rigs, and custom brackets, all built to stay safe at speed and to soak up vibration.
We provide vehicle camera mounts and skilled rigging crews who ensure every install is safe and secure. Our team picks the right hardware for your vehicle type and camera package. We also run safety checks and test drives, so your footage is captured without risk.

On Location
Vehicle Camera Rigs Throughout Japan
Our vehicle mounting teams kit out cars, trucks, motorcycles, and tracking rigs across Japan's most cinematic road network.
That reach spans the Hakone mountain pass, the Izu Peninsula coastal loop, and the Shōnan beach corridor south of Tokyo. It also covers the historic Higashiyama lanes of Kyoto, the Okinawan island highways, and the Aso caldera roads on Kyushu. Suction cups, magnetic mounts, hood and side brackets, interior rigs, Russian arms, and stabilised tracking cars are all sized to each shoot. Rigging techs then inspect, test-run, and sign off every install before the first take.
For high-speed scenes, we work closely with police and the local prefectural film offices to clear road closures. Private circuits like Fuji Speedway and Suzuka are also on offer for closed automotive shoots and beverage commercials.
Precision drivers run pursuit choreography for both narrative and commercial work, while motorcycle follow rigs cover bike-mounted POV and chase scenes. We line up motorcade permits, traffic plans, and police presence through Film Commission Japan and the regional offices. The result is dynamic vehicle footage that meets the country's J-LOC subsidy commercial slate and the standards of global automotive campaigns.
Every rig is sized to the camera package and the road speed it must hold. Russian arms and stabilised heads carry RED V-Raptor bodies for crisp tracking footage. Vibration mounts and damped brackets soak up road buzz at speed. Drivers and rigging techs work to call-sheet hours set under the Japanese Labor Standards Act, with breaks on long road days. We coordinate the unit in English and quote in JPY, with the 10 per cent consumption tax on every line.
Capture rolls straight into a clean post handoff. We stabilise and grade in DaVinci Resolve, then deliver to Rec.709, HDR, or Dolby Vision, as the platform asks. Imagica and Sony PCL conform and finish the longer automotive masters. Deliverables meet Fuji TV, TBS, and Netflix Japan specs for broadcast and streaming. Camera reports and rig notes travel with each clip, so global automotive campaigns and J-LOC slates drop straight into the cut.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicle mounting options do you offer?
We provide full vehicle mounting, including suction cup rigs, magnetic mounts, Russian arms on tracking cars, hood/side/rear mounts, and interior camera rigs. Each setup is chosen to fit the shot and the vehicle type.
Can you film at high speeds?
Yes, with the right safety measures, we can film at high speeds. This calls for precision drivers, road closures or private sites, and mounts rated for those speeds. Race circuits in Japan are well suited to high-speed work.
Do you provide tracking vehicles?
Yes, we provide tracking cars fitted with Russian arms or stabilized heads, which keep footage smooth as they follow the action vehicle. These rigs allow dynamic camera moves while the shot stays stable.
What about road closure permits?
We handle every permit for vehicle filming, including road closures where they are needed. Japan's authorities ask for set records and advance notice, and we arrange it all, right down to police presence when required.
Can you film motorcycles?
Yes, we film motorcycles with follow cars, bike-mounted cameras, and rider-worn systems. This covers commercial work, race footage, and narrative chase scenes, all run under the right safety protocols.
What roads are available in Japan?
Japan offers superb driving locations, from scenic mountain passes to coastal drives along Okinawa and the historic streets of Kyoto. Our team knows the most cinematic roads and how to get access to film on them.
