ACE SkyRunner Z
The SkyRunner Z is a 2D overhead linear tracking system. The system is a combination of a traveling winch on a rail dolly with a stabilized head all riding on overhead-mounted track. The rail provides the horizontal in-line movement while the winch provides the vertical movement. The SkyRunner Z can be outfitted with the ACE Newton or ACE Shotover stabilized head. The head attaches to a camera tray that moves up and down with the winch on the dolly track, creating compound and compelling moves. The track is hard-mounted on box truss and has a stroke of 100 feet. This system includes internal cable management and is fiber-based. It can move at speeds of 5 m/s both dolly and winch. Breathtaking speed and spectacular vertical camera moves can be realized with a completely steady and smooth picture. On the winch, stop marks can be set to define a minimal or maximal distance the system has to climb or descend. With all our flying systems, safety is our main concern. The SkyRunner Z is BGVC1 safety-certificated for the operation above the audience.

ACE Spidercam Light
Spidercam Light PRO, a STABILIZED 4 Point Rope Flying System, provides extraordinary and immersive perspectives. This “little sister” of the well-known Spidercam ELITE was specifically designed by the manufacturer for use in smaller venues, arenas, and studios to address real estate issues with the winches and obstructions that necessitate lower hanging pulley points while allowing the head to fly higher. A smaller dolly with a stabilized Newton remote head, smaller winches, and a sag of just 5° enable the use of this innovative 4-point rope system even in flat studios. This makes the Spidercam Light an ideal partner for television shows, concerts, sports, entertainment, and sports.
The Spidercam ELITE is a cable-suspended camera system best suited for large venues, including stadiums, arenas, or large studios. Four winches can support and move either the X or Y dolly (camera transport platform) in three axes (3D movement), providing stationary or moving camera shots from almost any angle and position within the flying area.
Spidercam’s safety features include software assistance, emergency stops, dual safety brakes, and constant system monitoring. Pilots and technicians are specially trained to ensure a safe working environment on all productions, maintaining full compliance with global safety standards and offering regular maintenance and support.
Manufactured from high-quality aluminum at its core, Spidercam systems are built with synthetic catenary cables and designed to protect against outdoor conditions, dust, and water. Spidercam can be installed in every kind of outdoor venue and most indoor venues, arenas, and TV studios.
Spidercam’s fiber optic connections ensure no loss of return video. The signals for the camera, RCP, lens, microphone, speaker, tally, and genlock communications are all transmitted over the fiber link to provide consistent, interference-free transmission.
The system’s user interface provides operators with full creativity using the joysticks as well as the ability to record and play back moves from the dolly and/or camera to ensure consistent movements.
Spidercam systems include the option to add a multi-purpose screen and microphone for in-field/venue interviews, increasing the versatility of your production and enhancing the viewer experience.
Offering 4K camera packages and integrated, accurate tracking data, Spidercam enables integration with many third-party graphics and render engines to enhance your production value.

ACE LiftWinch DescenderCam
The DescenderCam is a new kind of 1D winch system featuring amazing acceleration force and impressive speed for descending and ascending movement. With a breathtaking speed of 8.5 m/sec, spectacular vertical camera moves can be realized with a completely steady and smooth picture as the gyrostabilized ACE Newton, ACE Shotover, or ACE Stab C Compact remote head complements the versatile system. On the rope, stop marks can be set to define a minimal or maximal distance the system has to climb or descend. No matter if in studios with high ceilings or outdoor, the LiftWinch system is vertically displaceable from the floor up to the (lighting) rig or even beyond up to the deviating point. The setup of the system is quick and easy, and it is BGVC1 safety-certificated for the operation above the audience. Speed 8.5 Meters per second Max stroke is 80 meters Max payload is 80 KG
