Defy Cable Camera

PORTABLE, SIMPLE, YET POWERFUL!

DEFY Dactylcam is a premium camera cable system carrying loads up to 50lbs over 40 mph. Designed to give cinematographers a tool that creates a unique perspective, the Dactylcam is truly a simple, powerful and portable system giving freedom to create the movement your production demands.

The sled moves up to 1200ft on synthetic lines and is driven by an efficient yet powerful motor with an adjustable tool-free tension drive. Single or multi-user operation combined with a portable and lightweight design allows for quick set up with one line or multiple lines no matter your crew size.

Dactylcam comes with everything inside a pelican case with all rigging and accessories ready for any production.

FEATURES

POWER

The DEFY Dactylcam is designed to support heavy payloads that could normally not be achieved in any other aerial filming application. The adjustable drive wheel allows the user to achieve the smoothest motion under extreme conditions. The Dactylcam is capable of carrying payloads up to 50 pounds as well as speeds up to 40 mph.

PAYLOAD

The DEFY Dactylcam is designed to pack down into any production size. Constructed from a two-piece aluminum sled, allows the Dactylcam to disassemble into a very manageable footprint. Because of its portability, Dactylcam gives users the ability to capture shots they would normally be unable to achieve.

VERSATILITY

The DEFY Dactylcam is designed to give you the versatility your productions require. With its quick setup time and easy movability, you can now film in tight locations that were otherwise off-limits. Filming inches above water, through trees or over large crowds is no match for the Dactylcam. This setup will truly be one of the most versatile and safest products in your productions.

SIMPLICITY

The DEFY Dactylcam is designed to be one of the easiest line systems to use. The two-piece packable aluminum sled is quick to assemble and setup. Gimbals are attached using our unique dampening swing and quick release plate, allowing users to go from handheld mode to line mode in minutes. Two safety pins allow you to easily attach the system to a line or move between multiple lines quickly. The Dactylcam adds a completely different look to your productions and keeps the learning curve minimal.
