🌧️Extreme winter weather? Our remote controlled broadcast cameras don’t mind.
This time of year is when Pivot’s outdoor PTZ cameras really prove their worth to Outside Broadcasts, delivering crystal-clear, rock-steady shots in conditions that would cause havoc to traditional broadcast cameras and their operators, especially when high up on a tower.
Before Pivot created our long distance remote control system for outdoor broadcasts, we too used to have to build expensive scaffolding towers and send an operator up into whatever the British weather felt like throwing at them.
(See the photo… we’ve come a long way! 👀)
But that challenge is exactly a reason that inspired us to rethink the possibilities.
Today we love getting creative on how and where we mount our PTZ cameras with our truss towers to give the audience a great view of the action - without the H&S risk, without the cost, without the risk to expensive broadcast kit and without any crew member being blasted by horizontal rain for 10 hours and suffering hypothermia!
Our PTZ cameras are built for the extremes:
✔️ Windscreen wipers to clear rain instantly
✔️ Heaters, fans & de-misters for all-weather lens clarity
✔️ 20x optical zoom & image stabilisation
✔️ Remote operation from a warm, dry control room
✔️ Full integration into PTZ-only or hybrid productions
✔️ Battery or plug-in operation
Whether you need one camera, a 40-camera PTZ production, or a hybrid setup, Pivot has the rigging kit, the expertise, and the reliability to make it happen; anywhere, in any weather. Our cameras have travelled the world, worked across top-tier reality TV shows, and continue to open creative possibilities, that were once impossible without major infrastructure builds.
