Matt Gladstone is a freelance cameraman and founder of Cammotion, a company specializing in camera control technology. Cammotion’s first product is an innovative piece of grip equipment – Vortex aerial camera mount system. Vortex has the potential to provide completely unique shots at heights and places inaccessible to other vertical tracking equipment (cranes, helicopters, wire systems etc.). Vortex tracks on shot vertically from ground level up to 30 metres (or the 12th storey of a building) using a small footprint. The self-supporting system is compact in transport, no bigger than a 4x4, and can be used on uneven ground or slopes, making ground to high angle vertical tracking shots possible in unusual and relatively confined outdoor locations. Above all, Vortex is quick to set up (approx. 30 minutes) and can easily relocate several times in one day. A showreel can be viewed at www.cammotion.co.uk.
