SHOTOVER F1 LIVE
FLEXIBILITY & CONTROL LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED
The F1 LIVE is the ultimate solution for the broadcast industry, taking the best of the original F1 and streamlining it into a custom package for the ENG market. The system’s 6-axis design delivers a superior range of movement and precision control of pan, tilt, and roll when looking straight down, allowing you to capture the perfect shot without getting stuck in gimbal lock. The F1 LIVE comes fully configured and set up from the factory with your camera and lens of choice, and it supports all major broadcast cameras, including both 4k and 2k models. The open platform design of the F1 LIVE makes it future proof, so you’re not locked into one payload.
