SCENE 01 / VEHICLE MOUNTING

Vehicle Mounting

Professional car and motorcycle camera rigs throughout New York.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Car mounting systems attach cameras securely to cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other cars to capture dynamic point-of-view and exterior motion footage. Pro mounting solutions have suction cups, clamps, roof rigs, and custom brackets engineered for safety at speed and vibration isolation.

Here is the short of it. We give car camera mounting systems and skilled rigging technicians who make sure safe, secure installations. Our team sets up the right mounting hardware for your car type and camera package, managing safety inspections and test runs so your vehicular footage is captured without risk.

On Location

Chapman/Leonard tracking vehicles and Russian Arm rigs across the five-borough autostrade

Here is how the work lines up. Car mounting in New York runs through Chapman/Leonard NY tracking cars, Sandcrane camera cars and Cinetech NY for the wider inventory of hood, side, roof and interior rigs, with Russian Arm ops servicing both feature work and the commercial bench. Our team installs suction cups, magnetic mounts, custom brackets, GoPro and Insta360 rigs and full-size remote heads, with vibration isolation tested against the surface and speed profile of each route. The five-borough autostrade — the FDR, the BQE, I-87, I-95, the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels, the Midtown Tunnel and the Brooklyn-Battery — supply the urban driving language shoots want on screen, with the Hudson Valley, Long Island parkway system and Upstate scenic routes covering open-road material that pursues need.

Here is the breakdown. Permits route through the NYPD Movie & TV Unit for street closures and police escort, with MTA Bridges & Tunnels handling restrictions on tall trucks and tracking rigs entering Manhattan, and the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment lining up the master permit and parking holds. Precision drivers brief from the same bench that services HBO, Apple and Netflix series. Russian Arm tracking choreographed against picture-car marks, safety inspections and test passes ahead of each fast take, FDNY film safety officer attached where pyro or stunt overlaps the schedule. The New York State Film Tax Credit at thirty per cent — with the ten-per-cent NYC uplift where qualifying — covers car, crew and day-rate spend, with Teamsters Local 817 driving and IATSE Local 600 camera ops anchoring the union compliance the programme needs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle mounting options do you offer?

We give full car mounting including suction cup rigs, magnetic mounts, Russian arms on tracking cars, hood/side/rear mounts, and interior camera rigs. Each setup is chosen based on shot needs and car type.

Can you film at high speeds?

Yes, with appropriate safety measures, we can film at high speeds. This needs precision drivers, road closures or private locations, and specialized mounting that's rated for the speeds involved. Private circuits and race tracks in New York are ready for high-speed work.

Do you provide tracking vehicles?

Yes, we give tracking cars equipped with Russian arms or stabilized heads for smooth footage while following action cars. These allow dynamic camera movement while keeping stable footage.

What about road closure permits?

We handle all permit needs for car filming including road closures where needed. New York authorities need specific records and advance notice—we set up everything including police presence when needed.

Can you film motorcycles?

Yes, we film motorcycles using follow cars, bike-mounted cameras, and rider-worn systems. This has commercial work, race footage, and narrative chase sequences with appropriate safety protocols.

What New York roads are available?

New York gives top driving locations—mountain passes, Atlantic coastal roads, scenic highways, and urban environments. We know the most cinematic roads and how to access them for filming.

Productions in New York that need this often pair it with Helicopter Filming, Car Filming, and Aerial Drone Services for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Location Sound Services and Specialty Camera Rigs.
