„Three World Championships with one system in two months – it can’t get any better than that“ Daniel Pfleger, CEO RTS Rail&Tracking Systems points out.
Indeed, TrackRunner offers a lot of  advantages: it is suitable for almost any type of camera and remotehead, for example the „double driver“ mentioned above is often equipped with a special slowmotion camera additionally to the standard EB camera unit. At the Canoe WC in Duisburg there were two fully stabilized Nettmann Stab C Compact remoteheads with Grass Valley cameras, one with a 42fold the other with a 22fold lense.

Amongst other special features, TrackRunner runs extremly smooth due to its unique Cable Management System and with a high speed of 13 m/s it is stunningly fast. TrackRunner is suitable  for cornerings on curved tracks and may also  be mounted in an up side down hanging position which makes it an ideal allrounder for any live broadcast event.
