The “Flying Prime Cam” cable camera system, owned by the German company HSD, has been introduced late 2017 and has delivered perfect pictures at the international Ski-Jumping and Ski-Flying events. It utilizes state of the art technology to allow the 5-axis stabilized camera platform “DynaX5” to “fly” down the slope with the jumper with up to 200 km/h, in a ballistic free fall.

The system incorporates standard Full-HD and UHD broadcast camera systems, and zoom-lenses, allowing a wide variety of shots. The operator controls the camera head using the commercial-grade MIMO transmission system, enabling full, real-time, gimbal and camera control. The video engineers in the OB truck therefore have direct control of the camera’s iris and image optimization settings.

Camera System: DynaX5

The DynaX5 has been chosen for this product, as it is the lightest of its class, delivering superb camera stabilization, while allowing the camera and lens to be easily exchanged, as required.
