Overview
What it is.
The Talon Cinema is a 2-axis, non-stabilized remote head from Ravensclaw's Talon line. It pans and tilts a full broadcast camera by remote, from a position with no room for an operator. We run it on top of our towercams, on tripods, hung from truss, or locked off on the set, and every one goes out with the required technicians.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is the Talon Cinema stabilized?
No. It's a pan-tilt head without active stabilization. When a move needs stabilizing, we run an ARRI SRH-360 or a FoMa Antares instead.
What does it mount to?
Our towercams, tripods, truss, or a locked-off mount on the set. Tell us the position and we'll rig it.
Does it come with an operator?
Yes. Every head goes out with the required Fluid Pictures technicians.
