Tracking vehicles
Camera tracking vehicles for film, TV and ads

One team
Every angle, one crew
Combine vehicles on the same job: the trike on the beach, the RIB or jet ski on the water and a drone overhead, all planned, risk-assessed and run by one team.
Planned like our drone work
Every vehicle job gets a risk assessment and a clear plan for routes, speeds and safe distances. See how we work.
Dry hire
The Cine-Trike and e-bike can be dry hired to your grips. Every other vehicle comes with our own professional driver, rider or skipper.
