FlyWire Ltd. were recently approached by SIS, the OB supplier for the BBC to provide a flying camera solution to enhance their live coverage of the England Rugby team’s home matches in the RBS 6 Nations Rugby Tournament.

Flywire is an experienced, approved supplier and installer of the ‘Spidercam’ lightweight HD flying camera system.

Flywire specialise in providing and installing the infrastructure to achieve an efficient installation which is as discrete as possible and includes all of the paperwork to satisfy current health and safety requirements.

The Spidercam system was installed into Twickenham Stadium, which includes four diverter pulleys mounted at the four corners of the stadium to fly a camera at up to 8m/sec to virtually any point above the pitch in an area up to 250 square metres. This offered unique vantage points of the action for the BBC viewers which were previously inaccessible.
