RAIL TRACKING SYSTEMS
ACS Ground Tracks
Unique to ACS, our large inventory of in house designed and built ground
based tracks range from high speed systems configurable up to 170m in
length to lightweight rigs up to 30m
Our high speed straight tracks are compact with a low profile and
can be rigged either on a flat surface or following ground contours
or slope. They have fast acceleration (4m/s/s) and are capable
of speeds up to 14 metres per second with dynamic speed and
acceleration adjustments. A high specification belt drive and
control system provide accurate positioning and repeatable move
options as well being extremely safe in operation. Our rail systems
have the versatility to carry open stabilised mounts such as the Libra
head and STAB-C Compact or the HD Cineflex V14 (pictured above)
housing the Sony 1500 camera thereby providing production teams
with a choice of camera formats to fit their needs. In addition the
camera buggy is capable of carrying two camera mounts side by
side, allowing for simultaneous wide/tight coverage or high speed
replay/live camera options.

ACS also pioneered the athletics curved railcam to provide a unique
perspective of the runners as they race around the bend of the
track as well as the Linear Drive 260m J curve rail camera system
providing stunning live images of Winter Olympic speed skating
action.
Recognising the growing demand for
3D coverage, ACS has also developed
the 3D railcam, our first event covered
being Usain Bolt’s record breaking
150m sprint at the Manchester City
Games in 2009. Since then the 3D
track has covered numerous sporting events using a STAB-C
Compact stabilised mount and ET Pulsar Rig configuration to
provide the highest quality 3D event coverage which matches
seamlessly into the 3D production workflow.
MG2 Track
NTS Track
Where smaller railcam footprints are required, the MG2 and NTS
track (pictured above), combined with our ACS SMARThead™
remote head system provides the perfect solution. Available in
sections of 2.4m up to 30m in length, the system is quick to rig
and ideal for events where space and audience sight lines are at a
premium.
All tracks are provided with a full team of award-winning specialist
technicians and operators to oversee the installation and operation
in the field.
From commercials to film, entertainment and live events to sports
coverage ACS tracks provide the ideal solution to achieving
dynamic moving shots.
