'The Upper Cut team were a dream to work with on our busy London shoot with Peloton this year. We covered a hugely ambitious amount of challenging locations, filming cyclists and runners delivering dialogue at great pace. The guys constantly delivered perfect tracking camerawork which enabled us to focus on capturing the performance and stay on schedule. Their drone work was never less than superb and they were always ready with solutions, and a smile.

Upper Cut will be your secret weapon!'

CineBike + Jackal Rickshaw

If you’re looking for an affordable, road-legal tracking vehicle to smoothly pull your cam op along at speeds up to 15mph - this is an excellent option! This versatile setup allows a dedicated steadicam / handheld camera operator to capture tracking shots with minimal lockoffs and permissions required. Our CineBike has more than enough power to pull the weight - ideal for filming runners, walkers and cyclists.

The Jackal Rickshaw can be unhooked in seconds to be used for standard push / pull moves.
