Coolest SUV thingy ever. : culture|garage

So, I have been a bit absent lately, it’s coming into finals week for my last semester of graduate school and on top of that, things have been swamped at work. I just spent a few days in California filming some stuff for work. We were lucky enough to do the filming at the Streets of Willow Springs. With some pretty talented Rally America drivers. I will share the films and commercials once they are blessed and ready to go public, just like I did last time.

Anyways, this bad ass SUV is called an ultimate arm. The company has a few of these, among them is a matte blacked out Cayenne Turbo. For this shoot we used a MB ML55AMG with some fancy HD camera. Anyways, the arm has a ton of motion and reach capabilities and is pretty funny to watch chase cars around the track. One more picture after the jump.

Honestly, I don’t get it. That just doesn’t seem like the best setup. There’s just no way that could possibly provide as stable of a shot as a flat bed rig. Were they looking for some more pep to keep up with the cars, maybe?

Also, when are you going to get me out on one of these shoots?

It’s extremely stable. Plus it’s about as fast as you can get…compared to a flat bed rig. Plus the amount of articulation is ridiculous.

The same company that has that Mercedes also has several other camera cars, one of which is a highly modded lancer evo. (thank you discovery channel)
