Very nice. Was that some cable cam near the end with slomo? Tricky to setup/time/capture? Continuous raw yes? 
7q on the cable cam...?
7q on the cable cam...?Cheers!
Regarding the set up - We have been building our cable cam system for the past 18 months and are now using it for broadcast events and commercial shoots. We have a modified dji Ronin that allows us to have the FS700, 7Q, Teradek, wireless zoom/focus, secondary RF signal and a remote lanc cable for record/stop. It's then just a case of programming the transmitter to operate everything correctly. Which was a bit of a bugger
Main drive motor was the hardest part but now we found the right one, it goes from stand still to 35mph super smooth and without and vibration/wobble. So timing isn't 'that' difficult. Whereas before we needed a rolling start.
Set up time varies from 45min to 3 hours depending on what we are rigging from and how many health and safety numpties are watching. We designed it so that it can rig off any single point such as a tree, rock, digger etc but unlike most other single point cable cams it has dual cables for stability.
Ill post it's some pictures when I'm back in the office.

Very nice. The cablecam footage was top notch of course, but I particularly liked the main body of the piece, with the use of negative space and selective focus to drive the viewer.
