India\u2019s First Self-Designed Rotating Body Rig<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Invented by Cinematographer Gopikrishna SICA member\u00a0 after six months of research and development, this pioneering rig redefines how movement is captured on camera. Designed and built entirely in India, it can fully rotate even high-end cinema cameras like the RED Komodo, unlocking 360\u00b0 storytelling freedom.<\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s a Game-Changer<\/p>\n

Instead of relying on cranes, gimbals, or multi-operator rigs, this setup allows the DOP to personally control rotation speed and direction while wearing the rig. This gives unmatched intimacy, precision, and creative control in both planned and spontaneous shots.<\/p>\n
