Pedestal TV Announces Bosher Levelling Head

News Image
Welsh company Pedestal Television's engineering brand Bosher has announced the new Bosher levelling system for Polecam.
The Bosher Levelling Head BH-02 is a tripod system built for Polecam owner operators, engineered by Les & Chris Bosher.
The Polecam pan & tilt head is re-attached to the front of the rig by a bespoke quick release clamp and is levelled by a cable, maintaining a level horizon during movements.
Polecam owner operator John Gillan said: "I've just come back from the Bahamas where I was shooting a Red Bull Ultimate Rush documentary with my Polecam. I knew that I would be set up on a cliff top with a likelihood of strong winds, always a problem for any jib or crane, so I ordered a Bosher Head system from Chris and took it with me to help stabilize the Polecam in what could be a very difficult situation.
"In the event there were indeed strong winds, and I'm happy to say that the system worked perfectly. It did exactly what I hoped it would do, and I certainly wouldn't have been able to shoot it so successfully without it.
“The Bosher Head system will now become part of my Polecam kit, and I have the confidence to know that I can shoot outdoors in difficult windy locations and produce stable results. Polecam is already an amazing production tool and this enhances its capabilities even further."
The Bosher Levelling Head system is retro compatible with all existing Polecam heads, including the FishFace underwater system.
