Spidercam And Gravity Media Group Join Forces In North America

Spidercam and Gravity Media Group have joined forces to accelerate growth in the adoption, service and support of the Spidercam system in North America.

This builds on their successful partnership in Australia and New Zealand that has been in effect since 2015.

The agreement was finalised recently at the NAB Show.

Gravity Media Group, through its Gearhouse Broadcast subsidiary, will use its deep live event experience and breadth of operation to support the expansion of use of Spidercam, enabling many more broadcasters, producers and directors to take advantage of the unique view that a Spidercam system offers to their production.

Spidercam will continue to provide the engineered systems whilst Gearhouse will take on responsibility for marketing the system locally, providing all crew and service support to customers in the USA and Canada alongside local maintenance and logistics.

Jan Peters, President of Spidercam US said: "We are delighted to be building on our successful relationship with Gravity Media Group in Australia and New Zealand. We look forward to working with Gearhouse Broadcast as a partner in developing the market for Spidercam and supporting many more users of the camera system in the USA and Canada."

John Newton, CEO of Gravity Media Group added: "We are very happy to be extending our working relationship with such a unique and high quality system that enables us to offer our existing and many potential new customers something quite different in the USA and Canada."

This acquisition was the latest in a series of strategic moves by Gravity Media Group, the owner of Gearhouse Broadcast. It follows the acquisitions of Hyperactive Broadcast and Input Media, and significant investment into its own existing American operation.
