The World of HD Minicams...
is changing all the time
Prime Television has been supplying minicams for all areas of broadcast for over 15 years. When it comes to minicam facilitation we have seen it, done it, got the T-shirt, ironed out problems and perfected the service.
We would like to share that knowledge and experience with you and your team...

A Dream Job
We love what we do with Minicams but sometime a job comes along that is a minicam engineer's dream.
Working with Dan Snow for a documentary for the BBC, we were called in to rig 13 Minicameras to three WW1 Aeroplanes. The planes; a German Fokker Triplane, a Sopwith Triplane and BE2c twin seater Biplane. Dan Snow commentated from the front seat of the BE2c as the Fokker and Sopwith staged a dog fight around him. The day was perfect in every way, sunshine, blue skies with just the right number of clouds allowing us to record some truly wonderful video from all 13 minicams.

Lidl Commercial
The use of minicams in commercial production is not new; we filmed our first TV commercial with Minicams for Wrigley's Spearmint Gum in 2001 but that was shot in a typical Candid Camera style. Our latest advert for Lidl was a totally different proposition, the quality needed to be more in line with top end commercial production cameras but be small enough to be hidden from view of the general public. The resulting commercials were very well received.
