Specialized cable camera systems for live broadcast, cinema, and impossible terrain.
Sea to Sky Cable Cam builds and operates high-end cable cam systems for productions that need precision movement, serious payload capacity, and crews who know how to rig where other options break down. From live events and sport to episodic, features, documentaries, and action work, the company is built around delivering a striking perspective with dependable execution.
Motion systems designed for productions that need more than a rental list.
Sea to Sky’s value is the blend of engineering, rigging, and operating experience behind every shot. The systems are battery powered, portable, and built to travel into live event venues, remote landscapes, and controlled sets without losing the precision expected on high-end productions.
Five systems. One clearer story.
This page consolidates the existing Sea to Sky equipment pages into a service-led overview, closer to the way RVRD presents its capabilities: broad first, specific where it counts, and always tied back to the production problem being solved.

Horizontal Cam
The main horizontal system is a heavy-load, single-axis point-to-point build used for live broadcast and top-tier features and episodic television. The winch motor sits with the operators, enabling computer and joystick control, spans up to 2,000 feet, carries 200-pound payloads, and supports Filmotechnic Flight Heads, Scorpio Head, and Shotover B1 packages.

Vertical Cam
The vertical system is built for climbs, descents, and orientations where conventional cable movement becomes difficult or visually limiting. It can ascend up to 500 feet, carry up to 200 pounds, and be configured for windy outdoor locations with double support lines or tighter studio setups with reel-out workflows and predictable powered movement.

Live Broadcast Cam
Built for broadcast professionals, this live package is positioned as a full turnkey ecosystem with 10-hour runtime, large payload support, accessory power options, and long-range RF systems. The EX250 Sony broadcast setup adds a 4K 1-inch sensor, 25mm to 600mm lens range, RCP control, integrated FIZ, and internal ND in a weatherproof package.

Cinema Cable Cam
This cinema-focused system uses a motor-on-trolley layout, onboard batteries, one support cable, and rigging logic designed for rapid moves between locations. The current site emphasizes easy resets, advance-hung lines, and setups as fast as 30 minutes on a 500-foot tree line.

Filmotechnic Flight Heads
Through a partnership with Revered Cinema, Sea to Sky acts as the exclusive Western Canadian distributor and technician base for Filmotechnic Flight Heads. The current lineup includes the Flight Head Mini 3, XL, Apex, Russian Arm 6, and Russian Arm Mini, giving the page a natural bridge into higher-end stabilization credibility.
What makes Sea To Sky feel different.
The strongest message in the source material is not a single spec. It is the combination of heavy payload, battery-powered portability, rigging confidence, and operator experience in difficult terrain. This section translates that into clearer sales language.
Silent Operation
Battery-powered systems make the package more flexible for indoor venues, controlled sets, and locations where power infrastructure is a constraint.
Serious Payloads
Up to 200-pound camera packages creates room for real broadcast and cinema builds, not just lightweight compromises.
Hard-Location Rigging
Grand Canyon spans, cliff work, climbing films, and exposed setups make the company’s credibility feel earned rather than claimed.
Worldwide Crew
The current site already positions crew members as available worldwide, which gives the page a clearer production-service posture.
Past work should feel curated, not buried.
These reel and project references come directly from Sea to Sky’s current Vimeo and site archive. The goal is to present the best proof quickly, the way a production company or client actually scans a landing page.

Credibility starts with the founder.
Sea to Sky already has the right founder story on the current site. It just needs to be presented more cleanly: as a business led by a mechanical and electrical engineer with deep set experience, climbing experience, and a record of making difficult rigs work in the real world.
Built for the shots others call impossible.
Matt is the founder and the mechanical and electrical engineer behind Sea To Sky Cable Cam. His cable cam, head operating, rigging grip, and SPFX background gives the company a stronger operating foundation than a standard rental brand. Before that, his work in machine design and high-speed braking systems, combined with years as a professional climber, created the specific skill set that now defines the company.
That background matters because Sea to Sky is often working in the kind of terrain where engineering judgment, not just gear, makes the difference. The current site references a 2,000-foot Grand Canyon cable cam and a platform extending 40 feet out from the wall of Mt Bute for a BASE jump film. Those examples are exactly the kind of proof this page should foreground.
Around that founder story, the team bench can continue to highlight operators and riggers like Fish Boulton, Max Gregory, and Craig Bullen as experienced professionals trusted on complex productions.
Let’s talk about possibilities.
We love to talk about projects and possibilities. Sea to Sky operates worldwide and is based in Squamish, Canada, in the Sea to Sky region of British Columbia the company is proud to call home.
