Dialing in a dynamic shot with the 'Sputnik' rig. Here paired with a Sony FX3A, Zeiss Nano Prime, and the DJI Focus Pro Creater Combo, this setup nails a repeatable, single-take pivot from prop to performance.

The Sputnik isn't just for a gag shot; it's a precision tool for crafting immersive motion. It's the go-to when you need to seamlessly transition from a product shot—be it a phone, a burger, or a hero prop—directly to a clean face shot of your talent.

Think beyond Bad Boys 4 POVs. Imagine this precision for high-end fast-food commercials, sleek tech ads, or dynamic beverage campaigns. It's the perfect rig for when you want the prop to be a character and still land a powerful close-up, all without overbuilding your camera package.

We offer the Sputnik as part of our Snorricam Pro kit. Available at .rentals.amsterdam
