Description
MotoCrane DVM (Driver View Monitor)
Real-Time Arm Feedback System for Camera Car Drivers
The MotoCrane DVM (Driver View Monitor) is a specialized monitoring system designed to give camera car drivers instant, at-a-glance visual feedback on the position, movement, and status of the MotoCrane arm system. On high-speed, high-stakes film sets, drivers are responsible not just for safe vehicle operation but also for coordinating movement with the gimbal arm. The DVM reduces that burden by delivering real-time arm diagnostics and positional data, allowing the driver to focus on the road while remaining fully informed of the arm’s behavior.
Whether you’re navigating complex stunt sequences or tracking precision camera moves, the DVM empowers your team to operate safer and smarter.
Why DVM Matters on Set:
On dynamic and fast-moving productions, especially involving camera cars, every role is critical—and that includes the driver. The Driver View Monitor provides a vital information layer by showing arm telemetry data in real time. This allows drivers to anticipate gimbal movements, stay aware of maximum travel limits, and prevent hazardous positioning—all without taking their eyes off the road.
From stunt coordination to live-action commercials and cinematic driving scenes, the DVM contributes directly to shot precision and on-set safety.
