Discuss a Hyper-WarpCam® setup
Operated by Ferdi Fischer — Inventor of WarpCam®
Hyper-WarpCam® is led by Ferdi Fischer, inventor of WarpCam® with more than a decade operating pole-mounted cameras on major films, series, and global commercials. He developed WarpCam®’s pole-mounted operating method and continues to evolve it on big shows where precision, safety, and timing are critical. Ferdi personally runs the rig on set, aligning choreography, camera, and stunt safety into one unified move. The result is repeatable, editorially powerful shots designed to deliver editorially distinctive trailer and hero moments.
Proven Pole‑Mounted Action with Dual‑Operator Control
Years of on‑set use have refined our pole‑mounted workflow for chases, fights, and stunt work. A dual‑operator setup separates piloting from framing and focus for stable, readable images at speed. A motion‑control monitor provides precise remote gimbal control for pan, tilt, and roll while operators remain clear of the danger zone. Low‑latency monitoring and wireless lens control keep timing and marks consistent, take after take.
Freefly Ember High-Speed Capture with ZEISS Nano Primes
Hyper-WarpCam® uses the Freefly Ember platform for high-speed action capture. Depending on the camera configuration and workflow, the platform supports up to 5K/600 fps or 4K/800 fps. ZEISS Nano Prime lenses are included in the Hyper-WarpCam® package price. The exact recording mode and production workflow are confirmed for each sequence.
HYPER-WARPCAM® FAQ
What is Hyper-WarpCam®?
Hyper-WarpCam® is the ultra-high-speed branch of the WarpCam® approach, built for cinematic slow motion. The current Ember setup is described at up to 600 fps in 5K and up to 800 fps in 4K.
How is Hyper-WarpCam® different from WarpCam®?
WarpCam® covers a wider handheld, pole, vehicle, RC and FPV ecosystem. Hyper-WarpCam® focuses that moving, close-proximity camera language on extreme slow-motion capture.
Who operates Hyper-WarpCam®?
Ferdi Fischer personally operates the rig on set, aligning choreography, camera movement and the production’s stunt-safety process into one repeatable move.
What kinds of moments is Hyper-WarpCam® built for?
It is designed for action where ultra-high-speed capture reveals detail, weight and timing—and for distinctive trailer, hero and editorial moments.
