THE VOICE OF HOLLAND 2017 & 2018

By Egripment

Founded in 1976, Egripment has a long experience of a wide range of camera support and remote broadcast solutions to TV productions, concerts and sporting events around the globe. When Talpa Productions, the company behind The Voice of Holland, was looking to provide its viewers with a unique television experience, it turned to Egripment. For the production of the entire seasons, Egripment supplied a “full service” package comprised of a 15-meter-long Moviebird 52 telescopic camera crane, their TDT crane and their G-Track rail system including technicians and operators.

In 2017, the G-Track was installed underneath the stage with a NEWTON stabilized head moving at ground level through a linear gap in the stage floor. In this manner, the technical director got access to a remote controlled and stabilized low angle Grass Valley LDX80 camera with Canon HJ14 lens moving between the artists and the judges.

In 2018, Egripment introduced their G-Track Sky Track to the show and instead mounted the NEWTON gimbal on the track dolly, sliding horizontally in the ceiling above the performers. This instead gave the TV viewers a whole new angle of the stage and enabled for example the dancers to create performances best viewed from above.

We use our NEWTONs and G-track systems on a lot of TV shows and they are a very popular product combination with the Sony P1 and Grass Valley compact cameras.
