SCENE 01 / VEHICLE MOUNTING
Vehicle Mounting
Professional car and motorcycle camera rigs throughout Portugal.
Here is how this works in practice. Car mounting systems attach cameras securely to cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other cars to capture dynamic point-of-view and exterior motion footage. Pro mounting solutions have suction cups, clamps, roof rigs, and custom brackets engineered for safety at speed and vibration isolation.
Here is the short of it. We give car camera mounting systems and skilled rigging technicians who make sure safe, secure installations. Our team sets up the right mounting hardware for your car type and camera package, managing safety inspections and test runs so your vehicular footage is captured without risk.

On Location
Vehicle camera mounting across Portugal — suction-cup hood-and-fender rigs, Mitchell Iron Mickey low-mode chassis mounts, Stuntwood crash boxes, Tyler magnetic motorcycle rigs, plus Russian Arm and Ultimate Arm via Iberian-cross-border Madrid pipeline for Rally de Portugal WRC, F1-MotoGP Portimão, Estoril autodrome, and Cabo da Roca cliff-road runs.
Here is how this works in practice. Our car-mount packages route Filmotechnic Russian Arm and Ultimate Arm (six-axis stabilized car-mount crane with seven-meter telescoping reach and dual-axis remote head on Mercedes ML 350, Range Rover Sport, Audi Q7, and Porsche Cayenne chase sites — sourced via Iberian cross-border Filmotechnic Madrid, Cinegrell Madrid, and Sigma Cine Madrid on five-to-six-hour van runs from Lisbon), Stuntwood Pursuit Truck box-truck-mount sites, Pocket Pursuit Mini, plus Mitchell Iron Mickey low-mode chassis-mount rigs for ride-along POV captures.
Here is the breakdown. Suction-cup hood-and-fender rigs route Tyler 3-X Heavy Duty Vacuum Mount (rated to seventy-pound payload at one-hundred-mile-per-hour airspeed), Manfrotto 244N Magic Arm, Cinevate Suction Pro, and SmallRig Heavy Duty Suction Cup with safety-cable backup. Motorcycle mounts route Tyler Magnetic Mounts with rare-earth neodymium attachment and emergency-tether redundancy, Honda Riot motorcycle camera-rigs, and Manfrotto Magic Arms for tank-and-handlebar positions. Driver-and-stunt planning via pro FIA-licensed Iberian stunt-driving roster.
Here is the short of it. Route applications anchor on Portuguese motorsport heritage — Rally de Portugal WRC (Algarve stages including Lousada, Monte Redondo, Cabeceiras de Basto. Since the 1970s), F1 Portimão Grand Prix (Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, 2020-2021 race weekends with Lewis Hamilton podiums), MotoGP Portimão (since 2020 with Marc Márquez and Francesco Bagnaia race weekends), and Estoril autodrome heritage (Autódromo do Estoril hosted F1 1984-1996 with Ayrton Senna's first F1 win at Estoril 1985 in Lotus 97T).
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Plus Cabo da Roca cliff-road ways (westernmost mainland Europe), Sintra Cultural Landscape UNESCO 1995 winding mountain roads through Pena Palace and Quinta da Regaleira, Lisbon Avenida da Liberdade and Marquês de Pombal corridors, Porto Ribeira UNESCO 1996 cobblestone laneways, Algarve N125 coastal route, Douro Valley UNESCO 2001 vineyard switchbacks, and Iberian-cross-border Lisbon-Madrid A6-A5 highway.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicle mounting options do you offer?
We give full car mounting including suction cup rigs, magnetic mounts, Russian arms on tracking cars, hood/side/rear mounts, and interior camera rigs. Each setup is chosen based on shot needs and car type.
Can you film at high speeds?
Yes, with appropriate safety measures, we can film at high speeds. This needs precision drivers, road closures or private locations, and specialized mounting that's rated for the speeds involved. Portuguese race circuits are ready for high-speed work.
Do you provide tracking vehicles?
Yes, we give tracking cars equipped with Russian arms or stabilized heads for smooth footage while following action cars. These allow dynamic camera movement while keeping stable footage.
What about road closure permits?
We handle all permit needs for car filming including road closures where needed. Portuguese authorities need specific records and advance notice—we set up everything including police presence when needed.
Can you film motorcycles?
Yes, we film motorcycles using follow cars, bike-mounted cameras, and rider-worn systems. This has commercial work, race footage, and narrative chase sequences with appropriate safety protocols.
What Portuguese roads are available?
Portugal gives top driving locations—mountain passes, Atlantic coastal roads, tree-lined scenic routes, and urban environments. We know the most cinematic roads and how to access them for filming.
