Patent attributes
A camera platform track provides running surfaces for independent movement of two or more camera platforms, improves strength to weight ratio, improves torsional rigidity, restricts camera platforms from wandering during filming, and improves traction. The camera platform track includes top running surfaces for a first camera platform, and one or more lower running surfaces for additional camera platforms, allowing desired versatility in filming. The camera platform tracks include a box base and an I-beam reaching up from the base to provide strength and torsional rigidity without excessive weight. The running surface lateral spacing may vary from camera platform wheel spacing providing centering to reduce or eliminate wandering, and may include grooves to improve traction. wandering, and may include grooves to improve traction.
