Additional Context
A POV, or Point of View, camera rig, is a wearable support system that helps filmographers capture first-person footage, making the images more immersive. Some good examples of movies shot with POV cameras include horror films The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, and Cloverfield. Unfortunately, these rigs aren’t foolproof. The camera setup itself either gets in the way of the shot, or the footage captured isn’t an exact match for what the human eye sees. Cyclops POV, called “the world’s first” professional POV camera system, was designed to fix both of these issues.
“Having shot many projects in the past that required a point of view solution, I was never satisfied with the on-set experience or the resulting footage,” said James Medcraft, the founder of Cyclops POV.
