Los Angeles, CA (February 17, 2012) – ZipCam ‘made history’ on Sunday Feb 12th with the premiere of the new television series, “Full Metal Jousting” on History Channel, which – by the way – debuted to great ratings. “FMJ” is produced for History Channel by Pilgrim Studios, the largest reality television production company in Los Angeles.

ZipCam Systems, the world leader in ultra-lightweight cable camera tracking systems for the production of feature films, commercials, and episodic television, provided its trademarked “ZipCam” cable cam system and crew for filming the entire first season of “Full Metal Jousting”,
shot on location in Jackson, Mississippi.

Those who love the drama and excitement of competition – and extreme sports enthusiasts – will enjoy the show; wherein modern day ‘knights’ in full armor compete for a $100,000 prize by mounting 2000 pound war horses and slamming into each other at 30 miles per hour.

ZipCam Systems’ president and technical director, Ben Semanoff, said: “You can see our wire cam shots used throughout the competition.” He adds: “We had been looking to shoot with our newest cable cam on an action-packed television show like ‘FMJ’. We knew ZipCam would be a great match with respect to our system’s ability to deliver heavy duty reliability and high performance results in a remarkably compact and budget friendly package.”

It is this unique combination of safety, function, and performance characteristics – plus the ability to accept a wide range of film and digital cameras – that makes the ZipCam cable dolly the perfect choice for many productions. ZipCam Systems’ philosophy is to keep things simple while providing the uncompromised features and results that professionals depend on for great cable cam shots. And this can save productions a lot of time and money.

ZipCam will ‘make history’ again this Sunday night at 10/9c on History Channel, in episode # 2 of “Full Metal Jousting”.
