3D Flying Broadcast Solutions

Graham Terrell as part owner in the company Film Riggers along with business partner Alard Hufner has put together a first for South Africa. The 3D Cable Camera System known as Top Shot Africa or www.TopShot.Africa may have been seen a few at events around the country.
