The Orbiter 500 ultraflat was designed for very critical camera positions such as the centre pitch camera at soccer. Between the coaches and close to the fourth referee space is limited and views have to be unrestricted. This is accomplished by the Orbiter 500 ultraflat, the camera seat with the lowest shot worldwide. This permits to place it almost everywhere without interferring with anybody working close to it. During the FIFA soccer world cup 2006 in Germany it was applied by HBS exclusively at all centre pitch positions in every stadium during all matches.

At soccer matches it can be used at all camera positions close to the pitch. At tennis broadcasts it comes in handy if positioned close to the net and at athletics it is often used at the end of jump discipline areas. The Orbiter provides a range of more than 360° for the operator in an extremely low sitting working position and it allows trouble-free movement due to its central cable feeding. The Orbiter allows independent movement of camera and seat. Horizontal pan and movement of the seat are not linked but on the same axis.

Steady pictures are achieved by the Orbiter‘s new and patented design.
Contrary to other low shooters the seat is not directly connected to the camera column. This means no shock motions are transmitted from the operator to the camera.

Take advantage of the comfortable and softrunning Orbiter to create excellent and dynamic pictures without interferring with the views of spectators, referees and coaches.

Working ergonomically allows maintaining and improving the quality of your pictures, as concentration does not weaken.
