I was extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to work at the 2024 Olympic Games. I worked as both a technician and operator, at both the opening ceremony in Paris as well as the Sailing in Marseille.

Gimbal operator and technician on FIM World Superbike Championship

I was privileged to be involved as a gimbal technician on AC37 in Barcelona, rigging and teching Helicopters and boats involved in the 3 month long event, including the all new hydrogen powered Chase Zero camera boat.

I was proud to be involved with AC36 as a gimbal technician for both boats and helicopters in Auckland in 2021.

This was a fun one. Filming with a Shotover F1 from the back of a Ute in Outback Australia was one of my favourites to date. Check out the rig in the gallery.

I'm extremely proud and fortunate to have delivered a new gimbal to and trained some of the team who delivered this incredible series. I spent some time with them in Kenya, on the Maasai Mara, rigging their vehicle, gimbal and suspension arm, and even shooting some content while I was there.
