Sony's custom camera captures realistic F1 racing scenes

Sony developed a custom, ultra-compact camera system for the F1 movie, enabling realistic in-car racing shots. The camera, a miniaturized version of Sony's Venice Extension System (Rialto), was engineered to withstand extreme G-forces and vibrations within F1 cars, fitting even under the driver's halo. This bespoke technology, developed in under four months, allows for remote control and has already been used in other major productions, showcasing Hollywood's trend towards specialized filmmaking equipment.
