WIRAL Cable Cam System Overview

From Manufacturer

Achieve smooth, sweeping motion shots without a dolly or track with the WIRAL Lite Cable Camera Motion System. The transport system consists of a camera transport unit, a Quickreel rope system, a remote control, a removable battery with charger, two end-stop clips, and a ball mount with a 1/4"-20 mounting thread.

The Quickreel system comes with 164' of UHMWPE lightweight yellow cable that allows the camera unit to clip on and slide along the length of the cable. The system comes with two end-stop safety clips that ensure the camera unit doesn't slide off the rope. The unit can incline up to 30° when attaching a camera weighing up to 7 oz.

The Wiral Lite has two control options: wireless remote and wireless smartphone app. The included wireless remote provides controls for adjusting speed, start/stop, modes such as time-lapse, electronic end-stop settings, and battery life indication. The Wiral LITE app provides the same remote features as the remote control to control speed, start/stop, and time-lapse, and additional features such as ping-pong back and forth motion and automatic follow mode to follow your subject without the need to actively control the unit. It features a quick and easy touch interface to control all the settings, motion, and features on both Android and iOS. The app also provides tutorial videos to guide you through different Wiral Lite techniques.

The removable battery that powers the camera unit provides approximately three hours of battery life, and a battery charger is also included. The unit comes with a built-in 1/4"-20 thread as well as a ball mount head with a 1/4"-20 thread to mount your camera.

WIRAL Cable Cam System Reviews

Works Brilliantly

Excellent cable system. Used it this week while in India on a story. The motion system does wiggle a bit unless the cable is pulled super-crazy tight.

Great addition to the camera bag

works great and lots of fun to use. Only negative so far is the battery. I used the Wiral for a few tries earlier this week and then put it away but when I went to use it yesterday the battery had zero power. The remote would not even register any power level and had to totally recharge. After last use I unplugged it from the system to see if that helps, time will tell. Other then that I think it will help me produce some exciting videos!!

What are the slowest and fastest speeds of travel ...

What are the slowest and fastest speeds of travel of the camera support mechanism? Is it silent?
Asked by: David
The slowest speed is in timelapse mode, where you can move as slow as 21 ft/h, and the fastest speed is 31 ft/s in sport mode. Wiral LITE has three speed modes: Timelapse, Normal and Sport. You can see more details about them here: https://support.wiralcam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018628072-Normal-Mode The sound from Wiral LITE is not noticeable on the camera mounted on the unit, but not at all disturbing for the surroundings like e.g. a drone would be.

Can this be made to shoot straight down with a smart phone?
Asked by: Kevin
Yes it can. You would just need a Smart Phone Mount that will allow you to point the camera straight down like the Square Jellyfish Jelly Grip Tripod Mount for Smartphones. https://bhpho.to/3ahpNxC

Does anyone else get a vibration which makes the footage very bad? using an osmo pocket the image is unusable. if I gently touch the unit while it's moving, it's a very noticeable vibration.
Asked by: DL
I have used mine for MTB riding multiple times with the GoPro Hero 9 and no major vibrations. I have noticed that having the cable a few wiggles and there, but very useable footage. Maybe the camera is the issue. Try another cam to recreate the issue. Also, look into vibration isolators.

Can this rig be "programmed" to go from A to B, then return to A, then travel to B over & over again on its own?
Asked by: David
Yes. Simple set your end stops to where you want the camera to stop at and set the Wiral to ping pong mode by turning the knob to the desired speed and pressing the play button on the Wiral remote. It will stay in this mode until you press play again or the battery dies.

Does my phone need to be near the set up the entirety of the Timelapse? The app seems to disconnect and then the lapse stops. Really frustrating
Asked by: Ben
The phone based app can not always maintain connection easily, so it is advised to use the wireless remote control when there is limited connection , when using the WIRAL Lite Cable Camera Motion System.

Does this have any pan/tilt built in for the camera? If I was to mount a GoPro to it can I turn the camera using the remote?
Asked by: Walter
The WIRAL Lite Cable Camera Motion System is not a motion control system, so there is no other motion other that its designated motion on the line.
