Camera Corps, a specialist in the provision of remote camera solutions, was established in 1990. The company originated to meet the growing demand for unique camera angles in broadcast television, a niche that founder Laurie Frost had significant experience in. Frost's background as a cameraman provided him with firsthand knowledge of the creative and technical challenges in capturing dynamic live event footage, which became the foundational expertise of the company.
The business operates as a rental and service provider, supplying specialty camera systems and skilled technicians to broadcasters, outside broadcast companies, and production firms. Its market is global, with a strong presence in major sporting events, reality television shows, and large-scale entertainment productions. The revenue model is primarily based on the rental of its proprietary and third-party camera equipment, coupled with service fees for the operational crew required to install, manage, and execute the complex camera setups.
Camera Corps offers a range of products including robotic heads, track systems, and miniature cameras. A key offering is the Q-Ball, a compact, robotic camera system that can be placed in discreet locations to capture high-definition footage. These systems are engineered for reliability and high performance in live, often challenging, environments. The company's value proposition lies in its ability to deliver unconventional perspectives, such as on-board cameras in race cars or rail-mounted systems running alongside athletic tracks, enhancing the viewer experience. Following its acquisition by Vitec Group plc (now Videndum plc), Camera Corps was integrated with another Vitec-owned entity, Bexel. In 2018, the Camera Corps brand was consolidated under the name of a sister company, Fletcher, to form Fletcher Camera & Lenses. Despite these corporate changes, the original operational focus on specialized camera services continues.
