Drivers Resume
Prior to UltraArmSF, if a production needed a camera car in Northern California, the only option was to bring it up from Los Angeles. The added expense of traveling a car and its crew often forced productions to revise their concepts, or use an inferior method to cover car to car scenes.
So, Patrick and Robert thought it was time for a camera car company to be established that would serve Northern California and the Bay Area. In 2019 UltraArmSF was formed. Our camera car utilizes new technologies that have transformed the camera car industry and a team that has been working together in the industry for more than 30 years.
We are a camera car company. It's what we do!
