The latest customised tracking
vehicle in our fleet is our customised
Audi A3 F. What does the F stand
for? FAST! This high-powered, highly
maneuverable camera tracking car
is as stealthy as it looks, but the A3 F
is not for show, it’s pact with
outstanding features.
Finished in a bespoke matte black to
reduce reflections, the A3 F size
makes it nimble and discrete. The
perfect tool for general tracking
shots or high speed work. The A3 F
can do the work of larger, less maneuverable vehicles where the height of the
vehicle can be an issue.
The A3 F is quick off the mark to, even fully loaded, but speed is not the only thing
that makes this an outstanding camera tracking vehicle.

The A3 F can accommodate more than one camera at a time, thanks to it’s
specially designed aluminum exo-frame. You can place a camera almost
anywhere, front or back or on each side of the car.
For great tracking results the A3 F can be supplied with the Chapman vibration
isolator and the Chapman G3 remote head. See the pictures below for an idea of
the kind of configurations the A3 F has used to date. When combined with the
Chapman UK Vertical Slider System, camera height can be changed in shot whilst
the vehicles is moving a unique feature for a tracking vehicle.
The list of features doesn’t end there though. For rear facing tracking shots, to
prevent fumes getting ‘in shot’ the exhaust can be re-directed away from the rear
facing camera.
Unique to the A3 F is a fully adjustable seating position, with safety harness, for a
camera operator. The operators seat can be configured to face forward or
backwards. Video cables are managed through a specially designed plug in the
rear of the roof, for all weather filming and safe operation.
The A3 F combines swift acceleration with smooth operation thanks to the Audi’s
whisper quiet 3.2ltre V6 petrol engine. The car is fitted with Audi’s DSG, twin clutch,
automatic gearbox ensuring seamless gear changes even at high revs. The A3 F is
powerful for coping with the additional weight of multiple cameras, yet stable
under cornering at speed.

it for yourself! To discuss your individual vehicle tracking needs, call Chapman UK
