Dale Henderson of FluidMotion® was the first steadicam operator to customise a steadicam rig specific for water work. The Fluid Motion® Seadoo Water Rig is one of a kind, exclusive to Australia, the rig has revolutionised filming on the water. This unit is a World first in Steadicam production and is also the only one in the world to date! It is unique in the fact that Dale can film in crashing waves, Lakes, Rivers, Bays etc, anywhere on the water and all in one steady continuous shot without the use of Gyros. This complete unit has the advantage to get into places that boats and helicopters can not access freely, because of weather constraints. The Water Steadicam along with the GTX4 Tech Supercharged Seadoo platform were designed for the sole purpose of filming any water sports possible, being able to access hard to get to locations on water at a moments notice.

The Fluid Motion® 360 Degree Polaris ATV is a 6X6 All Terrain Steadicam platform which was designed for the sole purpose of gaining access to hard to get to locations at a moments notice. This model of Steadicam has the unique ability to freely spin 360 degrees in any direction while filming, and all the while following the action. It is the only device of its kind in the world and has the ability to travel from snow to sand to bitumen all in one action. No setting up of dollies or jibs which take up valuable time to reset shots.
