In the year since SHOTOVER and Churchill Navigation merged, Brad Hurndell and I have worked together to ensure the new, combined SHOTOVER Systems is stronger and more innovative than ever. 

With SHOTOVER's change in leadership that came a year ago, we also began a process of ensuring continuity as our company evolves. While Brad Hurndell has recently departed SHOTOVER, the vision, the knowledge base and the team dedicated to unrivaled level of service remains, so you can rest assured that we are in an excellent position to continue supporting your needs.

Our VP of Gimbal Sales, Gordon Barry, will continue providing advice related to our products and services. Charlie Dowson Park, Aziel Mohammed, Nick Sprague and the rest of the worldwide support staff will continue ensuring all SHOTOVER products perform well. And our electrical, mechanical, and software engineering teams – all of which have grown substantially – are hard at work designing the next generation of products for the creative industry, while also enabling customers to recognize additional revenue by pursuing work in the utility, firefighting, and other markets.


The results of this effort will be on full display at this year’s NAB show:

  • A gimbal simulator that will allow operators the ability to develop proficiency while training on the ground in a realistic environment as well as conduct pre-flight rehearsals
  • Advanced motion control capabilities that will enable more sophisticated creative possibilities
  • Beacons that can be attached to anything to enable automatic camera following
  • Real-time augmented reality graphics that work seamlessly with SHOTOVER gimbals
  • And much more

These new capabilities are largely driven by software – and software, unlike hardware, can easily be upgraded at no cost – meaning even more goodness is yet to come.

Best wishes,
