Doggicam Systems was started in 1996 by veteran cinematographer Gary Thieltges to develop new tools to achieve shots previously not seen.  Since that time Doggicam has developed over a dozen unique products that have made a major impact in the motion picture industry. One of the very first new products developed was The Bodymount.   Since 1997 The Bodymount has done over 2000 jobs while mounted to hundreds of the most well know actors and performers in the world.  In 2004 The Society of Camera Operators recognized the valuable contribution The Bodymount has made to the motion picture industry by awarding their prestigious Technical Achievement Award to The Bodymount.  Since that time the system has been refined and expanded upon to become the go-to system in the world for mounting cameras to the person being photographed.  People have skied down mountains, jumped on trampolines, boxed, played football, and bunji jumped off the highest bridge in New Zealand while wearing The Bodymount. 

The phrase “Bodymount shot” has become part of the modern lexicon of the motion picture industry.  On the east coast, the phrase Snorri cam has become popular to describe the concept of mounting a camera to a person.  The Bodymount has been used to deliver unique shots for feature films and commercials in every major film market around the world, all coming from the Doggicam offices in Burbank California.  Arm mounts, leg mounts and helmets  for POV shots have been added to the system.  To mount the camera anywhere around the subject and to hold the position securely in all situations, The Bodymount is the total solution to achieving your desired shots.

In 2005 the Sparrow Head was awarded the Academy Award for technical achievement.  Other unique products developed by Doggicam include the Power Slide, The Super Slide, The HD Dolly and MoCap digital repeatable motion system.
