Orbiter is a brand of camera seat used by broadcast camera operators that swivels at a low working height. Another term used is "low shooter." The Orbiter low shooter is characterized by a partial separation of the camera section (mount) and the movable/swivelling seat ensuring the natural vibrations, caused by the camera operator, is absorbed by the swivel seat to a large extent. The Orbiter project was founded in 2002 and initially supported by the European Union and European Regional Development Fund. The Orbiter system was used exclusively at the UEFA European Championships in 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020, as well as at the FIFA World and Confederations Cups of 2005, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2014, and 2018. The Orbiter 500 Spaceshooter is a model for videotaping spacecraft launches and aerial activity.
