Behind the scenes

As part of a cooperation between bebob and the RheinMain Hochschule, students from the Media Management degree programme under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andrea Gschwendtner worked for over a year on a short film for bebob's new B-Mount range. Many creative ideas were illustrated with short clips, for one of which a detailed storyboard was finally developed - and this was professionally realised in winter and spring by Shaolin Tran and his team. Now we can officially present it on our website - and say thank you very much for the great work! About the film project: As part of the coo...Read More

Botswana in southern Africa: Still over 130,000 elephants live here. An ideal place to observe the life of the grey giants. The Hamburg biologists and animal filmmakers Jens Westphalen and Thoralf Grospitz did this for one year. In the midst of the giants, they filmed their lives at close quarters. In their search for rechargeable batteries that could guarantee an uninterrupted power supply for their Sony F55 camera with Canon HJ 18x28 lens even under extreme outdoor conditions, the experienced film producers decided on our bebob V98.  These can be easily transported to Africa by plane...Read More

About a year ago we met the Polish cameraman and producer Łukasz Glewicz on Instagram. He is a big bebob fan - and we are a big fan of his creative work! Therefore we would like to dedicate this blog post to him... What drives Łukasz: "I gave up my boring job at a company to do what I've always loved - filming. It's been my passion since my earliest childhood. At the beginning of my professional career, I lacked the prerequisites to pursue this profession. Working at the bank gave me financial stability, but it never satisfied me. With patience and a strong will, I finally got into f...Read More

In mid-February we got a call from Johannes Olszewski, director and filmmaker at One Inch Dreams, a creative agency and film production company from Rosenheim, Germany, which is dedicated to slacklining.

This time a package of our V98 together with a VS4 charger went to Tanna Island in the far away island state of Vanuatu (southwest Pacific). The mission: To set a world record in slacklining over an active volcano -...Read More

There are many sports that are supported by the international or European blind sports associations - box...Read More

In the summer of 2018, the whole world held its breath when a young football team and their coach were trapped in a Thai cave, Tham Luang Nang Non, by a sudden flood. Their chances of survival seemed very slim due to the complicated local conditions - but after nine days, divers actually managed to rescue the boys and their coach. A few months later, work began on an ambitious film project led by Mallinson Sadler Productions. For the National Geographic series "Drain the Oceans" a documentary of the rescue was to be shot, together with a 3D laser scan survey of the cave. Please read GBCT...Read More
