Orbiter with a camera operator.

An Orbiter is a camera seat used by broadcast camera operators that swivels at a low working height. Another term used is "low shooter."^{[citation needed]}

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.^{[citation needed]}

The Orbiter project was founded in 2002 and initially supported by the European Union and European Regional Development Fund.^[1] 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.^{[citation needed]}

Since 2011, Orbiter.tv has been developing a customised version for videotaping spacecraft launches by Arianespace in French Guiana, and for NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center handling simultaneously a number of different camera types including high speed cameras for analysis.^{[citation needed]}
