Element Technica, LLC is a small company based in Los Angeles, California, that designs and manufactures equipment for motion imaging and related applications. Its approach centers on functional design, prioritizing modularity and weight reduction without sacrificing ruggedness. The team draws on extensive experience across Steadicam systems, stabilized aerial platforms, high-speed camera cars, deep-water marine work, 3D photography, and general-use first-unit photography, and contributes mechanical design solutions to organizations such as NASA's JPL and Lawrence Livermore National Labs.

Since collaborating with RED Digital Cinema on the RED One, Element Technica has focused on producing lightweight, robust solutions for filmmakers and camera operators who use RED equipment. The company maintains an open-shop approach, with regular visitors from the field testing gear, and is developing a demo area to allow customers to build a demonstration configuration with their camera or with the company's equipment. Founders Hector Ortega and Stephen Pizzo describe their collaboration as a long-running design and engineering partnership that informs the company's ongoing development.
