Like a Technocrane you mean? The distance it traveled looked far too far for that. Also I'd have thought the wires of a "spidercam" would have got in the way, as it went very low, and was surrounded at one point by performers on the stage.
I need to find the bit on the ITV player thing where it's in shot!
Edit: Can't be bothered. Can't remember if I saw it on Saturday or Sunday and it makes you watch all the ad breaks! Life's too short. Anyway if you watch Sunday's episode you can see a shot from it fairly early on in the group number.

Greg Scott has a picture on his Facebook profile of the Spidercam being in use last year - the picture suggests it can go quite low.

The individual shots with the spidercam, etc were great, but it all felt a bit disjointed and lacked fluidity. SVT nails it every year with Melodifestivalen. There is constant movement rather than cutting from a moving spidercam shot to a static camera shot.

This is the shot I was talking about is here.
This image may give a better idea of how it works:

Ah ok, thanks for the info guys. It looked great.
I still can't quite picture in my mind how it works in only 2 dimensions though! Has anyone got a direct link to this Facebook picture?
