Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Curt Oswald Schaller (born June 22, 1964 in Munich) is a German cinematographer, Steadicam operator and photographer. He is also the developer and designer of ARRI's camera stabilization systems: in 2025 he was awarded an Academy Award for the concept, design and development of the Trinity 2 system.^[1]^[2]

Career

In 1984 Schaller began training as a camera assistant and then as a cameraman at the Bavaria Studios.

After completing his training, he initially worked as a studio cameraman until he specialized in foreign documentaries in the early 1990s. From the mid-1990s, Curt O. Schaller worked as a cameraman in series productions and as a Steadicam operator in TV series, films, shows and documentaries.

At the end of the 1990s, Schaller used his experience as a cameraman and Steadicam operator and began to develop his own camera stabilization systems, which in 2001 became the artemis series from Sachtler / Vitec Videocom. The artemis series he developed was the world's first modular camera stabilization system when it was launched at the 2001 NAB Show in Las Vegas. In addition, the artemis HD systems were the first full HD camera stabilization systems in the world at the time.

In 2015, Curt O. Schaller developed the (artemis) Trinity system together with the engineer Roman Foltyn (it was the first camera stabilization system in the world to combine a mechanical stabilization system with an electronic one) and in April 2016 he moved with his entire artemis product portfolio from Sachtler / Vitec Videocom to [[Arri|ARRI] to drive the further development of the (artemis) Trinity systems as product manager for camera stabilization systems

In 2025, Curt O. Schaller was awarded the Academy Scientific and Engineering Award for the concept, design and development of the Trinity 2 system.^[3]^[4]
