Full sentence:
"Es importante hacer una buena localización técnica para encontrar los mejores tiros de cámara, recorridos y fondos"
The document describes how a commercial is going to be shot and includes sequences of and from inside a helicopter. I'm not sure if "recorridos" is best translated as "sequenecs", "tracks" - or something else.
I'd also appreciate suggestions for "una buena localización técnica"

I think 'recorridos' refers to fixed pans or the movement along rails to give running pans. see wiki reference.

Discussion
Anyway, I'd be tempted to put "It is important to create/prepare a technically sound/good location..." as opposed to "a good technical location". IMO, my suggested wording emphasises that the location is good because of angles, natural lighting, lack of high buildings, etc. rather than a location that has good technological characteristics (easy access to power, helicopter pad nearby, etc.) which is what I believe the source is saying.
Best opening a second question and debate. ;)
vb (pans, panning, panned)
to move (a film camera) or (of a film camera) to be moved so as to follow a moving object or obtain a panoramic effect
