Description
Of the many camera movement technologies on the market today, the Technocrane is easily one of the most versatile and powerful.
The camera is mounted on the remote head on the end of the crane and is moved by a camera operator at a control desk.
The Technocrane can telescope at different speeds controlled by the operator. It allows camera moves that cannot be achieved using a jib arm and dolly,[1] and the telescoping can be used to compensate for the camera moving in an arc called “arc compensation”. Scorpio Technocranes by the manufacturers: Service Vision based in Barcelona, Spain for example: can be programmed to be engaged to remove the natural arc by adjusting the telescoping arm to do a straight dolly move at a much quicker setup than a traditional dolly and track.
