Equipment

UCRANE DYNAMIC

The U-crane Arm Dynamic (U-cD) is lightweight and compact, but powerful enough to go
high speed and work in most challenging conditions. It is capable of 360° pan, tilting up and down, allowing a wide range of impressively stable, smooth and very dynamic shots. The U-crane Arm Dynamic is operated via a joystick console from within a camera car.

U-crane Dynamic

Rigged on top of a powerful Porsche Macan and using a lighter arm than the standard U-crane (formerly known as Russian Arm/RAd) it provides you with high-level dynamic shots without compromises.

The U-crane does not use counter weights, so it is much smaller, lower, lighter and thus more versatile and agile than any other standard arm. It allows you to shoot under low bridges, in tunnels, in buildings and on narrow alley ways. Race tracks, curvy mountain roads and narrow streets are its favorite playgrounds.

The U-cD  loves high-speed car chases ! The U-cD will arrive to your shooting location already pre-rigged and is ready to shoot within 1,5 hours. We offer to set up/test your camera and lenses the day before the shoot. In this case we are ready to shoot within 15 minutes upon arrival at location of the shooting day.

Since the U-crane Dynamic is a “self-drive” system there are no limitations or restrictions for weekends in terms of travelling time. The Porsche Macan carries a small 2 mtr. trailer for additional equipment and tyres.  The U-crane Dynamic including FHm can also travel by air-cargo to any country in the world in only three cases (*see note below).
The light weight of the system allows you to put the U-cD on almost any car within 6hrs – ready to shoot.

*Cargo shipping instead of travelling as handluggage has the advantage of its lower costs, no risk to not board in time and no risk of damages caused by unprofessional handling during loading and unloading when it travels as hand luggage. Cargo handlers are more secure during loading.
