MotoCrane Ultra vehicle-mounted arm

The MotoCrane Ultra remote crane arm, mountable on four rigged vehicles and on our vessel.

The MotoCrane Ultra turns a production vehicle into a camera car with a stabilized arm. It mounts on the roof with a dedicated frame and delivers moving shots with the camera outside the vehicle envelope. We also rig it on our boat for water work.

When to choose this kit
Criteria

Chases, road tracking and shots from a moving vehicle. If the picture vehicle has to appear in frame with the actor inside, this is not the answer — the low loader is.
