Rigging and timingsoperations
Rigging

Fifteen minutes with two crew, plus track time. Column and base split for transport and the base case is 64 × 64 × 37 cm, so it clears standard doorways.

Site requirementsbefore confirming
Requirements

Nothing special underfoot: the base takes 1,000 kg and the column 800 kg retracted. A 48 V battery good for 150 column moves, or 110/220 V mains. Track gauge adjusts from 36 to 62 cm, which is what gets it down corridors.

What the service includes
Included

Dolly, column, boards, seat, levelling kit and a dolly grip if production needs one.

When to choose this kit
Criteria

When the shot needs long vertical travel: 150 cm of lift and platform height up to 2.72 m. For a flat, simple tracking move the Albatross is quieter and faster to rig.
