The camera crane is a specialized device for lifting an operator with a television camera and a film camera. It is necessary in order to ensure the movement of the camera in the horizontal and vertical planes. Camera cranes at times increase the expressiveness of the image of a TV show or movie. It is worth noting that this device does not belong to the main, but to auxiliary camera equipment, which is designed for beautiful shooting in motion.
Varieties
All operator cranes can be divided into three types: large, medium and small. One of the first was a device for video filming, which involved raising the camera along with an assistant. Due to the need for human safety and the large lifting capacity, some restrictions were placed on the range of movement of the boom. Today, such a type of camera crane as a remote-controlled tripod crane is gaining more and more popularity. This device allows you to carry only a television camera or film camera on the boom withoutparticipation of an assistant or operator from hard-to-reach points, as it has a small carrying capacity, providing relative freedom of movement. The specialist can observe the movements of the device on the monitor thanks to video monitoring and remote control, as well as thanks to the panoramic head. In a separate category is a telescopic operator crane. It allows you to get rid of the radial displacement during the "flights" over the scene, and can also set the trajectory of the camera.
Device
Truck cranes and small camera cranes are light in design, but, unfortunately, do not have a mechanical drive. When using such mechanisms, it is necessary to balance the load with a special counterweight tuned to facilitate manipulation. They must be managed manually. A crane master is a person who knows how to mount a camera crane, as well as install a television camera and a film camera. He takes responsibility for safety on set. In order to increase the convenience of work, the axes of rotation of the boom of the operator's crane are equipped with pointers and limbs. There are cases when, in order to give the camera greater mobility, the camera trolley is mounted on a crane. In modern cinema, you can also see robotic mechanisms that repeat the movements of the camera with high accuracy.
Producers
Most recently, only large studios used camera crane for video filming. BUTtoday, with the advent of cheap and lightweight designs, these devices have become available even to videographers, not to mention independent film producers. Cambo, ABC-Products, Cinema Technologies, Polecam, Filmotechnic, Matthews Studio Equipment and Panther can be considered the main and main manufacturers of cranes.
The operator's crane is a versatile device that greatly expands the capabilities of any operator.
