The Scopic20 is a well-balanced telescopic camera crane designed for precise, controlled moves. It is well suited for interior locations, stages, and camera car applications.
​
Operated by a single person, the Scopic20 integrates both arm movement and telescopic action, making it an effective choice when a small footprint and minimal crew support are required.
Project filmed in one day entirely on the Scopic20.

PowerScopic
The PowerScopic is a technocrane-style telescopic camera crane designed for exterior production and large studio applications. Its open truss arm allows wind to pass through the structure, improving stability in outdoor environments.
Despite its size and reach, the PowerScopic is engineered for efficient handling, offering greater ease of operation than many cranes significantly smaller in scale.

Movi XL
The MoVI XL is a large-format stabilized remote head compatible with both the PowerScopic and Scopic20 telescopic camera cranes. Its comparatively low mass is well suited to telescopic crane applications while maintaining the capacity to support large-format cameras and lenses.
​
Targeted modifications have been made to the system to improve performance and reliability in crane-based operation.
​
The operator interface is configurable using either standard Nodo wheels or a pan-bar control arrangement.
​
In practical use, the MoVI XL provides image stability and operational capability comparable to other large-format stabilized heads, while requiring less manpower and lower overall cost.
Versa-Table
Camera/prop rotation
The Versatable is a computer-controlled motion platform capable of synchronized rotational and linear movement. Independent axes including table rotation, a mechanized slider, and an overhead lighting rotator can be coordinated and pre-programmed for precise, repeatable motion control.
​
The system is built around an all-steel turntable assembly with heavy-duty bearings and a high-torque servo motor, providing the rigidity and durability required for high-load, production-grade applications.
