PowerScopic
The PowerScopic is a heavy-duty, steel-constructed telescopic camera crane designed for exterior production and large-scale studio applications. Its open truss arm architecture allows wind to pass through the structure, reducing wind load and improving controllability in outdoor environments.
The crane base is designed for rapid deployment and precise positioning. Integrated hydraulic leveling allows the system to be brought into operating position quickly, while a motorized base enables fine positioning without additional manpower. This configuration improves efficiency during setup and repositioning, particularly in exterior locations.
Telescopic movement is driven by a single master hydraulic actuator, providing smooth, quiet, and highly reliable extension and retraction. The hydraulic system is well suited to variable weather conditions and sound-sensitive environments.
Hydraulic accumulators are recharged between takes in a manner similar to camera dolly systems. Recharging can be accomplished using available set power or an onboard 8000-watt generator mounted to the transport vehicle. In locations without external power, a gasoline-powered engine integrated into the crane base is capable of recharging the hydraulic system independently.
