The Scopic20 is a compact, telescopic camera crane engineered for precise, repeatable motion and efficient operation. Its mass distribution and counterbalance strategy are carefully tuned to deliver consistent inertia across the full telescopic range, resulting in smooth, predictable movement relative to its size and overall weight.

​

Primary counterbalance is achieved through a fixed rear-weight configuration, with a limited number of transport weights used to compensate for telescopic extension. This approach minimizes changes in arm behavior as the telescope extends or retracts, maintaining uniform handling characteristics throughout operation.

​

The arm assembly can be removed when required, and integrated lifting hoists are provided to ensure safe handling during setup and breakdown. This eliminates the need for manual lifting and reduces physical strain on crew during configuration changes.

​

The Scopic20 is transported fully assembled in a dedicated 16-foot Isuzu box truck equipped with a liftgate. On set, deployment consists primarily of installing counterweights and the stabilized head, allowing the system to be brought into operation quickly. The base is electrically powered and features four-way leveling for efficient positioning.

​

The center post is supported by an air-piston system, raised by a compact onboard air compressor. This air-ride configuration provides controlled vertical compliance and is particularly advantageous for camera car applications, where vibration isolation and ride quality are critical.
