Technocrane used for filming a Visa Black Card commercial in 2010[1]
Technocrane is a telescopic camera crane widely utilised in the film industry and in television production. Originally commissioned, manufactured, named and marketed by Technovision Ltd. in London, United Kingdom, the first TechnoCrane was exhibited by Technovision during Photokina Expo in Cologne, Germany in September 1986.
Today, TechnoCrane derivatives are available from several different manufacturers, such SuperTechno, MovieBird, Servicevision among others, and come in many different sizes and various specifications, from 10 feet (3.0 m) to 100 feet (30 m).
The camera is mounted on the remote head on the end of the crane and is remote controlled by a camera operator at a control desk. The Technocrane can telescope at variable speeds on demand. It allows camera moves that cannot be achieved using a jib arm crane and camera dolly,[2] and the telescoping can be used to compensate for the camera moving in an arc called "arc compensation".[3]
