TELESCOPIC CRANES

 

Alpha Omega Crane

The Alpha Omega Crane (Moviebird 44) still retains the principles of a telescopic crane system, designed and built to offer limitless creative possibilities, to reach the most inaccessible places, to manoeuvre in the tightest of corners, telescoping in and out silently for that shot at a moments notice, but there is much more.

The Millennium Crane Belt System has been developed with many unique and ingenious features: A telescopic crane that runs faster & quieter. The belt system ensures that even in the most dangerous crowd scenes there is no risk of injury caused by breaking cables.

A telescopic crane arm that is lighter and more rigid keeping the arm steady for those long lens shots. A telescopic crane system that takes less time to set up but is operationally more health & safety conscious. A telescopic crane system that is affordable for all types of TV and Film productions.
