Scorpio 10’
The Scorpio 10’ is a two-part telescopic crane with tilt, pan, and arm encoder reading for high-quality motion capturing. The two-section arm is designed for operator flexibility and offers a universal fit to attach to any dolly. The maximum lens height is 15’4” overslung with a telescoping range of 7’7”, extending and retracting as fast as 6’ per second. The base width can adjust from 2’1” to 3’2” with a minimum door clearance of 5’8”. The full extended arm reach is 10’6,” and the retracted reach is 2’11”. The overall arm length extended is 14’4”.
The Scorpio 10’ has two different operation modes: electronic and manual. The default electronic mode allows telescopic electronic movement, powering the crane by batteries and warranting high precision, smooth footage in low and high-speed movements. The manual mode gives control to the Camera Operator to move the telescopic arm and create unique shots that match their vision.
One of the unique features of the Scorpio 10 is the “Arc compensation,” which automatically corrects the arc generated by motion, both in horizontal and vertical movement, keeping the camera line straight. Additionally, the Scorpio 10 features back panning through the system’s advanced software capabilities. This crane has added value to the creative vision of filmmakers for years while also adding production value and extended functionality to those behind the camera
