Description

The MovieBird® 12 VertiCrane is based on our standard MB12 MiniBird: a lightweight and agile two-section telescopic camera crane. It’s small size and robust construction make it a versatile crane capable of being mounted on a number of platforms including the all new MiniBird scissor dolly, a heavy duty camera dolly, an electric camera car etc. The crane features novel triangular cross section with an innovative three-point guide rail system which, together with extruded aluminum sections make it a highly stable and robust platform capable of withstanding stresses and shocks while moving on a vehicle. It can be powered with a standard 48V battery pack or 110-240V AC (using an included AC/DC power supply unit).

The MovieBird® 12 VertiCrane also features a new levelling head with over-slung and under-slung capability, buttons for adjustable level offset and optional Gyroscopic Levelling Add-on [GLA]. The optional all-new MiniBird scissor dolly with folding arms allows to change the width for different track systems. In its most compact configuration it allows to move the crane through small office doors (0,8m).
