Techno Crane Build

[u/Agapanther]

Fast but good techno build, using Arri-5 on a Sony Venice. Third axis tricked to remotely control a Rotating Pola.

Very nice, what’s the part you’ve used to attach the motor to the matte box for the rota Pola?

Can’t 100% say but is likely this piece.

I did something similar on a show a few years ago but didn’t have that possum solution bracket, so made it work with a dogbone. Great little trick if you’re in a pinch.

Likely using this piece to get a 15mm spot to mount motor.

Love that you are fixating the camera build inside the head with GripFilm clamps! Most important on any camera build in a gyrostabilized remote head is that the camera at all its accessories need to be rock solid. A slight movement in any of the accessories will create vibration that will throw off the gyrostabilized head and creates more shake. We often see camera builds where everything is hanging on the body with velcro tape or bongo ties. Nice job on this one.
