CRANE
Add dynamics
Gyroscopically stabilized, remotely controlled BLACK UNICORN crane is designed to solve a huge range of complex operator’s tasks when shooting moving or stationary objects. Due to high precision and ease of use combined with powerful characteristic, it adds dynamics to every scene.
light & agile
Remotely controlled Black Unicorn crane can operatey any panoramic gyroscopically stabilized camera platforms weighing up to 60 kg. Black Unicorn crane is light and agile and therefore it allows shooting at a carrier speed of over 160 km/h on the road and 90 km/h off roads. The remote control is placed inside the cabin of the vehicle.
