Looking for bigger, smoother or more creative camera movements without the size and cost of a full-scale Technocrane?

Let us introduce you to the  Proaim Powermatic Scissor Pro 5.2M Telescopic Crane and the QF Telescope 6M Crane

At Moonshine Film, we're making professional crane shots more accessible with a new range of compact, lightweight camera cranes designed to deliver sophisticated, controlled camera movement without the size, logistics and cost traditionally associated with much larger crane systems.

The perfect equipment for commercials, music videos, feature films, branded content, automotive campaigns, VFX sequences or studio productions. Moonshine Film can provide the crane, camera package and experienced crew needed to achieve the shot.

Our new crane service includes two powerful telescopic systems:

Proaim Powermatic Scissor Pro 5.2M Telescopic Crane

QF Telescope 6M Crane

Both systems offer filmmakers significantly more creative movement than a conventional jib, while remaining practical for studios, locations and productions.

Affordable Camera Crane Hire Without Compromising Creative Movement

A crane can completely change the visual language of a shot.

The challenge has traditionally been that sophisticated crane systems can be expensive, large and logistically demanding.

These compact telescopic cranes provide:

Long camera reach

Motorised telescopic movement

Remote operation

Smooth, repeatable camera moves

Compatibility with professional cinema cameras

3-axis gimbal and remote-head configurations

Dolly and track-based movement

Experienced crane and camera crew

Complete camera packages when required

The result is a professional camera movement solution that can be tailored to the production rather than forcing the production to work around a huge crane.

Lets break them down:

Proaim Powermatic Scissor Pro 5.2M Telescopic Crane Hire

For productions looking for a compact motorised camera crane in London or the UK, the Proaim Powermatic Scissor Pro offers an impressive combination of reach, portability and control.

With up to 5.2m / 17ft of telescopic reach and a 15kg / 33lb payload, the system is designed to accommodate professional camera configurations and compatible 3-axis motorised gimbals.

Its powered scissor mechanism allows the arm to extend and retract remotely, making it possible to create controlled push-in, pull-out, high-angle and low-angle camera movements with a high degree of repeatability.

The crane operates from a V-Mount battery, making it practical for location-based production.

15kg Payload for Professional Camera Packages

With a maximum payload of 15kg / 33lb, the Powermatic Scissor Pro can accommodate a range of professional cinema-camera configurations and compatible 3-axis gimbals.

Moonshine can also build the crane around your existing or hired camera package, including cameras, lenses, gimbals, monitoring and wireless video.

 

QF Telescope 6M Crane Hire London & UK

For larger and more complex camera movements, the QF Telescope 6M Crane provides a substantial increase in reach and payload capacity.

With almost 6m of overall arm length and approximately 3.1m of telescopic travel, the QF Telescope combines a telescopic crane arm with a dolly base, riser and motorised remote head.

This creates a flexible camera movement system capable of combining several axes of movement within one setup.

Telescopic Crane + Dolly Movement

One of the major advantages of the QF Telescope is its ability to combine crane movement with dolly travel.

When configured on track, the system can combine:

Dolly travel + telescopic extension + pan + tilt + lift + rotation

This opens up considerably more possibilities than a conventional fixed jib or basic camera crane.

This makes the QF Telescope particularly interesting for productions where repeatable camera movement is important.

Motorised Remote Head

The QF Telescope is paired with a motorised remote head, allowing the camera head to be operated independently from the crane.

This creates a two-operator workflow:

Crane Operator
Controls the crane, telescopic movement and overall arm positioning.

Head Operator
Controls the motorised remote head and camera framing.

Separating these functions gives the operators greater control over complex camera movements and allows the system to achieve the kind of coordinated movement normally associated with larger professional crane systems.

25kg Payload

The QF Telescope has a specified maximum payload of 25kg, providing capacity for substantial professional cinema-camera configurations and remote heads.

Actual operating speed and configuration will depend on the camera package, payload and requirements of the shot.Which Camera Crane Is Right for Your Production?
