The Russian Arm is the most efficient and functional robotic arm on the market. It can be used on our all equipped Mercedes ML63 or any other moving platform (vehicle, boat, etc.). Already gyro-stabilized on two axis (pan and tilt), the arm comes with the 3 axis gyro-stabilized Flight Head V. This combination eliminates all jolts and vibrations. This way, it provides to the film crew the possibility to capture very dynamics images, close to the subject, with perfect horizon and a very fluid result. Depending on the version of the arm (V or VI), it can produce a 360° pan in 4.5sec, with an arm offset up to 7.60m on it horizontal position and from -4.10m to 6.60m on the vertical axis for the Russian Arm VI. The Flight Head is operated via joysticks or cranks from inside the vehicle. It can be used for digital cinema or broadcast.
The Russian Arm is mostly used on a camera car prepared for this purpose (Mercedes ML, Porsche Cayenne…) that can carry 5 to 6 people and is covered with a matte black paint avoiding unwanted reflections. It is equipped with an integrated video system.
To be closer to your filming locations, we operate equipment based all over the world: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, Budapest and Cape Town.
