Ultimate Arm
The Ultimate Arm is the first Gyro-Stabilized Camera Crane of its kind. It is the most adaptable, weather-resistant, and reliable crane on the market.
With a flexible section built to absorb vibrations before they reach the image, the operator is guaranteed the smoothest shot and most stable image, even when using long lenses in off-road terrain.
The Ultimate Arm has been tested in the toughest of conditions, from Death Valley heat to below zero in the Arctic Circle of Alaska, without ever losing its ability to perform complete 360 degree movement (in less than five seconds) at high speeds.
If you are looking for flexibility with durability, the Ultimate Arm is a must for your next production. It fits with any Mitchell Mount Head in the industry, and comes equipped with quick-change extensions that can be retrofitted in minutes for high wide shots.
The Ultimate Arm can be mounted on boats, trains, cars, or whatever your visual sequence requires. The Ultimate Arm can be shipped all over the world and has been used by the finest crews in the film industry and part of some of the most exciting movie scenes; from the exhilarating Bat-Mobile sequence in 'Batman Begins' to the high-octane chase scenes in '007: Casino Royale and Skyfall'.
