CAMERA
CRANE:
A camera crane is a nothing more than a really big jib
arm—usually with a seat for a camera operator to
ride in.
These
things are really expensive to rent, but they give you
spectacular shots. Interestingly, they are always manually
operated—there are no motors. The human touch is
smoother and more precise than any motor could be.
Typically,
cranes are mounted on the back of a truck.

This crane has room for a camera operator
AND a director. Thanks to expert counterweighting,
the operator, who stands in the back
of the truck, has fingertip control
over the speed and direction of the
crane arm.
