Polecam Starter Pack with Wide Head

Polecam Starter Pack with Wide Head

The Polecam system uses Carbon Fibre tubes that slot together to create a reach from 1.5m (5’) to 8 m (26’). The System is designed around a modular aluminium ‘backend’. A precision electronic, remote controlled, Pan/Tilt head fits to the carbon poles creating a simple yet effective Camera Crane, the Starter Pack is an entry level system that allows you to build a crane to suit your needs. Whether you want to shoot from the back of a car, on a boat or the edge of a Mountain, the Polecam System gets into tight spots where a traditional crane would be out of the question. The Polecam camera Crane System simply adds superb value to any production.

There are three different pan & tilt heads to choose from when selecting your Polecam Starter Pack

The Narrow Head version is ideal for minicams and split head cameras such as the Toshiba IK-HD1
The Wide Head is designed for D-SLR use and is also great for 3D with two mini cams side by side using our optional 3D mounting plate, Blackmagic’s Cinema Camera or the Microbe Mini Mirror Rig
The Long Head is designed to cater for cameras such as the Canon C300/500, Blackmagic & the AF101 from Panasonic

These heads are designed to double as a fi xed remote head by simply unscrewing the Polecam drop arm, removing a small plate and attaching it to the top of the head. This reveals an industry standard 3/8” threaded hole. You can mount the inverted head on a clamp, stand or similar bracket then hook up the joystick, plug in some power, connect the video and away you go.
