TECHNODOLLY 15 & 25

AVAILABLE TO HIRE WITH OUR STUDIO OR ON LOCATION

WHAT IS IT?

The TechnoDolly is completely unique. A fully repeatable camera crane and all axis motion control rig in one. Although it looks like a SuperTechnoCrane, every axis is evaluated and is fully repeatable. Use it on main unit productions as a camera crane and at the click of a button repeat the move instantly. Or for smaller crews and motion control work, simply program keyframes or input 3D moves from your VFX department and watch it fly, like a camera crane, from keyframe to keyframe in a way that looks like it’s being operated by a human – rather than a robot. 

There are two variants of TechnoDolly. The traditional and known 15ft and the new 25ft.

In a nutshell:  

  • Multi-axis repeatable camera crane with motion control functionality including FBX import
  • Studio or Location operation – requires 63A of power preferably over 5x16A ceeform connectors
  • Custom built lowloader box van for transport – no tachograph required for flexible delivery and collection to suit production
  • The TechnoDolly 15ft is off the van and setup in under an hour without track and normally 90-120 minutes including track (at ground level). Allow an additional 90 minutes for TechnoDolly 25
