SUPER TECHNOCRANE ST30

The SuperTechno 30 (ST30) is a gold-standard telescopic camera crane designed for high-end film and broadcast productions. It bridges the gap between smaller location cranes and massive studio rigs, offering a 30-foot reach while remaining compact enough for indoor sets with high ceilings. The ST30 is renowned for its smooth, motor-driven telescopic arm that allows for complex, linear camera moves without the need to move the entire dolly base. It is often paired with the Z-Head to provide full pan, tilt, and roll control.

Key Features:

Telescopic Precision: The motor-driven arm extends from 8’10” to 31’4″, allowing for seamless “straight-in” and “straight-out” shots that fixed cranes simply cannot achieve.
High-Speed Extension: With a “Speed-box” upgrade, the arm can travel at up to 9.19 ft/s (2.8 m/s), providing the responsiveness needed to track high-speed vehicles or athletes.
Versatile Clearance: Its compact chassis is designed to fit through standard double doors (approx. 4’6″ W x 6’11” H), enabling you to bring a high-reach crane into tight interior locations.
Virtual Production Ready: The crane is fully encodable, meaning it can output real-time tracking data for AR, VR, and Unreal Engine environments, ensuring digital backgrounds align perfectly with camera moves.
Heavy Payload Support: Even at its maximum 30′ lens height, it supports up to 130 lbs (59 kg), making it stable enough for complex 3D rigs, IMAX, and large-format digital cameras.
Z-Head Integration: Typically paired with a 3-axis Z-Head, it provides 360-degree pan, tilt, and roll, giving the operator complete creative control over every axis of movement.
Operational Stability: Weighing nearly 3,000 lbs fully weighted, its massive inertia guarantees rock-solid, vibration-free frames, even in windy outdoor conditions.
