| Title: |
Telescoping Camera Crane |
| Abstract: |
In a telescoping camera crane arm, a second section is telescopically
extendible into and out of the first section. The second section divided
into a front segment attached to a back segment by a connector, to allow
the front segment to be removed from the back segment. An adapter is
attachable to the front end of the first section. A camera support
attachable to the adapter and to the front end of the front segment. To
configure the crane for increased maximum payload, the front segment is
removed from the back segment. The adapter is attached to the front end
of the front section, and the camera support is attached to the adapter,
so that the camera support is then supported directly by the first
section. A spring balancing system compensates for out-of-balance forces
associated with changes in the elevation angle of the crane arm.
