𝗢𝗞𝗔𝗬, 𝗪𝗘’𝗥𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗗𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚. Mostly. 😅 We do love a good lunch. Ask anyone who’s watched us wrap a rig with fifteen minutes to spare. But the truth is, what actually gets us moving that fast has nothing to do with the catering table.

It’s the craft. It’s a director calling “one more” because the shot is so close you can feel it. It’s the fact that we get to wake up every single day and do this for a living, moving cameras through the air with a crew of people who love it as much as we do.

That’s the fuel. Not the sandwich. Well, mostly not the sandwich.

If you’ve got a shot you’re chasing and a team that wants to nail it, we’re already moving. 📞 818-582-3022

𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪 𝗨𝗣. We just got bigger toys. Meet one of the biggest setups in the TCC fleet: the MovieBird MB50XL riding on the Kaiman Crane 4x4 Base. Fifty feet of reach on a four wheel drive platform, which means the shot isn’t limited to wherever the pavement ends. Dirt, sand, grass, uneven ground, if you can drive there, we can get the camera there.

The MB50XL brings the reach, the payload, and that rock steady frame at full extension. The Kaiman brings the freedom to take all of it off road and into locations most cranes can’t touch. Put them together and you’ve got a rig built to get the shot anywhere in the world.

We’ll be honest, we love playing with all our toys. But this one? This one’s special.

Got a shot in a place a crane isn’t supposed to go? That’s our favorite kind of call. 📞 818-582-3022

𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗣𝗜𝗢 𝟯𝟴. Every crane in our fleet is built to move. This one is built to remember. The Scorpio 38 is the most feature dense arm we run, a crane filmmakers around the world turn to, and the one we reach for when a shot has to be precise, repeatable, and data driven.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁. ServiceVision has built a global reputation for a reason, and the Scorpio is why. Where a lot of cranes are about a clean, powerful mechanical move, this one is about brains. It can memorize a move and play it back identically, take after take, and it interfaces directly with the Scorpio Head so the crane and head work as one synced system. That unlocks back panning, programmed trajectories, and repeatable moves you simply can’t do by feel alone.

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁. It outputs tilt, pan, and arm encoder data for motion capture and virtual production, so this is the arm you want when the camera move has to feed a virtual set or an AR pipeline. As the industry leans harder into virtual production, this is the crane that’s ready for it.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀. 38 feet of reach from four telescoping sections, which is how it packs over 30 feet of travel into an arm that folds down to just about 7. It holds 70 kg under slung, compensates for the arc of the arm in both horizontal and vertical, and runs a noise reduction system on the telescopic movement for shooting with sound.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘁. If you need reach and raw payload, we’ve got the MovieBird 50. If you need to go vertical, that’s the MB12. And when you need precision, memory, and virtual production readiness, this is your crane. Different tools, one team that knows how to run all of them.

𝗪𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠. And the crews we get to do it with. Swipe through and you’ll see it. The same crew showing up on a beach at golden hour, on the ice before puck drop, on a space set, on a dirt road in the hills at 6am, and under a freeway overpass at 2 in the morning. Different worlds every week. Same people, same energy, every time.

That’s the part of this job that doesn’t get posted enough. The gear is incredible, but gear doesn’t make a 14 hour day feel short. Crews do. The grips, the operators, the ADs, the camera teams, the people who wave you into a tight parking spot and hand you a coffee you didn’t ask for. We’ve been at this over 40 years and we still get excited driving to set, because we genuinely like the people we get to build these shots with.

So this one’s for the TCC family and every crew that’s ever put us to work. Thanks for the memories on the wall so far.

See you out there. 818-582-3022

𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗗 𝗠𝗕𝟭𝟮 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗘. The only telescopic crane in the world that moves straight up. Every other technocrane telescopes along the angle of its arm. The MB12 folds its yoke and travels true vertical, which means it gets shots nothing else can.

Made by @moviebird_international

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱. A tilt range from negative 25 degrees all the way to a true 90 degrees vertical, with full uninterrupted pan the entire time. That vertical move is what lets it work in the places a normal arm can’t reach, tight interiors, narrow staircases, cramped sets where there’s no room to swing a jib.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀. Twelve feet of reach with 8.5 feet of telescopic travel, carrying up to 60 kg on the nose. A triangular arm with a three point guide rail system built to take the stresses and shocks of moving on a vehicle. Its own over and under slung leveling head with adjustable offset, and an optional gyro leveling add on for when things get bumpy.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲. In its most compact setup on the scissor dolly, it clears a 0.8 meter opening. A telescoping crane that fits through an office door. Run it off a 48V battery or wall power, so it isn’t chained to a generator when it doesn’t need to be.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀. Pair it with a camera car and you get a move that travels with your subject then rises straight off the platform, ground to air in a single take. It’s small, it’s agile, and it does something no other crane in the world can.

And like always, the arm is only half of it. Getting a move like this safely takes a crew who knows the crane. That’s where we come in.

𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗫𝗜𝗦. “Remote Head Tip of the Day” on the Gyro Motion Genesis Gimbal @gyromotiongmbh. The tool is a fourth axis head and when it’s unlocked, the outer ring rotates to clear the way for the tilt. That’s the engineering that makes the head impossible to gimbal lock. But when you’re in tight on an actor, floating around their face, that ring is spinning two feet from them while they’re trying to deliver lines.

So lock it out. Pan axis off, the head goes dead quiet, and the actor gets nothing but the frame. When the coverage opens back up, unlock it and you’ve got full rotation again.

Small habit, big difference. The gear should never pull a performance out of the moment, and knowing when to shut a feature off matters as much as knowing how to use it. That’s the stuff that gets you invited back.

Got a tip of your own, or a question about the Genesis? Drop it in the comments.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗦 𝗚𝗜𝗠𝗕𝗔𝗟. The head that never locks up. Most gimbals have a weakness. Point them straight down, flip through vertical, or mount them at a weird angle, and you hit gimbal lock or the controls flip polarity on you. The Genesis from Gyro Motion (@gyromotiongmbh) was engineered to kill that problem entirely.

Here’s what you’re working with:

A patented 4 axis design, three stabilization axes plus one redundant, which means gimbal lock is gone in any orientation. Unlimited 360 degree continuous pan, tilt, and roll. Mount it upright, underslung, sideways, or change the mounting orientation mid move, and the controls always stay correct. Stabilization accurate enough to hold a clean image on lenses up to 500mm. Two control modes, horizon relative or camera relative. It remembers positions in space and returns to them. Programmable limits, motion recording, auto roll flip through vertical. And it’s ready the second you power on. No calibration dance, no startup ritual.

On the end of a telescoping crane, that’s everything. The crane gives you the reach and the move. The Genesis keeps the frame locked no matter how aggressive the arm gets. Together it’s one continuous, unbroken shot from ground to 50 feet with the horizon exactly where you put it.

And here’s the part we’re proud of: TCC is one of the few companies in North America with access to this technology. This is the kind of gear we chase, because it’s the kind of gear that changes what a shot can be.

𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗗 𝗠𝗕𝟱𝟬𝗫𝗟. If we had to pick one crane that does it all, this is it. The MB50XL is our most requested, most versatile, and most used arm, project to project.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨. Fifty feet of reach carrying a full cinema package on the nose, rock steady even fully extended, with a compact back end that clears a standard door and fits where most 50 foot cranes simply can’t. It recently got even better with new Straight Line Compensation electronics for cleaner, more precise moves, and new motivators that let the team reposition it around set faster and with fewer hands.

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩. It is endlessly versatile, adapting to nearly any shot, set, or camera package without flex or bounce. The new SLC electronics make programmed, repeatable moves smoother than ever, and it remains one of the safest arms on the market.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝. This is a serious piece of equipment. It needs room to work and time to build right, and for a simple jib move it is overkill, in which case we will happily point you to a smaller arm. It is not grab and go. Getting the most out of it takes a crew who knows the arm inside and out.

And that is the whole point. The crane is just a tool. What makes a 50 foot arm safe, efficient, and effective on the day is the team running it. That is where we come in, with years of experience on this exact crane across every kind of production.
