Support
Systems,
manufacturer of high-end camera
support systems and remote broadcast
solutions for the film and broadcast
industries, is presenting its new carbon
fibre telescoping Xtreme T10 Crane.
"Egripment has long been known for
its outstanding line of remote camera
cranes and has built a reputation as
a world-leader in the manufacturing
of professional camera support
equipment," says Richard Villhaber,
Sales Director for Egripment. "Like
all Egripment products, the Xtreme
T10 telescoping crane is the result of
a perfect combination of top quality
design and advanced engineering
technology.
"Following
our
ground
breaking
telescoping Xtreme
T12 carbon fibre
crane first produced
in 2010, Egripment
has
now
created a further extension of this line
of cranes with more innovation and
creative engineering."
Ready for Virtual or Augmented
operation: Villhaber says: "The
Xtreme T10 is not just a scaled down
version of the Xtreme T12. Instead, we
utilised our carbon fibre technology
and engineering experience with both
conventional and telescoping cranes
over the last 35 plus years, to produce
a new ground up engineering model,
designed around the need for precise
and smooth operation for Augmented
and Virtual Reality.
Telescoping Crane with ARC
Compensation: "Rather than first
building a crane, then deciding how
to make it work for this fast growing
segment of the broadcast and film
industry, we engineered the Xtreme
T10 directly toward AR / VR utilisation.
However, because of the ease of
use designed into every Egripment
product, the Xtreme T10 is also
completely suitable for conventional
telescoping crane use with the
innovative ARC Compensation," says
Villhaber.
"Our use of laid up carbon fibre
technology, along with cold-drawn,
rolled carbon bearing steel, enabled

"All axes of the crane arm, dolly
and telescoping column may be fully
encoded to become an integral part of
any AR / VR system."
