Need help?Do you have a question about the Servicevision Scorpio and is the answer not in the manual?
The Servicevision Scorpio 38’ - 45’ is a telescopic crane designed for professional cinematography, offering smooth and precise camera movements at various speeds. It features a dynamic counterweight system that automatically adjusts to maintain balance during operation, minimizing noise from arm movements.
The Scorpio crane is a versatile tool for capturing dynamic shots, capable of extending and retracting its arm to achieve a wide range of camera positions. It supports various camera setups, including underslung and overslung configurations for the leveling head. The crane's electronic box acts as its central control unit, managing all movements, programming limits, and recording/playback of movements with high precision. This makes it ideal for repetitive shots or complex sequences requiring coordinated crew efforts. The crane can be operated from both sides via an external display that shows real-time data such as arm range, optic height, and pan/tilt degrees. When integrated with Scorpio Heads, it unlocks advanced features like back pan and tracking, allowing the camera to lock onto a specific point in space while the arm moves.
The crane's dolly can be configured for 1m dolly tracks (both 38' and 45' models) or 62cm tracks (38' model only, with collapsible dolly). Pneumatic wheels allow easy relocation on set. The motorized telescopic column can be lifted or retracted via the hand command, eliminating the need for extra tools. The fulcrum, where the arm pivots, includes pan and tilt brakes and fluid screws for friction adjustment. The telescopic arm consists of four sections, with a dynamic counterweight system that automatically balances the arm during extension and retraction. The electronic box offers features like Arc Compensation, programmable movement limits, and movement recording/playback. The portable display provides real-time data and allows operation from either side of the crane. Integration with Scorpio Heads enables advanced functions such as back pan (maintaining a fixed infinity point while the crane swings) and tracking (locking the camera onto a specific point in space). The system also supports augmented reality scenarios by outputting encoder data.
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Key maintenance aspects include:
The manual also provides detailed information on troubleshooting common problems related to the leveling head, electronics, column, and counterweights, as well as a list of fuses in the electronic box and their corresponding symptoms if blown. Safety information emphasizes the importance of proper training, personal protective equipment, balancing, and avoiding operation in hazardous conditions.
