Description
MotoCrane 50″ Steel Speedrail
Heavy-Duty 1-1/2″ Steel Rigging Tube for Professional Camera Mounts
The MotoCrane 50″ Steel Speedrail is a robust, 1-1/2″ (1.9″ outer diameter) steel tube designed for building durable rigging frameworks in demanding film production environments. Powder-coated in sleek black, this speedrail is engineered to withstand heavy loads and provide a solid foundation for mounting MotoCrane ULTRA or RADICAL suspension arms and accessories.
Product Details
-
Material: High-strength steel with powder-coated black finish for corrosion resistance and durability.
-
Dimensions: 50 inches in length; 1-1/2″ diameter (1.9″ OD), standard speedrail size compatible with most professional rigging hardware.
-
Quantity: Sold as a single piece; recommended purchase of 4 pieces to build a complete rigging grid or frame.
Recommended Use
This steel speedrail is specifically designed for use with the MotoCrane ULTRA and RADICAL systems. It provides a rigid support structure ideal for vehicle mounts and other heavy-duty applications. Due to its weight and strength, it is not recommended for direct suspension arm rigging, where lighter materials such as aluminum or the PSC System may be preferred to optimize performance and reduce overall rig weight.
Why Choose Steel Speedrail?
-
Superior Strength: Steel offers unmatched durability and resistance to bending or flexing under load, essential for demanding vehicle-mounted camera rigs.
-
Corrosion Resistance: The powder-coated finish protects against rust and wear, ensuring longevity even in harsh weather conditions.
-
Standard Compatibility: Fits all 1-1/2″ speedrail clamps, cheeseboroughs, and rigging accessories, making it versatile for a wide range of setups.
Ideal For
-
Heavy vehicle rigging where maximum strength and stability are required.
-
Creating structural frames for mounting suspension arms like ULTRA and RADICAL.
-
Film shoots demanding rugged, dependable rigging solutions for camera cars and chase sequences.
Important Note
Steel speedrail’s added weight makes it less suitable for suspension arm rigging where lighter materials reduce fatigue and improve dynamic performance. For suspension arm use, consider MotoCrane’s PSC System designed to optimize strength-to-weight ratio.
Summary
The MotoCrane 50″ Steel Speedrail is a professional-grade rigging component, offering the strength and durability required for high-stress camera mounting applications. When combined with the SSG Kit and MotoCrane systems, it helps create a secure, stable platform for capturing cinematic vehicle shots.
