Description
Egripment TDT Encoded Crane – Lightweight Telescopic Camera Crane for Virtual Production, Broadcast & VFX
The Egripment TDT Encoded Crane is a cutting-edge, modular telescopic camera crane built for today’s most demanding virtual production, broadcast, and VFX applications. Designed for flexibility, precision, and portability, the TDT series offers full-axis encoder integration—allowing seamless synchronization with AR/VR workflows, motion control systems, and real-time rendering platforms like Unreal Engine.
Available in multiple configurations ranging from 3 to 9 meters, the TDT Encoded Crane delivers smooth, programmable camera motion with real-time positional data feedback. Whether you’re working in LED volumes, green screen studios, or live broadcast environments, the TDT crane system ensures exceptional camera stability, repeatability, and digital workflow compatibility.
Designed for Modern Cinematic and Digital Workflows
The TDT Crane is not just another lightweight remote crane—it’s a next-generation tool optimized for virtual production, augmented reality, and live performance capture. With modular arm sections (1.5 meters / 5 feet each), the crane can be easily transported in compact vehicles, making it ideal for on-location shoots or studio environments with limited space.
Pair it with the Egripment 306 Encoded Remote Head for a complete motion-controlled solution. Every axis of the TDT crane—including pan, tilt, boom, and telescopic extension—is fully encoded, enabling precise integration into camera tracking systems, VFX pipelines, and previsualization tools.
