Panther Pixy Plus Crane
The Most Lightweight and Portable Camera Crane for Solo Operators
The Panther Pixy Plus Crane redefines mobility and simplicity in professional camera crane systems. Engineered for solo operators and fast-paced productions, this aluminum crane offers exceptional reach, speed, and safety—all in a remarkably lightweight form. With a tool-free setup and modular design, the Pixy Plus is ideal for television stations, indie filmmakers, and mobile production crews who demand flexibility without sacrificing performance.
Ultra-Fast Setup – 9 Meters in Just 9 Minutes
Thanks to its uniform design, every outrigger extension and balance rod is the same length, allowing for tool-free assembly in record time. Locking pins and color-coded carabiners simplify the setup process so much that a single operator can rig a full 9-meter crane arm in just 9 minutes.
Dual Operation Modes – Manual or Remote
The Pixy Plus Crane supports manual cable control or remote head operation, giving you full creative freedom. Operate from the rear using traditional cables or control a remote head via joystick or pan bar for precise, dynamic camera movements. Whether you’re shooting solo or with a team, the Pixy Plus adapts to your preferred style.
Seamless Mobility with Panther Dollies
When you need more than just crane arm movement, the Pixy Plus integrates effortlessly with Panther’s dolly systems such as the Universal Dolly or the Husky Dolly. Combine the Pixy Plus with tracks or wheeled setups to achieve smooth crane-in-motion shots—essential for music videos, commercials, and narrative storytelling.
Pixy Jib Arm – Lightweight Power
The Pixy Jib Arm, weighing only 9 kg (20 lbs), extends up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft.) and carries up to 25 kg (55 lbs). It can be used independently of the crane and is ideal for tight spaces or elevated shots where a full crane setup isn’t feasible. Operate it from the rear or directly with the camera—it’s all about flexibility.
Designed for Transport and Portability
The Pixy Plus Crane is made with lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum and can be transported effortlessly. Choose between a single wheeled transport case or soft carrying bags that fit easily into a car—no truck required. This makes it the perfect crane system for remote shoots, live events, and fast setups.
Maximum Reach, Minimum Weight
Even at its maximum length of 11 meters (36.5 ft.), the Pixy Plus weighs only 31 kg (69 lbs). Despite its low weight, it offers a payload capacity of 25 kg (55 lbs), supporting a wide range of camera setups including cinema cameras and remote heads.
Engineered for Safety & Stability
Constructed from high-strength aluminum, the Pixy Plus includes a lateral anchoring system that enhances structural integrity and delivers smooth, vibration-free shots. It is officially certified for television broadcast applications, ensuring reliability in professional environments.
