A telescoping camera crane (30) has mechanical drive (102) and camera platfo rm leveling systems (50,104,342,260,450), allowing for water resistant or submerged operation. Telescoping sections (54,56) of the crane arm (35) are driven by a hydraulic system (100), for smooth and near silent extension and retraction movement. Camera platform leveling and stabilizing systems (50,104,342,360,450) keep the camera level. A shock and vibration isolator (540) for the camera has a vertical axis system, including a base (548), an arm (558) pivotably attached to the base, and at least one spring (566) connected to the base and to the arm. One or more dampeners (590) are connected to the base and to the arm. A horizontal axis system (610) is supported by the vertical axis system. A leveling linkage (602) connects the vertical and horizontal axis systems. The leveling linkage has adjustment features that allow for compensation of camera lens angulation caused by movement of the camera (536) supported on a vehicle (32) rolling over rough or uneven ground. |
