METHOD OF MOVING A CAMERA ON A CAMERAMAN'S JIB CRANE DURING FILM OR TELEVISION SHOOTING, AND A CAMERAMAN'S JIB CRANE

摘要

The method involves the movement of a shooting apparatus in vertical and horizontal planes to follow the movement of the end of a crane boom, and further the reciprocal movement along of the crane boom (11). The boom crane for a cameraman comprises a hollow boom (11) assembled by at least two elements and mounted on a support (1) turnable in vertical and horizontal planes, a system (8) of crane boom mass compensation, central (12) and lateral (13) struts, tension wires (15) extending around the struts, tension wire stretching mechanisms (9), and a carriage (19) with a shooting apparatus (20) which is arranged on the assembled hollow crane boom (11) for reciprocal movement. The technical result that can be obtained by the present invention is the fact that the mass center of the boom is kept constant with regard to the hinge thereof for turning around in vertical plane during reciprocating of the shooting apparatus along the boom of the crane.
