En
enkel och kostnadseffektivt uppgradering för alla Polecam riggar - särskilt effektivt
för Polecam med äldre kolfiber rör.
Polecam
wire support ger ytterligare styvhet och minskar vibrationer vid snabba rörelser, när man jobbar från
fordon och även
vid krävande väderförhållanden. Kan användas på en Polecam med ett enda rör upp
till 7th Heaven version (8m) . Perfekt för musik video/konserter och
liknande situationer där snabba kran rörelser används.
The
Polecam WSS has been developed using two Polecam Owner Operators to field test
and recommend changes; the resulting finished product is simplicity itself!
The system has two main wires that are fully adjustable to your
chosen length up to the maximum Polecam 7 sections (7th Heaven) which is 8m
(26'). The main wires are attached with a simple loop wire at the head end, then
they connect to the struts (a connecting wire links the struts to each other)
which are fixed to a clamp positioned near the monitor on the Polecam rig and
finally they are routed to the rear section where another loop wire connects the
system. Fine tuning of the wire tension is done with the special adjusters
fitted to the wires. No tools are required.
Fitting the Polecam WSS takes less than 5 minutes and is easily
adjusted when you want to relocate or change your reach.
The system is supplied in a handy Cordura bag designed to keep
everything neat and tidy as well as be tough enough to last.
In use the Polecam Wire Strut System instils great confidence
as it makes the Polecam rig really stiff and so easy to use because flex, bounce
and snake is eliminated. Now the impressive 8m (26') Polecam 7th Heaven is
accessible to everyone.
All this for the price of a single piece of
Polecam carbon Fibre!
Reviews
First Impressions with the Polecam Wire Strut
System
By Polecam Owner Operator Luis Córdova from
Spain
The new Polecam Wire Strut System (WSS) surprised us with its
small footprint. Following Polecam's policy of extreme simplicity it takes up
very little space in the transport and installs quickly. The first time you
install it takes you two minutes (from the second time it take less...) It is
very easy to place and not uncomfortable to use.
The WSS makes the Polecam extraordinarily stiff and eliminates
the feeling of working with a resilient arm whereby you have to wait for it to
stabilize in order to begin movement. Now with the Wire Strut you have a rigid
system, which responds instantly to relocation and rapid movements.
When using the Polecam Wide Head the Wire Strut System provides
a sense of lightness. It seemed as if the camera head weighed less. The WSS
allows you to put more Poles without excessive bending under the weight and
completely eliminates the feeling of "snake" when you make a quick movement.
When you use the Wire Strut with a standard head literally you
get more accurate movement and repositioning much faster and smoother.
Definitely the perfect complement to Polecam across a "hot head
(crane)", but with a much faster installation.
