camera crane

A camera crane is a piece of equipment used in filmmaking and video production that allows a camera to move smoothly in various directions, often at different heights. It resembles a mechanical arm, enabling the camera to swing, tilt, or lift above the scene, providing dynamic angles and tracking shots. This creates dramatic effects and enhances storytelling by offering unique perspectives that would be difficult to achieve with handheld cameras or stationary mounts. Crane shots are commonly used in movies, TV shows, and live events to capture expansive views and immersive action sequences.
