What Is an Arm Car / U-Crane?

An arm car, also known as a camera car, Russian Arm, or U-Crane, is a purpose-built pursuit vehicle equipped with a gyro-stabilized robotic crane arm.
This system allows the camera to move around moving subjects in 3D space — panning, tilting, or orbiting with fluid precision while the vehicle is in motion.

The U-Crane, developed by Filmotechnic, features a compact, low-profile design that excels on Charleston’s narrow cobblestone streets, bridges, and coastal roads — making it ideal for local and regional productions.

  2. Full 360° Creative Range
    The robotic crane arm offers complete pan, tilt, and roll freedom — perfect for car-to-car sequences, sweeping arcs, and fast passes that show off vehicles or action scenes in motion.

  3. Smooth, Stable, Cinematic Footage
    With advanced gyro-stabilization and vibration isolation, we achieve flawless tracking shots across uneven roads, cobblestone surfaces, and high-speed environments.

  4. Safe & Coordinated Operation
    Our trained arm car operators, drivers, and camera crew communicate in real time to ensure safety, precision, and repeatable motion — essential for complex or high-speed setups.
