Arm Car Charlotte, NC — U-Crane / Russian Arm Camera Vehicle Services

Dynamic Camera Vehicles for High-Speed Cinematography in Charlotte

VidMuze Cinema provides professional arm car services in Charlotte, NC, including U-Crane (formerly Russian Arm) camera vehicles designed for precision, power, and cinematic movement. Our custom pursuit vehicles bring next-level motion control to high-speed shoots across Charlotte’s city streets, racetracks, and highways. From car commercials to action sequences, our team delivers smooth, stable, and breathtaking footage—every time.

What Is an Arm Car / U-Crane?

An arm car—also known as a camera car, Russian Arm, or U-Crane—is a specialized vehicle outfitted with a remote-controlled, gyro-stabilized crane arm. This system allows the camera to move freely in 3D space around the vehicle while driving at high speed, creating dramatic and immersive shots that are impossible with static rigs or handheld setups.

The U-Crane, developed by Filmotechnic, offers a compact, low-profile design ideal for Charlotte’s diverse filming environments—from narrow Uptown streets to winding mountain roads in nearby western North Carolina.

Why Use an Arm Car on Your Charlotte Production?

  1. High-Speed, Cinematic Motion
    Capture the adrenaline of moving vehicles with precision and control. Our arm car systems can chase, track, or orbit vehicles at highway speeds while keeping the frame rock-steady.

  2. Full 360° Creative Movement
    The robotic arm provides unrestricted 360° pan, tilt, and roll—perfect for stylized car commercials, racing scenes, or dynamic passes that flow seamlessly around your subject.

  3. Unmatched Stability & Precision
    Our gyro-stabilized camera systems counter vibration, bumps, and speed shifts, ensuring smooth footage even on rough terrain or when pushing performance limits.

  4. Safety & Set Control
    Every arm move is executed by experienced operators using safety-first protocols. We coordinate closely with the director, driver, and camera team to ensure complete control and repeatability.
