What Is an Arm Car / U-Crane?

An arm car, also known as a camera car, Russian Arm, or U-Crane, is a high-performance vehicle equipped with a remote-controlled, gyro-stabilized crane arm. This setup allows a camera to move fluidly around a moving subject—spinning, orbiting, or tracking with absolute precision while maintaining stability at high speeds.

The U-Crane (developed by Filmotechnic) features a low-profile design ideal for tight spaces, bridges, beachside roads, and Wilmington’s diverse filming locations—from downtown streets to coastal highways and wooded backroads.

Why Use an Arm Car for Your Wilmington Production?

  1. High-Speed Precision Tracking
    Our arm cars allow directors to safely capture fast-paced vehicle chases, performance driving, and dynamic cinematic motion—all at highway speeds.

  2. Cinematic 360° Camera Movement
    The U-Crane enables full 360° rotation and tilt, perfect for sweeping arcs, revolving chase shots, or overhead transitions that add scale and energy to your sequence.

  3. Ultra-Stable Gyro-Stabilization
    Each system uses advanced stabilization and damping to eliminate vibration and motion inconsistencies, producing footage that’s smooth and visually immersive.

  4. Safe, Controlled Operation
    Our Wilmington-based crew includes skilled arm techs, operators, and drivers who communicate in real time to keep every take coordinated, safe, and repeatable.
