CABLE ASSIST SYSTEMTHE "Cable Brackets" cable system, a new accessory to Chapman's popular line of Lenny Arms is an innovative cable assist mechanism that adds rigidity and increased payload capabilities to longer configurations.
Available with the Lenny Mini, Lenny Arm plus, Lenny Arm II Plus, and Lenny Arm III, the system employs a 3/8" steel cable extending from the rear section to bars (cable brackets) attached atop the center post, with another 3/8" steel cable which extends from the cable bracket attachment to the front nose section of the arm.
Designed by Leonard Chapman, the cable system is recommended for configurations with front sections of 28' or longer and back sections of 8' or longer. The system also allows the use of an auxiliary bucket, which increases the weight capacity of the arm, creating heavier maximum payloads, while at the same time, preserving perfect arm balance and safety.
For more information or a demonstration of the Lenny Arm "Cable Brackets" cable assist system, please contact one of our representatives at (888) 88 DOLLY.
ATB II
A new and improved version of Chapman / Leonard's ATB has become available just in time for football season. The ATB II, used with its special sports package, makes sideline coverage easier. Incorporating both hydraulic and electronic actuation of the arm, the ATB II allows both the driver (hydraulically) or cameraman (electronically) to control the arm's movement. Additionally, the ATB II Arm can pan a full 360 degrees while obtaining heights of up to 16 feet. The ATB II comes with a variety of packages (e.g. sport, film, or television) to meet all your production needs. The ATB II wheels are easily changed with a single bolt and further simplified by incorporating a built-in solid tire, allowing tire change without the use of a jack. Another feature of the Sport ATB II is a narrower chassis, designed to fit the unit in TV trucks.
