Remote Pan Bar System

This accessory can be used with the Power Pod remote camera system. Available for rent under Item #8050, this accessory allows the camera operator to simulate operation of the Power Pod remote camera system as if he/she were directly behind the camera, operating it from pan bars. This system allows the camera to be mounted on a crane arm, while the operator is standing on the ground viewing the action from a monitor mounted on a tripod, along with the pan bar system. This set up is a must for the camera operator who likes to sit behind the camera while operating it.

Solid Wheels plus 'LXL' Track perfect combination for the CS Base

New accessory combinations are available for the CS Base. Chapman's solid tires can be used on the CS Base in combination with our new dual walled stage crane track (LXL Track). This combination allows a stable tracking system when used for the larger crane arm configurations. You can see this setup pictured at the right. Feel free to contact one of our rental coordinators for more details.

CS Base Ramps

The CS Base ramps allow safe and easy loading and unloading of the CS Base. The CS Base ramps can be ordered under Item #9638. Feel free to contact one of our rental coordinators for more details.

Tracking Bar for Chapman / Leonard's New CS Base

Now Chapman / Leonard's popular CS Base features a tracking bar (pictured left). This bar allows the dolly grip to comfortably track the CS Base from the side of the chassis and not from behind. Additionally, the tracking bar allows two people to track the CS Base, one person on each side. This creates the capability for more manpower to track the chassis, if needed.

Mobile Crane Ramp / Riser

The Mobile Crane Riser allows the Super Nova, Titan, or Apollo mobile crane to be easily loaded onto a stage that has a loading dock 4 feet high. The ramps need a minimal amount of time for setup and allow Chapman mobile cranes to be used on most stages. The Mobile Crane Ramp / Riser can be ordered under Item #5025. Feel free to talk to one of our rental cooridinators for more details.
