Camera Crane Truck

As a former Sound Department member, its a cool rig

 

Thanks for the reply and additional info, and for sharing your unique truck!

 

Wrapped the truck in matte black and am now running a much larger camera gimbal (capable of handling a 50lb payload!)

 

I feel that I should make a black wrap joke but I won't

 

I designed and fabricated a custom power supply system that has a receptacle panel fitted into the center console. The panel gives me 5v, 12v, 24v, and 110v (AC) in a variety of film industry-specific receptacle types all in one central location in the cab. Now I can easily power whatever I want, such as monitors, receivers, converters, and other video equipment, without having to deal with individual batteries for each piece of gear, saving time and hassle on set.

The heart of the power supply is a 40Ah LiFePO4 battery bank that is charged and maintained via a Victron DC-DC isolated smart charger. I managed to fit everything (batts, charger, inverter, converters, fuse block, switches, etc) in the storage compartment behind the left rear seat. I aimed to maximize the system potential given the space available.

 

Damn, you do amazing work!

 

Fitment into OEM compartments, and cleanliness of wiring is amazing. Great work!

 

Excellent work on the entire set-up. Great fab skills

 

Thats an amazingly clean panel.

 

Shooting on top of Mt Washington today.

 

Incredible work @matt2491

 

What did the people at the gatehouse say when you showed up with that rig?

 

Very nice. Even better that you get to use it frequently. Well done.

 

Lowerin’ the Boom right there.

 

More filming in the 603.
