1 TECHNICAL INFORMATION

1.1 BASIC INFORMATION

Servicevision provides a completely new concept of telescopic arms to the film and television

industry. The Scorpio light series cranes had been designed to be the swiss army knife of the camera

support equipment. Bringing a new whole and never-ending full range of possibilities and solutions

on the remote camera support.

Another revolutionary feature of the light series is the possibility of displaying whole movement

manually. In manual mode, the director, the photographer, or camera operator will manually perform

the pan, tilt, and telescopic movement of the crane while the arm remains balanced, and the head

levelled to horizon…. as said, a new whole world of possibilities.

The Electronic box to control the crane is extra small and light comparing to the heavy-duty series.

With a removable touch panel display, it keeps all the functions and features developed by Scorpio

for its bigger brothers. The arc compensator, operational limits, selectable speeds, memorization and,

of course, interfaceable with the Scorpio heads to perform back pan and targeting functions.

SCORPIO 10’

THE UNIQUE ALL TERRAIN PORTABLE TELESCOPIC ARM IN THE MARKET.

Mitchel mounted in its Fulcrum; the arm it is compatible with any dolly in the market. Very compact

when retracted and light to make it very easy to move and maneuver when accessing to difficult and

small locations. A main tube plus two telescopic sections give 2.3 mts of telescopic travelling. With a

60kg payload capacity the Scorpio 10’ is robust providing a solid and smooth continuous camera

movement.

The Scorpio 10’ can be provided together Scorpio Dolly. As robust and light as the arm, designed

to be the perfect carrier for either the Scorpio 10, the Scorpio 17’ and Scorpio 23’L. The articulable

arms give the capacity of changing its width in three different positions: for 0.62mts standard dolly

tracks, for 0.41mts tracks, and the last and narrowest configuration of only 0.65 total width, to make

this telescopic arm + dolly accessible almost anywhere (this smallest configuration is not for

operational mode).

Another key component is the telescopic column provided with the Scorpio Dolly. One single

telescopic section, both manually or drill operated and as well as the Scorpio Dolly, the column has

been designed to operate either the Scorpio 10’, 17’ and 23’L arms. Rise the column and reach the

maximum tilt angle and optical height or low down the column and you will be able to get through any

doorway higher than 173cm.

The Scorpio Dolly and the column are optional accessories when purchasing the Scorpio 10’ and

included when purchasing the Scorpio 17’ or 23’L.

SCORPIO LIGHT SERIES 10’/17’/23’L - TECHNICAL INFORMATION - Basic information

Version 1.04 May 26, 2022

SCORPIO 17’

THE MIDDLE RANGE LIGHT COMPACT TELESCOPIC CRANE...

Mitchell mounted Fulcrum and with a main arm section with 3 telescopic sections, instead of 2, It

keeps the advantages and characteristics of the Scorpio 10’ but reaching a longer range of 4.05mts

and keeping it in the light and compact crane concept, not affecting the portability and mobility. Using

the very same Scorpio dolly as the Scorpio 10’ warranties flexibility and accessibility to any location.

As well as the Scorpio 10 and Scorpio 23’L, the 17’ belongs to the light line of cranes for Scorpio,

where the arm can be removed very easy and quick, without the need of lifting or towing machine,

only between 2- and 4-men operation can remove, assemble, and transport any of the arms (10’, 17’

and 23’L). The Michell mounted fulcrum allows to mount it in any Mitchell mount support and all the

light series cranes range (Scorpio 10, 17 and 23’L) it gives the possibility of splitting the system in

three separate operational parts, arm and fulcrum, the dolly and the column.

With the same payload capacity (60kgs.), it is the good match to be used in a vehicle, it is also a

versatile small telescopic crane for any shooting situations such as stages, studios, small locations…

a good solution for any job.

SCORPIO 23’L

THE LONGEST RANGE WITH THE LIGHTEST WEIGHT…

This crane is designed to reach up to 5.6meters of telescopic range for a little bit less of payload

capacity. The 40kgs payload warrantiesthe capacity of taking any two axisor small stabilized remote

head in the market with it and be able to reach 23 feet with a very light arm. Following the concept of

the light series, the 23’L crane is also Mitchel mounted fulcrum and it consist in a main tube with 3

telescopic sections, like the Scorpio17 and keeping the concept of compatibility, maneuverability and

portability of these light series.

In comparation to the regular Scorpio23’, this crane has the same length but much lighter and

maneuverable. Mounted in the Scorpio Dolly gives this extra plus in maneuverability and accessibility

to small or difficult access locations. And because is mounted in the same telescopic column allows

to get a 23’ telescopic crane fully mounted and loaded through any doorway.
