Mobile Bases And Accessories
Dragon Base (For Moviebird 60’)
Designed by Cranium for the 60’ Moviebird arm, the Dragon Base is an incredibly efficient way to drive to multiple areas around an exterior location and achieve amazing shots. The Dragon Base™ eliminates the need for extra manpower and is much easier and considerably safer to re-position in a variety of terrains. The entire crane and base come in a custom-designed heavy-duty trailer. Once the position has been found, it takes minutes to level the base with its hydraulic levelers, and post up (up to 10’ at the fulcrum) to desired height to achieve amazing shots.
Frog Base (For Moviebird 50’)
The new Frog Base is specifically designed for the SuperTechno 50, making it an incredibly efficient way to drive to multiple areas around an exterior location. The Frog Base eliminates the need for extra manpower and is much easier and considerably safer to re-position in a variety of terrains. The entire crane & base come in a custom heavy-duty trailer specifically designed to quickly swap conventional base (for tracking shots) & frog base without the need for an additional cost of a forklift. Once the position has been found, it takes minutes to level the base with its hydraulic levelers, and post up to desired height with its custom hydraulic post. The weights always ride on the base, eliminating the need for weight carts and additional gear to unload & move. With it’s Dana 70 front & rear four-wheel drive axles, the frog base is the efficiency solution that the 50’ Supertechno has been lacking. The Frog Base’s four cylinder Ford motor is dual fuel so it runs on regular gas or Propane for stage use.
Krawler Base (For Moviebird 30’)
The new Krawler Base™ is specifically designed for the 30’ Moviebird crane (17’ or 24’ Moviebird cranes by special arrangement), making it an incredibly efficient way to drive to multiple areas around an exterior location and achieve amazing shots. The Krawler™ eliminates the need for extra manpower and is much easier—and considerably safer—to re-position in a variety of terrains. The entire crane and base come in a custom-designed heavy-duty trailer. Once the position has been found, it takes less than a minute to level the base with its hydraulic quick-leveling post, and post up to desired height to achieve amazing shots. The weights always ride on the base, eliminating the need for weight carts and additional gear to unload and move. With six-wheel drive and a 120Ah on-board Lithium Ion battery system for all day remote power, the Krawler™ is the efficient solution that the studio version 30’ Moviebird has been lacking.
Kreeper Base (For Moviebird 45’)
Introducing the long awaited Kreeper Base. Designed by Cranium for the 45’ Moviebird arm, the all new Kreeper Base is the newest addition to the Cranium mobile base family. The base is capable of all sorts of exciting shots whether you’re in downtown or out in the Mojave! The Kreeper Base™ helps to alleviate the need for extra manpower. The entire crane and base come in a custom-designed heavy-duty trailer. Once the position has been found, it takes minutes to level the base with its hydraulic levelers, and post up (up to 10’ at the fulcrum) to desired height to achieve amazing shots.
The Nazcar
Introducing the all new “Nazcar”. A revolutionary new electric camera car designed and built in house by the Cranium team. This car is designed to be fast, quiet, and agile, all the things necessary when achieving the perfect shot. The car is able to support a number of different cranes as well as a multi person crew. Please reach out for any and all questions.
Tanknocrane
It is finally here! The all new “Tanknocrane”. Built in house by the Cranium team, this revolutionary base comes equipped with tank treads to help traverse sandy locations.

Please reach out for any and all questions.
Pan Bars
Available as an alternative to the standard wheels, we have pan bar options for our Stabilized Scorpios, Mo-Sys products as well as our Oculus Head! Please contact for pricing and further information
Roll Axis
The roll axis slides onto the Mo-Sys Lambda tilt arm to provide a 3rd axis on set within seconds. It provides continuous 360 degree rotation with the crisp and precise responsiveness that is trademark Mo-Sys.
Swappable in minutes
Unrivaled ease of adjustment and positioning
360 degree roll, even with heavy payload
Fast 120 deg/sec roll rate
Precision gearing suitable for motion control
The roll axis has been designed to work with full professional film camera packages and allows continuous 360 degree rotation with large cameras (e.g. an Arriflex 435 with 300′ magazine).
With fast 120 degree/sec roll rate and precision gearing, it fits perfectly with the Lambda head to provide the user with a responsive remote head or motion control package.
Once the camera is mounted inside the roll axis, the user can adjust the axis position to balance the load and shift the camera nodal point without the need for special tools.
Scorpio Wireless Mimic Hand Control
The new Scorpio Hand Controls makes it much easier to operate the head wirelessly eliminating the need for bulky hand wheels. With the new hand controls you also gain accessibility to the all new Mimic mode. Call for more info!
Scorpio Head Joysticks
When hand wheels just won’t cut it, the scorpio joystick comes in handy. With a simple design and user interface, any DP will be able to get the required shot with great ease. For any questions, please feel free to reach out!
