Who is The Crane Guy?

---

I started in the industry in 1985 shooting for a production company that shot corporate image pieces, training videos, and commercials for local car dealerships. We would rent this thing called a "Jimmy Jib" to give our spots more production value. As I used it more and more, I began to realize that the Jimmy Jib had huge potential to be a great production tool. However, to get the most out of the equipment, there should be someone who specialized in operating the it. Much like a Stedicam Operator with a Stedicam.  So, I started freelancing as a Jimmy Jib Operator in 1987. As my client list grew,  some of them were requesting a larger crane. One that was rideable, or could reach further, support heavier payloads, and wheels based remote heads. In order to service those clients, I purchased the Panther Pegasus Crane along with a Power Pod remote head. The next step, in cranes as  well as for my company, was to purchase the MovieBird 30' Telescopic  Crane. I have owned and operated camera cranes and remote heads for nearly 40 years. I also offer many other fixed arm cranes, a smaller Telescopic crane, remote heads, gimbals, electric camera platforms, cable cam, and various other camera movement systems. I love what I do and enjoy the people I  work with
