SCORPIO 23’ - TECHNICAL INFORMATION - Basic information

Version 1.01 April 21, 2021

1 TECHNICAL INFORMATION

1.1 BASIC INFORMATION

The Scorpio 23’ cranes are a 3 telescopic sections cranes with a dynamic counterweight system to

compensate the balance weight during motion. They are capable to perform smooth movements in

high and slow speed with reduced noise of the telescopic arm movement.

It is possible to mount any kind of head up to 70kg including camera package in the underslung

position. There is also the possibility to mount the leveling head in the over slung position to get more

lens high with 35kg of maximum payload for the head and the camera package in this configuration.

The range of movement on the Tilt axis (100º of movement, 50º up from the horizontal position and

50º down) allows the Scorpio 23’ cranes to get an amazing high lens in a small footprint which makes

it perfect for any situation.

The dollies are prepared for mounting gripping bars to push the crane along 1m dolly tracks or use

the articulated arms from the dolly to adapt it to 62cm tracks or even collapse it more to fit the crane

in those hard-to-get places for bigger cranes.

The features incorporated in the electronic box, such as Arc Compensation or program limits on the

movement of the arm, makes this crane the best option for those shots that require a hard level of

coordination between different members of the crew. The possibility to record movements and play

them back as many times as needed with high precision makes this crane a good option for repetitive

movements scenarios.

The new external display allows to operate from both sides of the crane while being able to see all

the information data displayed on the screen (arm range, height of the optic, pan, and tilt degrees…).

The Scorpio cranes match perfectly with any Scorpio Head. This combination of head and crane

can work together allowing the user to perform features such as back pan for regular heads or the

tracking feature: the possibility to set one point in space and lock the head in that point while the arm

moves around.

2 PARTS AND COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION

This is a general view of the components on the SCORPIO 23’ cranes:

The dolly is the part that locates the crane in the position where it will be operated, either with the

travelling wheels or the dolly wheels and the steering handles.

The Column holds the arm and can be extended or retracted manually to the desired high of the

arm to perform different movements depending on the needs of the user.

The fulcrum is where the arm pivots inthe pan and tilt axes. The information regarding themovement

of the arm is gathered from here.

The Telescopic arm can be extended or retracted using the hand command in order to reach

different positions for the remote head. It has a counterweight support to keep the arm balanced in

any position.

The Electronic box is the main brain of the crane. All the electronic components are located in the

Electronic box and the Leveling Head.

The Leveling Head holds the level automatically when the telescopic arm moves up and down.

The Dynamic Counterweight System allows to fine tune the balance of the arm in any point of its

extension.

Beside the crane, there are some accessories that are needed in order to operate the crane and to

do regular maintenance of the crane. In the following chapters there will be a brief description of every

component of the crane and the adjustments that can be done by the user.

2.1 DOLLY

2.1.1 DOLLY BASE

The dolly is the base of the crane, it can be pushed with 48mm or

50mm Aluminum pipes attaching them into the supports (A in

fig.02.03) by tightening the white knobs in the supports. These

supports can also be used as a storage point for the Leveling Jacks

of the dolly. There are 4 supports for pushing bars, two per side. The

dolly also has four supports in the center base (B on fig.02.03) to put

the leveling jacks when they are not used.

It has four strap rings on the corners of the base to secure the

telescopic arm into the dolly when the arm is mounted.

The threads in the dolly (A in fig.02.04) and the guiding pins (B) are

used to attach the column to the dolly. In the chapter 9

Documentation there is a drawing of the column attachment base.

The Scorpio 23’ has two independent steering handles (C in

fig.02.03) and pneumatic wheels that allow the movement of the

crane through tight corners. The steering handles can be locked by

introducing the locking pin (D10x30mm) in the locking position (D in

fig.02.04). There is a storage position for the locking pin in case it is

not locking the direction.

Note: Do not lift the crane from the strap rings of the dolly.

If the crane needs to be lifted, strap it under the chassis.

Version 1.01 April 21, 2021

It is possible to easily remove the steering handle by unscrewing the

4 screws next to the steering lock screw on the steering handle

support. The friction screw is used to apply friction on the vertical

movement of the steering handle.

2.1.2 DOLLY WHEELS

The wheels are attached to the dolly with castle nuts. On the inner

side of the hubs there are the pressure brakes of the wheels (red

handles). The holes inside the hubs shafts are prepared to receive

the leveling jack’s shaft and, once in place, with the locking

pin(08x60mm) they are locked in place (fig.02.07). To assemble the

wheel introduce it intothe shaft and lock it withthe nut usingthecastle

tool provided.

There is one leveling jack for each wheel. To move the crane

around, they can be removed to reduce the width of the base. To

operate the crane, the 4 of them need to be touching the ground and

they may be used to level the base. To introduce the leveling jack,

remove the locking pin, introduce the axis of the jack through the hole

inside the shaft of the wheel and lock it in place with the pin. Then

bring the pad down using the 24mm ratchet wrench provided with the

crane or the steering wheel.

2.1.3 ARTICULATED ARMS

The Scorpio 23’ has three possible configurations for the dolly’s articulated arms:

Option A is for 1m. / 3.3 ft. wide tracks and high-speed movements. It is the widest and therefore

makes the crane most stable.

The option B is for 62cm / 2 ft. wide tracks and normal speed movements.

The option C is the narrowest and may only be used to pass the crane through doorways. In this

configuration it is forbidden to use the crane to shoot. The base is not stable enough to allow any arm

movement. The crane is top heavy and will topple over. In this configuration, the steering can only

turn a few degrees in either direction because of the width of the wheel arms.

A–Screws to hold the steering.

B–Friction screw.
