Scorpio Arm (U-Crane) on Mercedes ML 63 AMG
Our Scorpio Arm is mounted on a Mercedes ML 63 AMG (W164) featuring 520 hp, air suspension, and all-wheel drive – a powerful camera platform for stunning film shots in any environment.

One of its biggest advantages: the exceptional flexibility and speed with which the camera position can be changed. Whether it’s high-speed chase scenes, fluid one-takes, or action-packed driving maneuvers – the gyro-stabilized arm (available in 12′, 14′, or 18′ lengths) enables smooth, precise motion with full control, even with payloads up to 70 kg (154 lbs).

The entire system is operated from inside the vehicle – equipped with monitor rigs, intercoms, and maximum safety for the crew. Weatherproof, high-performance, and ready for any challenge.
