The Tulip has a strange history. Mention it to any American grip over the age of 35 and he'll wince. I used it once, years ago just as it was falling out of favor. I did see one recently at Disneyland as part of a display with Mickey and Donald, however. You still find them on Ebay every now and then.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466991423411721535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-6999492952642893982010-07-08T13:50:18.838-07:002010-07-08T13:50:18.838-07:00I see nobody has mentioned two early workhorses, t...I see nobody has mentioned two early workhorses, the Tulip and the Skymote / Super Skymote. Both rock-solid and really the first good and truly portable cranes. In their size range (under 27'), there's still nothing that sets up faster or is more stable. They had an undeservedly poor rep in the US and UK.<br /><br />I had a Pegasus, with a custom shelved out truck to move it around, and enjoyed it a lot. The GFM cranes do indeed seem to be the top of the line cranes now.<br /><br />A lot of the Akela /Strada market went to the Supertechno 50, is my guess. <br /><br />Sanjay, when asked about setup time, I used to say we could set up the crane faster than the director could figure out what he was going to do with it! :)<br /><br />WickWicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-36655960716941083082010-07-08T07:24:52.528-07:002010-07-08T07:24:52.528-07:00I'm kind of over cranes .Too much standing.I'm kind of over cranes .Too much standing.crisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-17823036166572606132010-07-07T20:19:45.753-07:002010-07-07T20:19:45.753-07:00Hi Douglas,

It works great for paning the arm over expanses, and simulates helicopter POVs.<br />You had better know exactly what you want to do with it. Ive used it extensively (I am 50% owner of one) when it first came out and was a hell of a novelty. It used to go out all the time. More often than not, the shot was not thought out well, we had humped it to a difficult location, the shot did not work, and now its sitting in frame.<br />It can be beautiful to work with, but god help you if theres wind.<br />I used it on a movie called "The Fall". I had to do a lot of moves that were dead centre drop downs framing architecture in symetry . Even the slightest wind blowing makes your muscles work like you are wrangling a rampaging rhinoceros .<br />When the shot is well thought out it can make some great shots.<br /><br />BTW - now that the novelty has worn off, it hardly ever goes out ... but we had a good run for some years.The Grip Workshttp://www.thegripworks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-24219481547558755922010-07-07T18:17:57.917-07:002010-07-07T18:17:57.917-07:00Hi Douglas.

It is used a good bit for things like helicopter povs and things too I think. It's not a crane you would use except in special applications but it does what it does well.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466991423411721535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-41405515849377849622010-07-07T13:50:41.939-07:002010-07-07T13:50:41.939-07:00Have you ever worked with any of the Strada cranes...Have you ever worked with any of the Strada cranes? Those things are massive...100 feet reach, with an operator (kind of).<br /><br />They have a nice demo video, and have worked a lot of large projects, but I've never heard from anyone who has used them.Douglas Burnettehttp://www.burnettecreative.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18888640.post-3463682547002510212010-07-06T20:11:31.765-07:002010-07-06T20:11:31.765-07:00Enjoy your Vodka !!

Not the GF-9 (very light) but the GF-10 is a fantastic step forward on the Phoenix/ Pegasus. The GF-16 is the big brother of the 10, but is truly a wonderful crane. Really well thought out. You can build it with centre post low, and once you are completely built up and weighted up, you can lift the column up by crank. The crank is really clever as well. It is mechanical, but you can use a screw gun with the appropriate bit to raise it electrically.The Grip Workshttp://www.thegripworks.comnoreply@blogger.com
