We all know that a crane can help photographers capture dynamic shots and is an indispensable tool for film and television creation. Among them, the manual rocker is commonly known as the "small rocker". Compared with the large electronically controlled rocker, the manual rocker is shorter in length, more compact and lighter, and has a lower entry price. It is the first choice for many film and television entrepreneurial teams to purchase their own equipment. .
Several key points for using small rocker arms:
First of all, the small rocker arm is suitable for explaining the environment, and combined with the wider lens, it can show the scene to the audience in a more attractive way.
Secondly, the small swing arm can easily take high-altitude overhead shots that are impossible with a tripod, which is very practical in corporate video production.
Furthermore, when you learn to take advantage of the foreground, you can make the movement of the small rocker arm more prominent and textured.
In fact, the functions of small rocker arms and large rocker arms do not overlap in most applications, so they cannot be compared. A small crane is suitable for slow movement to render emotions. Indoors or in a small space, a small crane can quickly add vitality to the picture. The large range of movement of the large rocker arm is the creator of impact. Of course, you also need to invest more resources in transportation, installation and operation.
With the development of drones and electronic stabilizers, the status of large and small swing arms seems to be challenged, but they are still far from being completely replaced. Perhaps the electronic stabilizer can produce the effect of a manual rocker on some lenses, but the latter still maintains its own advantages, such as being cheap, easy to learn, the purely mechanical structure is stable and reliable, and the movement in the vertical direction is smoother. Perhaps the combination of electronic stabilizers and manual rockers is the future development direction that combines the best of both worlds.
