Hydrascope 40

Chapman Leonard is proud to be the manufacturer of the Hydrascope telescopic crane, which is manufactured in the USA at our facility. The Hydrascope is operated by a hydraulic system, providing smooth and fluid movements. The Hydrascope is also waterproof, meaning it can be used for a variety of applications from rain scenes, water submersion, and weathers well in harsh and dusty conditions. The unique Hydrascope feature is the rotary handset, designed to give the same booming operation feel as a dolly. These features make the Hydrascope a great choice for filmmakers who need a reliable and efficient crane, that can handle the harshest location. Sizes include 70', 50', 40', 32', 20', and 15’. The Hydrascopes are all capable of heavy cameras and head payloads. The nose allows for quick over to under-slung rotation in seconds. The Hydrascope is a strong and reliable telescopic crane that is suitable for use in any type of environment.
