GF-9

Lightweight, modular reach for remote heads.

The GF-9 is a lightweight, modular crane built for remote-head operation. It builds as small as 1 m (3') and extends to 10.1 m (33'), carrying a 25 kg (55 lbs) remote head and camera at full height — and at least 30 kg (66 lbs) in every smaller build, up to 45 kg (99 lbs). The light construction does not cost it stiffness at the nose. It goes onto most common dollies through a Euro adapter or Mitchell mount, or onto the dedicated GF-Tripod, and every part of it packs and rigs without a second crew.

From one metre to ten

The GF-9 builds in ten discrete versions — every stage between the 1 m minimum and the full arm is a defined, documented configuration. The angle adjuster system does the trick: the same sections work at every length, with no special front or back extensions along the way.

  • Ten arm versions from 1 m to 10.1 m
  • Lightweight aluminium parts, extremely stable arm
  • From 92 kg (202 lbs) transport weight — without counterweights and dolly
  • Surface-hardened Hart-Coat® finish
  • TÜV certified and safety type tested

GF-Base Dolly with mounting column and telescopic push bar

GF-Base Dolly

The arm builds onto the dolly’s mounting column, with a Euro adapter or Mitchell mount on top and telescopic supports bracing the column back to the chassis. Both ends steer independently, and the wheels swap between studio floor and track.

GF-Tripod, the stainless steel stand for cranes and heavy camera rigs

GF-Tripod

The stainless steel stand for jobs where a dolly is more than the shot needs. Locking pins hold every height, levelling happens on the spot, and the pivot sits at 1.7 m (5'8") — folded, the whole stand travels as one piece.
