I have a 6 foot camera crane (or jib… not quite sure of which term to use here). The photo shows the crane with the Sony camera mounted at one end and a monitor and counter weights down at the other end. The lens was made by Topcor over 50 years ago. My father used it with his full frame, 35mm SLR still camera.  It’s mounted on the Sony camera via an adapter.

I set up a small test still life and shot a few test shots. The best of the bunch is presented below. The camera was 21 inches from the subjects, the aperture was f5 and shutter speed 1/60th of a second. It appears that the camera is moving straight up and down. That’s the benefit of a crane; the camera is not still and panning but is actually following the subjects. At this close range there is an interesting circular swaying at the camera end of the crane. I could not eliminate it. I used the same crane for a few shots in Nudged and that swaying was not apparent.  Those shots were of objects farther away and entailed bigger movements of the crane, so the swaying was not obvious.
