The Rare Vinten Peregrine Crane

Now this is interesting! The Vinten Peregrine was a failed experiment in camera crane technology. Designed to a BBC spec, it was delivered to Television Centre in 1965. The idea was to build a camera crane that would fit on the footprint of a Vinten ped, but have the range of a Mole crane and the flexibility of a Vinten Heron. It was designed to carry a standard sized mid-sixties monochrome camera equipped with an Angenieux zoom. It lasted a very short time and was hardly used at all.

THIS IS A VERY RARE, ONE AND ONLY VIDEO OF THE PEREGRINE IN ACTION! 

Vinten was just a little ahead of their time on this crane…only one or two ever made. All the details at this link http://www.tech-ops.co.uk/page147.html
