September 2022. Avenger, the world’s leading manufacturer of Cinema, Broadcast, Entertainment, Video and Content Creation production equipment announces the launch of Buccaneer.
Avenger’s Buccaneer is a revolutionary heavy-duty cine lighting support created to respond to demands from the industry to provide a low loading height, TÜV certified wind-up stand that achieves a maximum height of 3m/9.84ft.
There has been a huge focus on safety on set of productions in recent years and we’re fully onboard with this! Avenger’s operator safety has always been our biggest priority, which is why we offer one of the industry’s largest ranges of TÜV, CE and UKCA certified grip and support equipment on the market. This certification offers a guarantee to the user that the product has been thoroughly tested by an impartial external body ensuring they meet the most stringent safety guidelines in order to help protect everyone on set.
So, when we were repeatedly asked by our users for a low loading wind-up stand with a maximum height of 3m/9.84ft that would help improve safety on set by reducing the chance of injury from heavy manual lifting, we put the challenge to our industry leading team of engineers in Italy, the brief included four must-have specifications;
- Low loading height of 94cm/3.1ft, eliminating the need for multiple crew members to dangerously lift heavy lights above shoulder height.
- 3m/9.84ft maximum height, for optimum light positioning on set
- 80kg/176.3lbs max payload, to support the industry’s leading lights
- TÜV certified, to assure users we produce the safest supports on the market
