Yes you can!

If you need a camera crane that is lightweight, easy to relocate and available in 2D, 3D and even underwater, then you need a Polecam.

Polecam is a unique, single operator camera crane that, simply put, allows you to put a crane where you can't put a crane,. Designed specifically to be lightweight and easily transportable, it rigs in under 15 minutes and de-rigs in less than 10 allowing multiple re-positioning resulting in greater production values.

Chris Taber, HD Polecam Owner Operator

Chris Taber of Pedestal Television is one of the worlds leading Polecam operators. His Polecam rig, the worlds most advanced, uses the Toshiba HD Minicam to provide native 16:9, 1080i pictures of a quality never before achieved by such a small camera head.

The remote pan and tilt head is operated with a joystick and allows full 360 degree control.

The length of the carbon fibre pole is configurable by the number of sections slotted together from 1.5 to 8 metres (5 to 26 feet) and this length can be reconfigured quickly during a shoot, without tools.

Any recorder that has an HD SDI input is compatible with the Polecam system. Chris uses Flash XDR units that record HD video onto Compact Flash cards. At the end of a shoot footage is simply downloaded to the clients laptop or external hard drive. It records in either .mov or MXF files for use with FCP or Avid.
