ARRI offers a vast range of suspension equipment for TV studios and theaters, incorporating pantographs, hoists and telescopes, as well as various rail systems, carriages and accessories that free up studio floor space by situating the lighting overhead.

This ARRI X-Fly 80E 21' Motorized Pantograph has an improved scissors mechanism with a torsion-resistant oval shaped profile and a stabilizing bushing pin assembly that guarantees exceptional stability and smooth movement. Clips to attach flexible cables onto the scissors are included. The X-Fly 80E has a cup switch for up/down control via operating pole or can make height adjustments remotely via a wall panel.

The drive unit has a very compact aluminum transmission group and a redesigned drum winding system for two 2.5 mm diameter steel cables with an accurate router to avoid cross winding. The system is, under static and dynamic conditions self-sustaining, which removes the need for mechanical braking systems and reduces the maintenance requirements to a minimum.
