In Georgia the use of cranes and platforms is a normal activity. A camera crane is a lifting machine that enables a cinematographer to shoot scenes up and away from the action in a scene. The crane may accommodate both the camera and the operator, or it may be operated by remote control. Other types of platforms that may be rented include: boom, man, and scissor lifts, forklifts, scaffolding and light towers. Dollies may also be secured with cameras on aircraft wings, or other aerial equipment like a blimp.
