Looks like it is lifting (or lowering) equipment from the ground to the platform(?). I finally stumbled upon an image showing the Apollo LUT hammerhead crane in use. Perhaps the LUT crane on ML-1 was also used to build the milkstool. It looks like the LUT crane was used when the cracked fins were replaced on the Skylab 4 Saturn IB at pad 39B in November 1973. Now that you mention it, I can't immediately remember reading about or seeing the LUT crane being used for anything. Kennedy Space Center).Īdditionally, a VAB Fact Sheet contains a bit of information about the bridge cranes' capabilities and "close tolerances," which were "required for proper mating of Saturn V stages and the Apollo spacecraft." The LUT crane wouldn't have been able to handle the S-IC or S-II, which weighed in at about 144 and 37.5 tons, respectively (reference Ground Support Equipment and Launch Installations at John F. The VAB's big bridge cranes had capacities of 250 and 175 tons. ![]() It looks like the LUT crane's capacity was 25 tons (e.g., AS-506 Technical Information Summary, p. Yes, the VAB cranes were using for erected the Saturn Vs. I have been watching a few films on the Saturn V assembly and can't see any evidence that the Colby crane on top of the launch umbilical tower (LUT) was used when stacking on the mobile launch platform (MLP).Īnyone know if that is the case? Was it used only outside of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) perhaps? Topic: Saturn V rocket assembly: LUT crane Profile | register | preferences | faq | search ![]() Thanks also again to Tarn and Lance at .Saturn V rocket assembly: LUT crane - collectSPACE: Messages You need to play with files from this camera yourself, vimeo truly is the great equalizer and i can't wait for the H265 replacement to H264. I don't normally say this, but even compressing this video for upload was a disappointment compared to the Prores from Resolve. Thanks again to Blackmagic and the hardworking team there for everything they're doing and for allowing me to be a part of the process, it's truly appreciated.Īll footage was shot Prores 4K. I can see people LOVING the images from this camera, i know i do. I went for quite a contrasty/saturated grade with most of this to see if i could push it 'there' (combined with my LUT i made it for it). This time the BMDFilm coming from the camera has a lot more contrast and saturation than the previous two, so you don't have to do anywhere near as much to grade it (but yes i already have a LUT i've made/been using with it to speed things up even more). Honestly i kind of went into this thinking i probably wouldn't like this camera as much as the other two, but right now i like it more! The images are really nice, really really nice. I didn't think global shutter would be a big deal for me, but i LOVE the motion from this camera, and the colour is what i would expect from BMD (i REALLY like it). The rest (and bulk) of the footage as i said is just me grabbing footage when i had the chance (busy time of year for everyone!), but i'm still impressed with this camera. What was interesting to me is that this was a night shoot and i had the camera set at ASA400 (had already tested at night with 800 which is at the end of this video) and the red was at 1200 yet Kent and I were both surprised the Blackmagic looked brighter on the monitors! The shots i've included in this video are random clips i picked myself and don't reflect the edit or final video (still in progress as i write this). After the first couple of shots of the shoot, Kent and Tarn (Director) were loving the 4K and it basically became 'A Cam'. Kent Belcher was the main DP for this shoot and a Red MX was to serve as 'A Cam' with me operating the 4K as 'B Cam'. I went out and grabbed footage like with the previous two cameras just to see how it did 'out in the wild', but i also arranged with my good friends Tanya and Lance from The Storyboard to bring the camera onto a music video they were working on with me as 2nd Unit DP. ![]() ![]() I've had the pleasure and privilege to be testing out the BMD 4K the last little while.
