VariZoom VZ-SNAPCRANE9 9' (2.7m) Crane & Pan/Tilt System

VariZoom VZ-SNAPCRA Features

• Micro-Adjust Counterweight: Custom stainless steel counterweight mechanism has over 20" of sliding adjustment for rapid fine-tuning of counterbalance, improving precision and eliminating the tedium of adding and removing smaller plates. (This is a significant feature upgrade over the QuickJib)
• Tilting Camera Platform: Lightweight machined camera platform connects to the end of the crane with deluxe quick-release pins that insert through sealed radial ball bearings, resulting in silent, smooth motion. A built-in spirit level for quick reference and adjustment
• Jib Arm / Crane Body: Crane sections made from stiff, lightweight tubing are precision machined and powder coated before assembly and quality inspection. The upper extension section has a truss pattern cut into the sidewalls to retain strength while minimizing weight
• Case and Sleeves: Each arm section stores in its own padded nylon protective sleeve that slides snugly into the heavy-duty lightweight standard soft case or the optional ultra-duty rolling case protecting the SnapCrane's finish and creating a tight fit within either rugged case for secure transport
• Ultra-smooth high-capacity pan/tilt base is built to exacting standards with oversize fasteners, sealed bearings and beefy construction for a remarkably stable fulcrum point. Superior design, proud craftsmanship and the finest components set this base apart from those used in other crane systems
• Machined Dovetail Joints: Dovetail joint assembly allows for quick, extremely secure no-tools connection with redundant safety locks. A hefty stainless steel latch (w/internal safety catch) clamps the joint from above while a secondary thumbscrew assures a tight and secure fit from below
• Deluxe Quick-Release Pins: Locking stainless aircraft pins of the highest quality and strength are used at the pivot points and they are attached by lanyard to prevent them from ever being lost
• Cables and Couplings: Modular cable system boosts crane stability and rigidity while keeping overall weight down by allowing to use a single line of compact lightweight tubing for the main arm. The superior-quality cable tensioning system keeps the SnapCrane taut rock solid and easy to control
• SnapCrane comes standard with VariZoom's new lightweight, heavy-duty Soft Case. This case has three reinforced handles along with a hefty shoulder strap, thick padding and rubber feet. It can be used for other jibs, as well. Also available for purchase is the optional rolling hard case
• DCR100 Dolly: heavy-duty dolly has an ample spread, rugged solid-rubber wheels, foot brakes and a positive leg-locking system that securely captures TCR100 crane tripod. Includes padded carrying case
• TCR100 Crane Tripod: The TCR100 was designed with safety and strength in mind, combining a solid machined baseplate (not molded), specialty heavy-gauge tubing and oversized leveling feet for an ultra-stable design that will never falter or fail
