My first crane, but I have a lot of other photo/video gear. You know it's great when equipment just works, and this does.
Easy to setup, adjust, and smooth to operate.
I chose this one because of the additional adjustments that can be made to the camera angle from the mount.
Highly recommended.

Great quality. No headaches, it just works!

This is my first crane, but I have a lot of other photo/video gear. This is a quality piece of equipment.
It's easy to setup, easy to adjust, it just works well.
I chose this specifically because of the additional adjustments available for camera angle during filming.
I did add a monitor bracket to one of the several mounting holes and that helps with exact placement.
Soft case is nice, although it's not a lot of protection if you are hard on your gear.

Very well made. Easy to balance and smooth operation. A winner.

I pushed this thing beyond its limits, adding 20 lbs of counter weight and with a rig of 16-17 lbs. On a tripod not really made for this amount of weight. And the Crane surprisingly held the rig solid and travelled smooth with just the right amount of tension. I was worried I may have to return the unit, but after trying it, I'm definitely keeping it and using it on future productions. Solid!

Surprisingly solid

Yes, it is expensive. Am I regret? Absolutely not. I love the quality and usability. I used to spend money on cheaper alternatives for tripod and fluid head,, then ended up buying Manfrotto later. This time I went straight for the best.  I use it for kids soccer game and works great!!
