Rated 5 out of 5

Great quality. No headaches, it just works!

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.

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

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.

Surprisingly solid

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!

Love it!!

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!!
