Questions & Answers

RORY H : Is this device portable or compact enough to use indoors to shoot real estate videos? Thanks in advance.MIKE M : This is pretty big for interior use unless you're shooting a church or a gymnasium. there is no way to shorten it so you will have a limited height movement in a typical home. You would have to have about a 12 foot clearance around the stand too or you'll be knocking into things.EQUALIZER I : This device is easy to setup and tear down. Works very well. Our device's movement mechanisms can get a bit stuck with excessive use and have to be maintained to stay fluid but overall a great unit.JASON D : Yes! You can use this indoors

About Kessler KC-Lite 8.0

Overcome your filmmaking challenges with the Kessler KC-Lite 8.0 Camera Crane, a top-tier solution in the "economy" crane market. This camera crane is specifically designed for filmmakers working on a budget, yet requiring high-quality equipment. It's an ideal match for lighter digital video or DSLR cameras weighing less than 10 pounds, making it a standout choice in the sub $400 price range.

Drawing inspiration from the design of the standard dual-rail KC series of camera cranes, the KC-Lite 8.0 Camera Crane is a single rail crane that doesn't require any tools for assembly. It's lightweight and portable, making it easy to transport to various shooting locations. Despite its portability, it doesn't compromise on strength, boasting a 3/8" thick ultra-rigid mounting plate that ensures stability and durability. You won't find any flimsy sheet metal on this crane!

What sets the KC-Lite 8.0 Camera Crane apart from other cranes in its price range is its unique mounting system. It mounts to your fluid head in a way that utilizes the fluid drag of the head's pan and tilt. This innovative feature provides superior control and fluid-like movements in all three modes of crane operation: manual tilt, fixed-angle mode, and automatic mode.

With an extended length of 8 feet, a folded length of 48 inches, and a vertical movement of 10.5 feet, the Kessler KC-Lite 8.0 Camera Crane offers flexibility and versatility for a wide range of shooting scenarios. Elevate your filmmaking experience with this high-quality, budget-friendly camera crane.
