Are you in search of a professional-grade camera crane that offers unparalleled flexibility, stability, and durability Look no further than the VZSC-CPM3 SnapCrane Camera Crane with CPM-K3 Remote Head. This comprehensive package includes a CP Micro K3, a 16' SnapCrane, a VZ-TCR100 Tripod, and a VZ-DCR100 Dolly, providing you with a complete, ready-to-use system.

The SnapCrane is renowned for its modular lightweight construction, stainless quick-release pins with lanyards, and locking dovetail joints. Its superior craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from its dynamic speed control that ranges from an imperceptible creep up to 130 degrees per second, to its maintenance-free, high-power drivetrain that holds the camera position.

The SnapCrane also boasts advanced features such as native frame-accurate motion control capability, an advanced intervalometer for time-lapse and stop motion, and the ability to record and play back up to 2000 moves or 1 hour of recorded time. The camera sync ensures frame-accurate playback, while the easily adjustable single-lock camera platform offers user convenience.

The SnapCrane kit also includes a dolly, tripod, and carrying case, ensuring that you have everything you need for a successful shoot. The crane sections are made from stiff, lightweight tubing that is precision machined and powder coated for durability. The upper extension section features a truss pattern cut into the sidewalls to retain strength while minimizing weight and reducing air resistance.

The modular cable system boosts crane stability and rigidity, while the marine-grade stainless steel hardware ensures long-term field reliability.

The package also includes a heavy-duty dolly with a positive leg-locking system and a custom TCR100 crane tripod, designed specifically for use with the dolly. The tripod uses a solid machined baseplate, specialty heavy-gauge tubing, and oversize leveling feet for an ultra-stable design.
