Product description

• VZ-SNAPCRANE16 Snapcrane The VariZoom SnapCrane VZ-SNAPCRANE16 is the extended configuration in the SnapCrane camera crane series. It offers 16'6" vertical extension and comes with a tripod, dolly and case.
  Crane
  • The SnapCrane is a compact, modular crane design. It offers various configurations for specific applications.
  All Four Set-Ups
  • This configuration allows the user to set-up in all four configurations.
  Tripod
  • Utilizing specialty heavy-gauge tubing for the single-section legs and a solid baseplate machined from a block over 2.5" thick, the TC-100 is built to extreme standards of rigidity and durability. The stainless-steel leveling feet offer up to 3" of adjustment, while the padded carrying case makes transport comfortable and safe.
  Dolly
  • Accommodating heavy or light tripods with mid level spreaders, this platform is ideal for moving large setups over flat ground. Locking wheels keep your tripod immobile during the shoot. When you are finished filming, this dolly folds down into a compact size for easy transportation to your next location.
• Cinema Pro Jr (Jibstick-only, Power Supply, Hard Travel Case) The VariZoom Cinema Pro Jr (Jibstick-only, Power Supply, Hard Travel Case) is a digital motion control system that includes the Jib Stick controller, power supply unit, and a hard travel case. You are offered a scaled down version of the Cinema Pro digital motion control system with 30% reduced programming, speed, and load capability. You can use the motion control system for cameras weighing up to 35 lb and achieve maximum pan/tilt speeds of 110-120°/sec. The system also integrates a precision enclosed drivetrain for enhanced performance. The Cinema Pro Jr also includes the Jib Stick controller that provides smoothing and speed control along with manual pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities. The Cinema Pro Jr supports multiple control input options. You can move and record to marked positions, and achieve programmable maximum speeds and smoothing for each motor. Operator commands are precisely conveyed from the controller across a distance of up to 2500’ to the head. You can also program the motion limits and achieve servo tuning of the motors via the remote console. Serial and Analog lens control coupled with zoom compensation for high-quality and smooth shots at telephoto is available for Fujinon, Canon, and Preston lenses. You can leverage the high rigidity of the digital motion control system to achieve accurate and smooth motion of long lenses. It is ideal for portable crane or jib-based operations, and weighs 13 lb and measures 21 x 6 x 11.4”. Note:
