Dear Dennis, cheers. You will weigh just under 2 lbs with the battery and lens attached to your Canon T6i. It can lift weight up to 8 pounds, so any camera you want to use on this crane will be able to attach to it. The overslung camera mount includes an extension plate for lens lengths up to 120 mm, so you may want to get that if you use a long lens. Thanks a lot!
As far as the extension goes, you can remove it. As far as the weight, I'm not quite sure if I want to say it's 5 pounds. It weighs six However, I assume it can support more if you have a sturdy tripod and enough counterweight at the backend to balance it out. This should be of help.
use the ProAm USA Crane in its 8-foot version, you will need to use a lifeline. A 10 ft HDMI cable will work best in your configuration. A 12 ft HDMI cable will work as well. Our 15 feet are configured in the following way It would be best to use HDMI cable. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us. The American Pro Am Association
There are no weight plates of any other size except standard

Minor cosmetic wear is evident on the product upon arrival (scratching on the corners, small dents at the corners, etc. ) However, it is not detrimental if you plan to use it in the field. This was something I could avoid anyway, so it made no difference to me. With the addition of the Pan and Tilt Head, it will be a perfect combination. It's very well built and looks like it'll last a lifetime. After reading only a few pages of the manual, I assembled it in no more than six minutes. A key benefit is that it is "idiot-proof" in the way it was designed and the setup process as well. While I had experience with more complex cranes, I did not use any tools during the setup, not even a screw driver. If you are a one man band, keep that in mind so you don't end up searching for a screw driver in the middle of the You'll have it up and running in a matter of Also, make sure to keep in mind that I bought the monitor arm and stand separately. Despite the fact that it came well packaged by UPS, the different pieces of the monitor arm stayed together within the box (stand). The first thing you should notice is that there are two different brands of cranes on Amazon, Proaim and Proam, which I didn't know existed. It was actually my fault because I thought I would buy Proaim first, but the Proaim ended up looking a lot better than the one I was planning on buying, so I am quite glad I made the In terms of integrity as compared to Proaim, i do not know since I am not an engineer to know, but it surely looks prettier and has a better feel in my opinion, and everyone who knows me, knows that I am not easily impressed. As a buyer, I do not expect more quality than what I pay for, but this crane exceeded my expectations and made me pleased with my purchase. A smooth descent and ascent, and a smooth pan and tilt can be found in the movie. In fact, I have bought the extension also, so it goes a lot higher than the smallest crane I have, which is why I keep it. Oh, and I really don't appreciate people buying equipment just to give it a bad review because they don't understand how it works. Jimmy jibs take some experience and practice to learn how to use so do not even think of leaving a negative review.
I would recommend it to anyone. I like this very much! You're the best! I'm so glad I bought it! In addition to my current 4ft, 6ft, and now this 8ft with a 4ft extender to make 12ft, I also own a 6ft and 6ft with an extender. When shooting indoor crane work and outdoor crane work, it is nice to have the variety. This one does require two people to put together and to take Considering its size, it needs a lot of space. As well as using a saw horse when balancing the camera and weights on it, you should prop the camera up with a saw horse to prevent resting on the ground until the weights and camera are evenly distributed.
There are few better deals out there for the price. As well as the stand and carrying case, it zips up quite nicely and it isn't too heavy to carry around. The setup is really quick and easy, and can even be done by Counting the number of shots I needed with the extension arm attached but no camera on the end, I found that I needed about There is a total of five pounds (two sevens). I gave five out of five and a two out of two. The balance above is a good place to start, so you're off to a good start. With their stand and mount, I'm finding that there is not enough drag to allow for pans. The speed of the machine will probably be slowed down with cork shims or something else. A nice jib all around.
Once I purchased some iron weights from my local big box sporting goods store, it took me about 5 minutes to set it up. Two nights later, I put it on a live stream I did of a concert at a local venue (clearly prior to the concert itself) The owner and the manager agreed on the terms). As the Canon XA-400 was used to get some amazing shots, I was able to get a few amazing photos of the band Flying over the crowd, they saw ten planes. This auto-correct feature This level feature was excellent, as I had a guy operating it who had never used a jib before, and he did an excellent job! The Canon base had a $129 motorized tilt and pan system from Bescor from Amazon (Bescor from Amazon) to give it the extra lift. An extension cable extends the cable's length. There was an extension cord running (110-volts) So I could avoid swapping batteries all night long, I put a power supply up the boom arm to power the camera and motor. I did not receive the bag for the transport, but I have ordered the storage and mobility bag since. The tripod for the boom is also equipped with sand bags. There was no problem with stability for me, but I think having them in the future would be a good idea. Getting those sweeping shots with a DSLR is an excellent option for those who are pressed for time, but are on a budget. This is a highly recommended book!.
The reason why I selected this crane after studying different brands was it was easy to breakdown and assemble, it was automatic or manual, even though I researched other brands This product caught my eye because of the tilt, its price, and the positive reviews about it I read. In my experience, I am completely satisfied with my purchase after opening it up and playing with it for a while. This is a very smooth pan and tilt device and it is easy to assemble. As soon as you buy the additional $60 bearing mount, it will be necessary if your fluid head is not sturdy enough. In the absence of this information, a tripod mount will not allow you to pan I highly recommend this.
Despite the fact that this ProAm DVC200 Camera Jib Crane is a super smooth product, I give this product five stars because it has such a high level of quality. You can do so many amazing things with the 360 degree mobility, and it is so amazing how tall you can get with a total height of 12 feet. Consider getting the extra 4 feet extension if you are willing to spend a few extra dollars. There are a lot more spectacular shots to be had from 12 feet. That's what I love about.
I was debating whether I ought to buy one from Kessler Crane or this one. It is a beautiful book and I am so happy that I bought it. There are no problems with it and it works well. As well as dolly track system, I plan on buying money I saved from saving. If I need to purchase film gear in the future, I'll definitely choose ProAm. If you are on the fence between models, this is the one to get! Don't hesitate to buy it! You won't be disappointed.
It is a good choice, especially if you have a tight.
