There is a quarter twenty hole on it, just like you have on Once that's done, I mount the removable plate of my tripod to the base of the jib.
Can it? I say yes. It can be mounted upside down as shown by the measurements. A bit of mechanical know-how will be needed. It is necessary to remove the four fasteners on either side of the carbon fiber tubes, two on either side of each. The sealed bearings and washers are ejected from the front mount section when you remove the fasteners and pull it apart. I did it myself it was a little tricky getting the hardware in place, but it was possible.
It is possible to adjust the height of the front mount by adjusting the length of top or bottom carbon fiber tube extensions. Regardless of how high or low you raise or lower the boom, the angle of the boom will remain stable. There is no way for you to change the tilt radius as you move the boom up or down.
There is room for a BMPCC4K in this case. Our use of it is for that purpose. Make sure you are prepared to counter You may want to weight it at maximum extension since the BMPCC4K is heavy.

Although this machine is extremely simple, it is beautifully built, and I have no doubt it will last a long time if it is not abused (it is definitely not a "rental quality" super heavy machine) Hardware for heavy duty). As a bonus, I also own two microphone boom poles made from the same materials and produced by the same company (Sevenoak/Boya). It is literally a carbon tube and an aluminum collar with the same locking arrangement. I've used those two boom poles for many productions, trips, and shows in the past year and they've held up well. In other words, I am confident that this one will also be a success. The only regret I have is Consequently, the star was lost due to a malfunctioning of the system. While I was aware at the time I bought the unit that it does not have tilt capabilities, I was unaware of how much I would have appreciated tilt capabilities. However, I have used it with my Moza Air 2 gimbal (and my lightweight DSLR, the Fuji X-T1). My tilt, panning, and manual focus pulling are all performed smoothly and conveniently with the gimbal, which allows me to adjust the tilt as well as panning and manual focus. While having all of that mounted on the jib can be a hassle, the combination is absolutely spectacular and allows for some amazing, smooth, sweeping and big camera movements.
This tripod appears to be considerably cheaper than the very high-end models on the market, but is sturdy enough to support my video camera. It mounts on I did not realize that there is no way to lock the assembly in place because I didn't realize it had no locking mechanism. Essentially, the device allows you to move around, pivot, raise and lower as you capture either video or photos. Specifically, I need to secure one location into which my application can run. Luckily, the arm came with a hook for attaching weights or straps, so I can use it as I like. Many of the items I looked at had weights or other methods of securing them, although some stated that they were There is no reason to lower the rating because the item's description is accurate, I simply neglected to look at the details. This has been used for about a month now (weekdays), and it still works very well and is put up and taken down every day as needed.
In order to test this crane, I set it up. There's less than six pounds of weight in my camera rig. I snapped the top bar of the crane when I lifted it for the first time. We were fortunate that the rig was only a few inches off the ground and neither the camera nor the lens was In theory, I could return the crane, but I live in the middle of nowhere, so I would need to visit a UPS store to do so. In order to avoid a two-hour drive to the UPS store, I disassembled the crane and replaced the garbage bars with a piece of 10ft fence rail about 15 feet long, cut into 4 and 6 foot pieces for around $13. The only negatives are that it doesn't adjust and it might be a little heavier, but it works fine otherwise.
It's good for the price, but there are a few things to notice. I first noticed that the quality is very poor. I believe the "carbon fiber" is made of plastic coated with a coating, so if you tighten the locking knobs too much it may scratch the surface. It has even made creaking sounds and small crackling sounds when I moved it around or did this. You can't really follow the instructions well. The majority of it is assembled, but there are a few things that don't make sense. It was not obvious how some of the accessories were supposed to be used or mounted. Following the instructions does not guarantee success. This device comes with an optional mount which gives it a wider range of A very simple bracket is considered the optional mount, and the way it can be attached, with what is given, does not significantly help. By attaching it sideways to the normal mount, the camera can be mounted lower than the standard mount to get closer to the ground, or to turn left or right, which is cheaper than having it mounted sideways. Moreover, not only does it not have a good mounting option, I wouldn't trust it to hold my camera.
Thanks to this jib, I am able to take unique, professional pictures. I consider it a very important part of the production process.
The piece is scratched, missing parts, awkward, extremely poor quality, and Some times you get what you pay for here you truly get what you pay for.
Items feel cheap and sometimes act up, so there is a risk of malfunction.
It is light, but solid. Video can be shot above obstacles because it extends to a length that is reasonable. This gun balances well and makes panning and elevation easy.
