  • ProAm Crane Opens Up Great Possibilities
A camera crane is a tool that when properly used can be helpful in obtaining stunning video shots BUT like the zoom lens it must be used carefully and with purpose. I purchased the ProAm DVC200 on Amazon along with The ProAm stand. This package came with free shipping which saved almost $40.00. The crane portion comes in two parts which can be attached together without the use of additional tools. Ordered with the stand the crane has the proper adaptor for attachment (also without tools). It can be ordered for use with a tripod and will then come with the appropriate mount. Using a crane requires the right equipment and some practice. The video camera needs to have the ability to attach a TV monitor and remote controls to it in order to frame your picture and start and stop your camera. It also requires balancing weights at the end of the crane. My set up consists of a Panasonic HMD-40 camera with a remote control manufactured by Studio 1 in Florida that lets me start and stop the camera as well as control the zoom speed, the lens focus and the iris. Depending on your camera a kit can be purchased that includes a remote control, a TV monitor and a bracket that attaches to the side of the crane. In my case the Panasonic camera required a different type of remote control. For a TV I adapted a Coby 7" portable digital LCD TV by making a metal plate to attach to the crane and attaching industrial strength velcro strips to the plate and the back of the TV. When I can I will upgrade to a better monitor but until then this works. The crane is very well designed and reasonably light. A four foot extension is available that changes the crane from 8' to 12' and can be purchased later. So far I have found that a crane works best when using wide angle lens settings. The crane is difficult to get stable start and stop pictures but works very well as a moving device. Zooming can be effectively used in moving shots with practice to great effect but the wide angle will give much better results at the starting and stopping positions. The camera platform has several mounting holes but to get the steadiest camera shots the camera should be mounted as close as possible to the crane siding. All in all the ProAm Crane is a well constructed piece of equipment that if used properly can be a creative tool for professional looking video. Like the zoom lens the crane must have a reason for being used. This is a good piece of equipment at a decent price. ... show more

  • Worth it? Yes, twice over!
My Jib Crane arrived 2 days before the projected delivery so walking into the office seeing that big box felt like Christmas morning as a kid. I tore into it, expecting complex instructions, but everything was self explanatory and it took longer to get the protective wrap off than it did to assemble. That's a sign of solid, well thought out design. Sturdy construction, no flex, smooth as silk, and stable! I ordered the suggested stand in addition to this jib because it just makes sense. Everything is sturdy and the crane has a wonderful matte finish that just says BC went the distance. Everything fits together as planned without drama or buyers regret. I'm 100% thrilled with both items. The only thing that I don't like... No carrying case. This is such a great deal already, so I don't think anyone should be discouraged from buying it... as a note to BC Media... Bags are cheap to make, but hard to find. If you did that homework for me it would have just been that little extra step to show guys like me that you're covering all bases (no pun intended). All together great! Send me some transport gear and I'm head over heels... :) I'd hate to scratch beauty with it banging around the trunk. Keep up the hard work guys! ... show more

  • A great jib for the price, but tradeoffs
Let me make this clear, it works and you can't get much cheaper for a nicely built item. Several things to note though: - You will need a very large and stable tripod that can support a ton of weight - It takes a lot of fiddling with the nuts and bolts to get everything nice and tight and even then it's not perfect but quite good - Chances are you will have to mount a tripod head on the end to get a level shot, it never seems to be level, you have to tighten the bolts so tight to get it level that you then can't move it. A tripod head is an easy fix. ... show more

  • Can't believe it...
I received my proam crane today. I needed it to arrive by friday because I'm traveling abroad so I contacted the seller to make sure it would arrive on time. They responded immediately, were very helpful and immediately shipped my item, I ended up getting it 2 days early. Upon opening the crane and stand, I set it up and was blown away. I can't believe how high quality the product is and how high it will really go. I ordered it with the stand, it works with just a tripod but the stand build is actually really thick (not clunky), I was unsure about ordering the stand but I'm glad I did. It's worth the $60 The DVC200 is an 8' jib and I thought it wouldn't be high enough and I would need to buy the extension eventually but 8' plus the stand which expands a lot, the jib gets way higher than I thought. I haven't measured the maximum height yet but I guarantee it's at least 12' I did my homework all over the web, I came down to the proam and the indiesystem jib but I decided on the proam because I believed they gave you more for your money and I was right, it really is an incredible deal. No I don't work for them but after this I just might apply. Thanks ... show more

  • Good value for the Money
The two best items I like about this camera crane is the ease of set up and the price. Some of things I Don't like is some of the plastic fasteners look like they will break in the future,but you can get better fasteners at the local Home Depot.The other thing about this crane I Don't like is the little bounce you get at the end of the camera move. I have been practicing with it and found that I need to use really slow movements to avoid the bounce. Something else I might try is putting a little weight at the front end and see if this eliminates the bounce. If you are using a DSLR it s ideal for this Crane. I added a heavier camera and had allot of bounce on the movements. I actually would like to hear from others who own this crane, if they experienced the same problems and if they were able to solve the bounce issue.
