Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. can I mount the Manfrotto 509HD on here and still be able to mount the Kessler Crane KC-12 on top of the manfrotto head?

A: You should be able to mount any bowl head to the kpod with the right accessories. I don't have the kc-12, but I assume as long as the kc-12 has 1/4 or 3/8 mounting holes it should work with your manfrotto. That being said, I don't think you'll be satisfied with the setup as your manfrotto head won't be able to take on that much load. Crane + Camera + Counterweights would certainly go over the 29lb capacity of that head.

Q: 2. How is it moving the tripod? The listed 22 pound weight feels like it's going to be a real pain to move around a set or location.

A: Add the wheels and it's actually quite easy, very sturdy.

Q: 3. Does the Aktiv8 head work with VCT-14 quick release plate? Old school Sony, has 1/4 and 3/8 screws. How does the pin work with that?

A: Yes, the Sony VCT-14 plate will mount onto the Sachtler's aktiv8 quick release plate. The Sony plate has a series of 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 ports underneath that are spaced out so that the pin will sit in the 3/8"-16 port when screwing in the 1/4"-20. Apart from that, the aktiv8 main feature is centered around how the head mounts and clamps onto the tripod legs. This is a perfect setup for integrating with a VCT style workflow.

Q: 4. Load capacity is between 16KG to 75KG. What does that mean? Will it take my Sony Venice with a Leica Summilux, on its rig and raw recorder, one monitor etc.?

A: This has a load capacity between 35 to 145 lb or 16 to 65 kg. You will need to weigh out your gear to see if it works within that capacity.

Q: 5. Can you please tell me, is it possible to clamp a Super Clamp to the tripod legs? (For example: The Manfrotto 035RL which has a jaw opening of 2.1"). In advance, thank you for your help with this.

A: Yes that is possible. We even recommend this Impact Super Clamp with Ratchet Handle, B&H # IMCC106R, which also has a 2.1" opening. https://bhpho.to/2cFjAwj

Q: 6. Is the plate on this an Arca-Swiss? Wondering if the Zacuto C70 cage would mount on the Aktiv6.

A: no, it is not an Arca-Swiss. Zacuto bottom plate has a 1/4" and 3/8" connection which will work with the aktiv6 camera plate

Q: 7. Does the Leofoto YB-75LK fit into this tripod's bowl?

A: Yes it will

Q: 8. Does the standard Manfrotto mounting plate fit this head?

A: It does not. This does not use Manfrotto style plates.

Q: 9. What are the dimensions when closed with the wheels attached? Looks amazing but might be too bulky and wide/thick

A: The Kessler Crane K-Pod Tripod System has a Folded Dimension of 39" x 10.75" x 10" and weight is 22lbs. With dolly attached it would add about 5 inches.

Q: 10. How do I mount the Kessler crane on this tripod?

A: The best bet is to get the Hercules Head and a Kessler quick release plate for it.
