Achieve shots that were once only possible with advanced motorized setups with the Kessler Crane Parallax. This model is sized to fit the 3' Cineslider and provides fixed-point shooting capability. Using a flexible bar and a mechanical linkage, the Parallax can easily facilitate inward and outward panning motions to accompany the horizontal slider movement. This can be used, for example, to fix the camera on one subject during the slide; great for interviews and other shots of still subjects. Setting up is as easy as setting your camera's position at each end of the move's travel.

The design of the Parallax does not camera placement, and traditional slider functionality can be maintained without removing the Parallax from the slider. A motor can be added for autonomous control in situations where camera operation crew is not available or when precise control is required. With the separately available Parallax case, the entire system can be transported without requiring disassembly.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the payload capacity? It states 20lbs. But with a 20lb payload x3 for counter balance, you get 60lbs. Then when you add in the 27.5lbs needed to balance the crane without a payload, you get 87.5lbs of counterbalance weight. The manual states that you should not exceed 75lbs of counter balance. So that puts the max payload for a balanced crane at 16lbs. That is 20% less than the advertised max payload. So what is the true safe balanced payload capacity and counterweight capacity?

A: Please call us: 800.606.6969

Q: 4. What makes this head different from other $500 heads? Why would you buy it over a comparable manfrotto head? Are there special features I'm not seeing or aware of?

A: The one thing that is unique about this head, assuming you can find legs that will also have the same or higher weight capacity, is the payload rating of 150lb., which is unheard of on other heads in the same price range.

Q: 5. Does this provide proper vertical spacing on the rods for the Canon C500 mk II for a mattebox?

Q: 6. Can anyone recommend a good case for this? The soft case mine came with is great but not for travel. Im looking for something as small as possible that will protect it. Pelican is my last resort as they are a little heavy...Cheers!

A: Kessler makes a couple of different cases that is on their website. One is pretty much a rebranded Pelican, and the other is a tube style case. The tube case is still about as much as the pelican and needs padding added to make a 3' slider secure. the one thin i would say about pelican that I am glad i purchased was because there was room for all my second shooter stuff, which I am thrilled i purchased. The pelican case has wheels too so it doesn't make it unbearable. the 1720 is what i ended up with.

Q: 8. what is needede to use this with an ursa mini and sony a7s ii?

Q: 9. Does the vertical tilt lock down well when there is a heavy load on the head? The system we will be mounting will be 50+ lbs, and will need to sometimes be locked at an angle.

A: Yes, it locks very well. Two things...there is a locking pin that has to be pulled out and reinserted to lock the head AND the plate under the ball has to be reversed so the flat not curved side is against the ball. We use the Kessler Pocket Jib with a C300 and 45 lbs counterweight without issue.

Q: 10. What holes does it have to mount it on stands, 5/8" 3/8" or 14-20"?

A: The unit offers 5/8" 3/8" or 14-20" openings.
