Q: 5. I was wondering if anyone knew the compatibility of this with a Sony A7sii? We use these for our Canon xf 305's on a jib head for live events, but for production we like to use these on jibs with A7sii. Looking for something compatible with both.

A: This is not compatible with the A7SII. This will only work with LANC compatible cameras. It will work with the XF305, but it will not work with an A7SII.

Q: 8. Can the snap crane (8 or 9') be adapted to mount on a 100 mm bowl tripod? I want to set my pivot point closer to three feet from the ground.

A: No, it's not possible to mount this over 100 lbs. precisely balanced VariZoom SnapCrane9 9' Crane & Pan/Tilt System (B&H# VAVZSC9) on a 100mm bowl tripod. However, using the included tripod you can certainly dip the height of the camera to even below the height of the floor -- say, into a hole or over a cliff. In fact, in the video on this page you can see that the operator cranes down below the height of the surface on which the tripod is positioned and into the water of a swimming pool.

Q: 9. Does this comes with the controller for the Tilt and Pan Control System for the operator?

A: Yes it does. This system comes with the VariZoom VZ-MC100 Pan and Tilt Control System, B&H # VAVZSC16100, which does have a control box.

Q: 10. Will this work with my Canon HF M50?

A: The Canon HFM50 does not have a LANC remote port. The remote will not be compatible.
