The VariZoom SnapCrane VZ-SNAPCRANE16 is the extended configuration in the SnapCrane camera crane series. It offers 16'6" vertical extension and comes with a tripod, dolly and case.

The SnapCrane is a compact, modular crane design. It offers various configurations for specific applications.

This configuration allows the user to set-up in all four configurations.

Utilizing specialty heavy-gauge tubing for the single-section legs and a solid baseplate machined from a block over 2.5" thick, the TC-100 is built to extreme standards of rigidity and durability. The stainless-steel leveling feet offer up to 3" of adjustment, while the padded carrying case makes transport comfortable and safe.

Accommodating heavy or light tripods with mid level spreaders, this platform is ideal for moving large setups over flat ground. Locking wheels keep your tripod immobile during the shoot. When you are finished filming, this dolly folds down into a compact size for easy transportation to your next location.

Q: 1. How wide is the base of the dolly?

A: The VZQUICKJIB QuickJib is meant to accept flat and ball tripod heads. If ball, it should be a 100mm head.

Q: 3. What sort of tripod can this be mounted on? Is there a specific Varizoom product that it has to be mounted on or will it work with a general Manfrotto or Sachtler?

A: Hi I use an older manfrotto that has pins that lock the legs. Don't know the model off hand. You DO NOT want to put on any tripod with collapsible legs with legs extended. It would be a hazard. Also the tripod has a 75mm bowl that the jib base fastens to. Very sturdy once assembled. Varizoom makes a solid leg tripod/ stand for ap. $900.00 You will need a heavy duty tipod for sure. It's a lot of weight with jib, camera, hot head and counter-weights. You will be happy with this jib. Set up is very quick. I just made an extension for mine it gets powder coated in 2 weeks! Can't wait to try it. Best of luck

Q: 8. How long does it take to go from in the case to operational with this Jib? Does it come with/ have a recommended case?

A: This kit includes a Crane Case along with cases and bags for the various components included. As far as how long it will take to set up, there will certainly be some learning curve with the set up to start. I would imagine it will take a sometime once you first start using it and as you get more familiar with the product you'll be able to have it up in a matter of minutes down the line.

Q: 9. How much ground (floor space) and operational space around the Jib does this need?

A: According to Varizoom the center of the included dolly to the dolly leg is 22 inches. The jib itself will go up 10 feet, you would want to have at least that much clearance around it. To be safe you may even want to be in the 15-20 foot range.
