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: 5. Does this work with Canon G50 or similar LANC style remote controlled cameras?

A: You most certainly will be able to use a camcorder like the G50 on this jib. However the remote included will not control the zoom on the camera.

Q: 9. How wide is the base of the dolly?

Q: 10. Would this kit handle a small camera (Sony PXW-X200) and teleprompter assuming the combined weight is below stated limit. Will it be able to balance with the prompter on? Thanks!

A: We must admit not hearing about using a teleprompter on a crane before. But that is not to say it cannot work. In certain situations it may be the perfect or only solution. That being said, we have the opinion that since the Sony PXW-X200 weighs 10 lbs and the payload of the VariZoom QuickJib Kit is 50 lbs, as long as the teleprompter is less than 40 lbs, you will be good. There may be an outside chance the baseplate cannot go back far enough to balance. In that case, a longer base plate would solve the problem.
