The Kessler 15mm Motor Offset "Dogbone" Bracket allows for more adjustment and positioning when you mount Kessler FIZ motors on 15mm rods. The 15mm motor offset bracket is exactly 2" on center and allows for a full 1.5" of travel so you can place your motor closer to or further away from your lens. It requires 15mm rods on both ends (not included).

Q: 1. will the manfrotto 509HD be able to mount this crane? because I already own one and do not want to buy the Hercules as it is unnecessary. I really am seriously considering this crane though, so a answer would be awesome. Thanks!

A: The Manfrotto 509HD is a really nice video head, however its load capacity is only 29 pounds. This crane weighs 30 pounds before you even put a camera on it. Also the load capacity of a tripod head diminishes the further away the load gets from the center. Which is why we recommend the Hercules 2.0 Head when using this crane. It has the load capacity to handle the crane and most cameras you would put on it.

Q: 2. What is the load capacity of this motor?

A: Kessler doesn't provide a load capacity for the motors on the Kessler Crane Motor Kit for Dana Dolly. The payload has more bearing on the type of track you have and the support for such and the payload above.

Q: 3. what is needede to use this with an ursa mini and sony a7s ii?

Q: 6. 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: 7. How heavy of a camera system will this support. We are looking at the Bosch Mic 7000i camera system. This would be mounted on a truck?

A: There are configurations that allow you to use DSLR's up to RED's and Alexa's with heavy cine lenses. Basically, any camera you could use.

Q: 8. How is the balance and usability when using this on a Cineslider with a larger camera rig, since the payload is then offset on the Cineslider?

A: There should be no issues when using this for balance. You will just need to make sure you have enough support under the slider.
