The VariZoom SnapCrane 16 is a modular camera jib for controlled sweeping, rising and lowering shots in professional film, video and broadcast production. This package includes the crane arm, the rigid TCR100 crane tripod and the DCR200 heavy-duty dolly with outriggers. The motorized MC100 pan/tilt remote head is also included.
The crane supports 5 documented setup modes across 4 distinct overall lengths. In its longest configuration it measures 5,59 m overall, reaches 4,72 m horizontally and provides a maximum camera height of 5,56 m (as defined in the manufacturer manual).
Locking dovetail joints, tethered stainless quick-release pins and a matched cable-tensioning system allow fast, largely tool-free assembly while providing structural rigidity.
The adjustable pivot brake and sliding counterweight fine adjustment support smooth, balanced movements. Counterweight plates are not included.
The SnapCrane 16 includes two extension sections, one with triangular weight-saving cutouts. Its fifth operating mode uses a different pivot point to reduce counterweight requirements.
The TCR100 is a rigid, non-telescopic crane tripod. The DCR200 dolly with outriggers supports setup on a flat, level surface. The fully loaded crane must not be freely rolled around on the dolly.
The included MC100 provides remotely controlled pan and tilt movements. The head camera payload and total crane-tip load are separate limits, and the head weight plus accessories must be counted against the crane load.

Payload note: These are manufacturer crane arm ratings, not a certified camera payload for the full MC100 kit. The remote head, camera and accessories all contribute to the load.
Measurement: Maximum height refers to the overslung MC100 platform in the manual; vertical travel is measured to the camera platform.
Do not roll the fully loaded crane. Add counterweights gradually and remove them carefully before detaching the camera during disassembly.
