Questions & Answers▲
What is the maximum camera weight the VZSNAPCRANE16 can support?
The crane supports cameras weighing up to approximately 13.6 kg, making it suitable for professional cinema cameras, broadcast camcorders and fully rigged DSLR or mirrorless setups.
How long is the crane when fully assembled?
When fully assembled, the total length is approximately 5.59 m, with the distance from the tripod center to the camera position measuring approximately 4.72 m.
What maximum camera height can be reached?
The maximum camera height is approximately 5.56 m, while the vertical lift height reaches approximately 5.03 m, depending on the tripod or dolly setup used.
Does the crane require tools for assembly?
No tools are required for assembly. The modular design uses dovetail joints and a tool-free connection system, allowing the crane to be set up and broken down quickly on location.
What is the packed length of the crane for transport?
When disassembled and packed, the crane sections fit into a packed length of approximately 140 cm, with overall shipping dimensions of approximately 152.4 x 66.0 x 66.0 cm.
How heavy is the crane itself, and what does the complete shipment weigh?
The crane weighs approximately 33.7 kg on its own. The complete shipment, including all components and packaging, weighs approximately 68.0 kg.
Is the VZDCR200 dolly included with the crane?
The VZDCR200 dolly is referenced as part of the complete system for film, studio and event productions. Please check the current product listing to confirm whether it is included or available as a separate accessory.
What type of arm stabilization does the crane use?
The arm is stabilized by a cable-tensioned system, which helps maintain rigidity along the full length of the jib and reduces flex when operating with heavier camera payloads.
For what types of productions is this crane suitable?
The crane is designed for professional use in film productions, broadcast studio environments and live event coverage, where repeatable high-angle shots and smooth vertical movement are required.
Can the crane be used with a standard fluid head tripod?
The crane is designed to mount on a tripod base. A heavy-duty fluid head tripod or dedicated dolly such as the VZDCR200 is recommended to ensure stability given the overall length and payload capacity.
Is the modular design suitable for one-person setup?
While the tool-free dovetail assembly simplifies the setup process considerably, the overall weight of approximately 33.7 kg and the 5.59 m assembled length mean that two people are strongly recommended for safe and efficient setup.
What does the modular design offer in terms of flexibility?
The modular construction allows sections to be connected or removed to adjust the working length of the jib, giving operators the ability to adapt the crane to the available space and shot requirements on different locations.
