There hasn't been a professional crane that gives you the possibilities that ZoomCrane will offer.. pretty exciting stuff!
ZoomCrane offers 3 professional camera crane models that are fast to set up, and collapse small enough to carry anywhere.
Nothing shouts "Production Value!" like a crane shot, and until now the cost and hassle of using a crane often made it pretty much impossible to consider taking your crane with you. ZoomCrane is the first professional camera crane to offer the fast setup and super-compactibility that lets you take it anywhere. You don't need a van or grip truck, you can throw it into even the smallest car. ZoomCrane is designed with no loose hardware and just two main components, instantly collapsible. No matter what area of professional videography/cinematography you're in, whether it's film, weddings, sports, commercials, documentaries, music videos, real estate, travel, or corporate, the benefits of fast setup and easy portability help you:
• make your job easier
• increase your margins
• open up new opportunities
• expand your creative options
ZoomCrane comes in 3 Versions:
The MINI fits in a backpack: 37” reach, 35 lb capacity and a 1:1 counterweight ratio to minimize the amount of counterweight required. Specifically targeted for run and gun or remote locations, where you normally might be reluctant to carry a crane. Includes a Weight Bag so you can travel without the counterweight arms and use whatever's on hand to balance (rocks, water bottles, etc.). The Mini compacts down to a mere 20x8x7 inches.
The GT (GlobeTrotter) fits within airline carry-on requirements: is the 'standard' ZoomCrane, offering a generous 68" reach and 25 lb payload while compacting down to 20x12x7 inches.
The The GTX (GT eXtended) gives an amazing 8-feet-plus (98") reach, supports payloads up to 16 lbs, yet still compacts to a tight 20x18x7 inches!
All ZoomCranes come with a 100mm bowl for your camera/payload (75mm & flat mounts optional), and a carry case.
The ZoomCrane is live on Kickstarter. “True EarlyBirds" will be able to get their crane in less than two weeks after campaign funds have been released. Non-Early Bird ZoomCranes will be shipped approximately 6 weeks from the day the campaign funds are released
