Sturdy construction, no flex, smooth as silk, and stable! I ordered the suggested stand in addition to this jib because it just makes sense. Everything is sturdy and the crane has a wonderful matte finish that just says BC went the distance. Everything fits together as planned without drama or buyers regret. I'm 100% thrilled with both items.
The only thing that I don't like... No carrying case. This is such a great deal already, so I don't think anyone should be discouraged from buying it... as a note to BC Media... Bags are cheap to make, but hard to find. If you did that homework for me it would have just been that little extra step to show guys like me that you're covering all bases (no pun intended).
All together great! Send me some transport gear and I'm head over heels... :) I'd hate to scratch beauty with it banging around the trunk. Keep up the hard work guys!
- You will need a very large and stable tripod that can support a ton of weight
- It takes a lot of fiddling with the nuts and bolts to get everything nice and tight and even then it's not perfect but quite good
- Chances are you will have to mount a tripod head on the end to get a level shot, it never seems to be level, you have to tighten the bolts so tight to get it level that you then can't move it. A tripod head is an easy fix.
Upon opening the crane and stand, I set it up and was blown away. I can't believe how high quality the product is and how high it will really go. I ordered it with the stand, it works with just a tripod but the stand build is actually really thick (not clunky), I was unsure about ordering the stand but I'm glad I did. It's worth the $60
The DVC200 is an 8' jib and I thought it wouldn't be high enough and I would need to buy the extension eventually but 8' plus the stand which expands a lot, the jib gets way higher than I thought. I haven't measured the maximum height yet but I guarantee it's at least 12'
I did my homework all over the web, I came down to the proam and the indiesystem jib but I decided on the proam because I believed they gave you more for your money and I was right, it really is an incredible deal. No I don't work for them but after this I just might apply.
Thanks
