Saw this at Sitex this afternoon, very fluid and easy to handle. About $2,000 for the set. Wonder anyone has experience with it.

Pulley system crane tend to have more resistance especially when you mount a heavier camera. kressler will be a better brand to work with.

Yes, kessler crane is an established product. But was impressed by the cobra at the sitex show now. The rep said they are from philipine.

I bought the smaller FotoCrane from the same company for a little $400 from their website. I have been using it with a DSLR. Very compact and fits inside a tripod bag. No complaints for that price, size and ease of setup.

ya, they have it at sitex on promotional price, about $350. I played with it quite good. My son want to buy it for panoramic photography. I should go there alone.
