Featuring 360 degree rotation, an invertible camera platform for under or over slung camera positions, a two arm design for maximum stability and built with high-grade anodized aluminum the Kessler Crane is as robust as it is functional. Easily broken down for transportation and uses standard household style weights to achieve proper balance. This kit includes everything you need for a functional 8' or 12' crane, complete with K-Pod Tripod, Hercules 2.0 Head, and the Crane. Note: The 12' Crane includes the Extended Weight Bar and Vertical Brake. QUICK LINKS SUPPORT | MANUALS & TUTORIALS REPLACEMENT PARTS ACCESSORIES Configurable for Your Needs The Kessler Crane is available in a variety of sizes and configurations. Building the perfect crane for your needs is simple. Select the size needed, either 8' or 12' lengths are available. You may also add an 18ft upgrade kit to your starter kit to have a crane at our maximum offered length. Vertical Brake When the Kessler Crane® is not in motion protect it from unwanted vertical movement with this braking system.
