The Hague CamCrane K18 with the joystick controlled PH200 Pro Pan & Tilt Power Head is quick and simple to set up, it attaches to any sturdy 100 or 75mm "bowl type" tripod or can be supplied with the optional Hague Dolly D3. It’s ideal for both handheld camcorders and DSLR cameras up to 4kg (8.8lbs) in weight.
Once balanced the camera can smoothly move from ground level to almost 7 metres high and the crane will pan 360 degrees. You have the choice of using the CamCrane at it’s full length or without two of the centre sections. At it's full length support cables are used to improve rigidity. The counterbalance arm has an adjustable fine trim weight and a weight bar with handgrips. Standard bar weights are used for counterbalance (not supplied). A supplied bracket enables the PH200 control box and an LCD monitor to be fastened to the crane, making it easier to monitor your shots.
The PH200 Pro Pan & Tilt Power Head will pan and tilt through 360 degrees, this enables the camera to point directly upwards or downwards when required. It is driven by two custom-geared motors with belt drive. The power head’s drive pulleys have sealed radial ball bearings for effortless smooth movement with minimum backlash. The motor drive can be easily disengaged to enable the camera to be balanced correctly on the camera plate. The head’s camera plate is adjustable for different sizes of camera and will support up to 4kg (8.8lbs). The speed of movement is variable, from the slowest crawl up to 52 degrees per second. The drive motors are quiet at low speeds, but will be heard at higher speeds if the camera's onboard microphone is used (similar to most power heads on the market). The head and controller are supplied in their own transit case.
