Kessler might not recognize this crane with my modifications for heavy duty use. The center and camera plates have been changed with Kessler's 1'2 inch heavy duty plates in an overslung position for clearance. The camera plate has been cut and fitted with a 100MM ball mount. Circumventing the need for a Kessler mount that hangs forward, which would give extra drag and stress. The camera sits right in the middle of the camera plate. You can use my Hercules head, or your own 100MM Ball Mount Tripod head. It will handle the weight of RED or ARRII without sweating. I threw away the original weight holder and replaced it with the Kessler side weight holders. Holds more weight securely and no need to lock the weights down. All Kessler heavy duty attachments have replaced the stock gear. Two arms. 3 ' and 5' handles most applications. This tripod will go 7' high, giving a total height of 13' with a 10' swing. The tripod has its own wheels for easy rolling on smooth floors. If you need a crane that supports heavy cameras, it's right here. Pricing low now to get reviews. The photo is a stock photo from Kessler. You can see my crane in action in this video: https://youtu.be/tXijHOu1UMs
