Description
The M1-III Mini Crane from iFootage is a compact, portable jib arm featuring lightweight carbon-fiber construction, a telescoping square-arm tube, and multiple mounting options. Its square tube design helps to minimize potential shaking during operation. The M1-III has a maximum payload of 33 lb in standard mode and 22 lb in low-angle mode. The main jib arm and the counterweight arm each have one telescoping stage (two sections) with locking thumb-lever knobs. Standard barbell weights (available separately) may be used as counterweights.Mount your DSLR (or other small camera) on either of two included quick release plates: the M1 or the Motion X2. The M1 plate has both a flat camera plate and a ball mount, enabling use of a fluid head (with a 60 or 75mm ball). The Motion X2 plate is used with micro cameras or when using wide- angle lenses. Both the arm base and the camera base incorporate 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 holes for mounting accessories.The adjustable tilt-damping knob, the tilt lock, and the pan drag function give you added control over your crane shots. For programmable moves, the M1-III can be used with the iFootage Motion X2 or other motion control systems.None 33 lb load capacity in standard mode, 22 lb in low modeNone Lightweight, carbon fiber, telescoping square-tubed main armNone Compatible with 75mm ball or flat base tripod headsNone Locking, damping-controlled tilt function, and pan drag controlNone Camera can be mounted using the included quick-release plate or via a 60 or 75mm bowl headNone Quick-release plates have both 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 threaded holesNone Accessories can be mounted to the arm base and the camera base via 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 threaded holesNone Standard barbell weights can be used as counterweights
