The Hague K18 CamCrane is ideal for people who already have a motorised powerhead or a motorised gimbal that they can use on the end of the crane to mount the camera. This version of the K18 is just the CamCrane and does not have any powerhead or camera mounting option included with it. To mount your camera to the jib you would need to attach your own powerhead or gimbal to the end plate. You cannot attach the camera directly to the jib, you must use a powerhead or a gimbal.
The K18 is quick and simple to set up, it attaches to any sturdy 100 or 75mm "bowl type" tripod or it can be supplied with the Hague D3 Dolly which is listed as a related product. It’s ideal for both handheld camcorders and DSLR cameras mounted to your own powerhead or gimbal.
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 its full length or without two of the centre sections. At its 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 monitor bracket (not included, see related products) enables an LCD monitor to be fastened to the crane, making it easier to monitor your shots.
The K18 CamCrane is made of aluminium and breaks down into 5 main sections, making it easier to handle in transit. It is supplied in a cardboard carton but an optional transit case is also available.
