Q: 1. What is the payload capacity? It states 20lbs. But with a 20lb payload x3 for counter balance, you get 60lbs. Then when you add in the 27.5lbs needed to balance the crane without a payload, you get 87.5lbs of counterbalance weight. The manual states that you should not exceed 75lbs of counter balance. So that puts the max payload for a balanced crane at 16lbs. That is 20% less than the advertised max payload. So what is the true safe balanced payload capacity and counterweight capacity?

A: Please call us: 800.606.6969

Q: 8. will the manfrotto 509HD be able to mount this crane? because I already own one and do not want to buy the Hercules as it is unnecessary. I really am seriously considering this crane though, so a answer would be awesome. Thanks!

A: The Manfrotto 509HD is a really nice video head, however its load capacity is only 29 pounds. This crane weighs 30 pounds before you even put a camera on it. Also the load capacity of a tripod head diminishes the further away the load gets from the center. Which is why we recommend the Hercules 2.0 Head when using this crane. It has the load capacity to handle the crane and most cameras you would put on it.

Q: 9. What is the spacing of the two countersunk mounting holes?

A: I had the question. This plate is specifically designed to Mount DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras and the Kessler Pocket Jib Traveler to the Kwik Release Receiver (From the Kessler website.) It does work as stated, but is not much use for anything else. I used it to mount the Kessler Pocket Jib Traveler to Kessler's Kwik Release Receiver, and it worked great for that, but, it is not a strong mount. I used it on my Sachtler Ace tripod, and it would give a little, so I suggest sandbagging down the tripod legs if you go in this direction. Since it is a specific tool, I don't think measurements are all that important.

Q: 10. will this work on a nikon 70-200 f2.8ED and the Arca swiss P0?

A: Yes it can. It has the 1/4-20" thread and is Arca compatible.
