Q: 3. Is it possible to point the camera directly down as shown in the 6th photo with only the included parts?

A: No, the added mounting head shown in the 6th image is not included. You will need a separate head to point the camera directly down.

Q: 4. Does this jib have the ability to tilt while in use?

A: Camera can auto-tilt to remain level, or the user can remove a pin to manually tilt the camera.

Q: 5. Reference 6th photo of DVC 210 crane/jib. Can someone identify the tilt head in the photo?

A: According to ProAm, this is the Micro Fluid Head 3126 by Manfrotto - which is unfortunately no longer sold by B&H. A similar alternative to this item is the Manfrotto 128RC MA128RC (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/553886-REG/Manfrotto_128RC_128RC_QR_Micro_Fluid.html)

Q: 6. I have the ProAm 12' (maybe 10'?) larger version with it's stand. Will the tripod work with this? Is there a pan accessory?

Q: 7. Can this be used to mount the canon 5d mark iv and canon 80d?

A: Yes it can. The Orion DVX210 has an 8 pound load capacity, which is more than enough to handle DSLRs like the 5D Mark IV and 80D.

Q: 8. is this also for for other cranes or only for pro am?

A: This is for ProAm (although it may work other cranes with some modification). Also, it is not compatible with all ProAm cranes. It would be best to contact ProAm directly with further questions concerning compatibility.

Q: 9. Can I use this system with a Canon C100/battery/canon L series lens?

A: Yes you can, I have this setup and the result is amazing.

Q: 10. I have the D&S Provista 7518 tripod with FM18 head. Will my tripod hold this jib, camera and counter-weights? In general, what weight capacity do I need in a tripod for a jib like this? With my camera (BMCC with rails etc.) close to 10 pounds, this 12 pound jib, and maybe 35 pounds (?) counterweights, do I really need a tripod that claims 55-pound capacity?

A: I have the Pro Am jib but added a 4' extension for a total of 12'. I purchased a dedicated tripod for the rig, a Manfrotto 132XNB rated at 66 lbs, as I use 35 lbs of counterweight. I would always suggest you err on the side of caution as you will likely be using the rig around people, and you don't want a lawsuit trying to save a few bucks. Picked mine up non ebay for under $200. Has a 100mm ball head, I also purchase the Pro Am ball bearing mount for the jib as opposed to mounting on a tripod head. FYI, I too have the Pro Vista tripod, but I use it for my 4 and 6' jibs.
