The CobraCrane CC2HD Heavy-Duty Single-Arm Camera Jib is a portable crane designed for use with DSLR and video cameras. The 10' crane can reach a height of 14' on a 5' tripod (not included), and operate at ground level as well. It's streamlined, with several pivot points making it easy to mount higher or lower on a tripod for increased control of balance. It can also easily convert to a 6' crane by removing the 4' end. The CobraCrane 2HD's chain and sprocket design is particularly effective when using front-heavy cameras or large lenses--it helps eliminate the tendency of a large lens or heavy camera to tilt forward.

Minimal break-down time (5 minutes) means more efficient and productive shooting schedules. An improved 1/2" axle and new cable chain drive mechanism makes this an unusually versatile portable crane. The tripod quick release plate is removable, so that switching to your tripod's quick release plate for a secure fit onto your tripod head is quick and easy.

Any tripod that currently is used with a shoulder mount Beta, Digibeta, Varicam, Arri, Viper or Cinealta camera will most likely do very well with a CobraCrane. If your tripod is not listed here it may still work. Look for the weight rating of the tripod. If your tripod has a crank-up head, it's a good indication that its design is meant for heavier cameras and cranes. Keep in mind the size and weight of crane you plan to use. The CobraCrane 2HD is compatible with Manfrotto 510, 516, 519, 526 heads, or similarly rated heads. Mounting the crane on an available tripod with a fluid head adds tilt capability.
