Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. can it also fit the wheels?

A: Yes, this case fits the wheels as well.

Q: 2. How many ship at this price? Just one? I notice the wheels are in a 3-pack and thought maybe this add-on was similarly bundled.

A: This is a single Idler Arm only.

Q: 3. Will this work with other wheel assemblies?

A: Unfortunately, it is unknown if this arm will work with another manufacturer's equipment.

Q: 4. What are the dimensions when closed with the wheels attached? Looks amazing but might be too bulky and wide/thick

A: The Kessler Crane K-Pod Tripod System has a Folded Dimension of 39" x 10.75" x 10" and weight is 22lbs. With dolly attached it would add about 5 inches.

Q: 5. 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: 6. Can it fit the k-pod with wheels attached?

A: Yes, the Kessler Crane K-Pod Soft Case (Black) will hold the K-Pod with the wheels attached.

Q: 7. Will this work with another wheel assembly? Looking to add it to the Ikan wheel set.

A: Unfortunately, it is unknown if this arm will work with another manufacturer's equipment.

Q: 8. can I mount the Manfrotto 509HD on here and still be able to mount the Kessler Crane KC-12 on top of the manfrotto head?

A: You should be able to mount any bowl head to the kpod with the right accessories. I don't have the kc-12, but I assume as long as the kc-12 has 1/4 or 3/8 mounting holes it should work with your manfrotto. That being said, I don't think you'll be satisfied with the setup as your manfrotto head won't be able to take on that much load. Crane + Camera + Counterweights would certainly go over the 29lb capacity of that head.

Q: 9. What is the maximum weight limit doe this set of wheels?

A: These wheels have a weight capacity of 300 pounds.

Q: 10. What is the weight capacity of this wheel set?

A: This set is for the Kessler Crane K-Pod Tripod System, BH #KETH1004, which has a 500 pound load capacity. https://bhpho.to/38YbcpG

[2.8 lb] These 3 rubber wheels are excellent. Never need air, soft and handle rough terrain. This was used on the Manfrotto dolly 114 version. bogen 3067.

[2.8 lb] Long after humans have disappeared from the earth, this tripod will still be supporting my crane. Seriously strong, well built.

[7" (17.8 cm)] Awesome base for the Kessler

[7" (17.8 cm)] Made right. Stout enough for whatever I want to mount to it, crane/jib, slider, camera head. The only thing I would improve is a way to lock the legs in closed position for transport, instead of the included strap. reasonable price.

[2.8 lb] Very well built, heavy duty Tripod for a crane or a Jib. The legs lock very positively so you don't have to worry about slipping. Get the wheels. They are worth the investment.

[2.8 lb] You'll see a lot of comments about how this system is built like a tank. I don't necessarily think so. Now, no offence against tanks but I think this tripod system might survive an HE round better than most tanks! Okay, so I didn't test this particular conjecture but suffice to say it's heavy-duty! The other thing I really like about it is the concept of the lock pockets. I didn't know if I'd like them or not but what it does is makes it really easy to raise and lower the legs to a consistent length. Naturally, you can't set the legs precisely to a desired length, as you can't set it between the lock pockets - but there are enough of them to get close to any desired length that I'll likely need. And, with the bowl you can easily set the head to true (I'm using the Hercules 2.0 head.) The heavy duty nature of the system allows me to easily, quickly and securely move between my Kessler slider or any number of cameras. This requires the use of the Kessler Kwik release system - and I highly recommend that as well. All in all, I'm extremely happy with the purchase. Not the lightest system out there but definitely among the sturdiest and most secure. If you want to attach a slider (mine is 3') and not worry about wobble, this system will work well for you.

[2.8 lb] Screwed into the base of my K-Pod flawlessly (nice threads). Seriously heavy duty wheel locks. Makes it easy to move the heavy payload around without breaking my back. Great that BH Had it in stock as they are hard to source.

[2.8 lb] I bought this tripod and the Kessler 100mm Ball Kit to support our Gluidecam Camcrane 200, after considering a number of alternatives. This set up is solid, and handles the weight and the inertia of the crane. Very Satisfied.

[7" (17.8 cm)] Way better than the small wheels I was using on my other jib base. Handles the cracks in the concrete in a heavy industrial environment with ease.

[2.8 lb] I already own a small Kessler crane, and their Hercules head, connected with their superbly sturdy quick release system. I tried using a locally sourced (Australia) Manfrotto 20kg rated tripod to save money, but it was a false saving. One leg clamp slid down while I had a crane, weights, camera, monitor and pan/tilt head attached! Adjusting with an Alan key fixed it, but made me nervous about future wear and slippage. An urgent order through to B&H and the super solid K-Pod arrived. It is heavy - for a reason. Sturdily built with indented stops for the legs prevent any chance of slippage. After all, it is built to carry a person on a seat with their K-Flex add-on dolly system. Only one slight quibble. The soft bag doesn't fully close near to the tripod leg knobs. Perhaps this will change after the bag has been used for a while and gets more flexible.
