Achieve shots that were once only possible with advanced motorized setups with the Kessler Crane Parallax. This model is sized to fit the 5' Cineslider and provides fixed-point shooting capability. Using a flexible bar and a mechanical linkage, the Parallax can easily facilitate inward and outward panning motions to accompany the horizontal slider movement. This can be used, for example, to fix the camera on one subject during the slide; great for interviews and other shots of still subjects. Setting up is as easy as setting your camera's position at each end of the move's travel.

The design of the Parallax does not camera placement, and traditional slider functionality can be maintained without removing the Parallax from the slider. A motor can be added for autonomous control in situations where camera operation crew is not available or when precise control is required. With the separately available Parallax case, the entire system can be transported without requiring disassembly.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this slider works with a manfrotto 501 head?

A: The Kessler Flat Mount Adapter gives you a 3/8 -16 stud on the cart of the CineSlider, so you can mount a flat mount head, like the 501.

Q: 2. What length HDMI cable would I need to run from the DSLR to the monitor that is mounted to the Kessler Pocket Jib Traveller?

A: I don't have it mounted and open right now, but the specs here say 6' max extension from fulcrum, so I'm going to say you'd be safe with a 7-8' HDMI cable, right? You can always tie up the extra near the monitor which can attach to the base (near the fulcrum). If I were shopping for one (good idea, by the way) I would look for something flexible and light. Some of those HDMI cables are stiff and heavy. Good luck!

Q: 3. What would you need to mount the ronin M in the upright position onto this?

A: You can hang the Ronin by attaching the CineMilled DJI Ronin M Quick Plate to the bottom of the crane's camera mounting plate.

Q: 4. What holes does it have to mount it on stands, 5/8" 3/8" or 14-20"?

A: The unit offers 5/8" 3/8" or 14-20" openings.

Q: 5. does this crane need a specific kind of tripod?

A: The base of the Pocket Jib has a 3/8 -16 screw hole so it will mount to the base of any standard tripod leg. You will just want to make sure the tripod you use is rated to support the total payload.

Q: 6. 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. With the Kessler Cine Shooter Roll Axis, do I also need the Heavy-Duty support module with it?

A: Yes, You will need the HD Support Module for the roll. It's a necessary piece for mounting the roll axis.

Q: 9. Is it possible to get an overhead shot (looking straight down) with this jib?

A: It is possible to get an overhead shot with this jib, however you'll probably want to attach a security cable to your camera to play it safe. There are two knobs that can be loosened to extend the jib; when both are fully extended the camera will stay parallel to ground, but if you extend the top bar further than the bottom bar you can progressively tilt the camera down further and further. This jib has been extremely useful on my shoots, where I rarely have an assistant, as I can set this up in just a few minutes. Make sure you properly set your counter weight, this and a bit of practice and you'll be getting some nice, smooth shots.

Q: 10. Does it have an electric or a manual pump?

A: The Kessler Crane Lamprey Adapter (8") will use a manual pump. Kessler has discontinued their AutoVac product line that provided electrical pump options.
