A Closer Look
CobraCrane camera cranes and jibs are built with performance in mind and for more than 12 years still follow a proven design that delivers professional results.
Reinforced Crane Arm Sleeves Reinforced light weight aluminum encases the crane arm to prevent any rolling, shake or noise of the arm crane during use. A correctly configured crane with a camera load that weighs no more than the cranes rating produces smooth, fluid movement in any direction.
Perfect Balance
Adding the correct counter weights to a CobraCrane avoids the need for any additional "brake" hardware. Take your hand off the crane and it will remain where you left it. No floating or travel in any direction until it's redirected once again by the operator.
Built In Tilt Mechanism
Each CobraCrane comes with a Tilt Mechanism Design allowing the operator to tilt the camera to any angle.
Included Quick Release
All CobraCranes include a industry standard quick release plate that fits most popular tripods allowing you to use your tripod for crane shots or camera/tripod only recording.
Panning Capable
Simple, inexpensive, lightweight Panning Kit provides you with the ability to pan your camera 180 degrees left or right. Designed for camera repositioning while recording paused. - Motorized pan/tilts are also supported on all CobraCranes.
