I have used a Kessler. really liked the results. They have a 5.5 and 8ft... I used the 5.5 but wish we had the 8ft.
You can get a motorized head on ebay, they are ok but you really want a pro pan/tilt head. |

I have the Kessler 8ft crane and love it. It is silky smooth and I believe it's double frame construction gives it the most stable shots in this price range.
I bought the ball extender that mounts on the end of the crane and my tripod head mounts to that for when I want to operate the crane from the front end. I do advise you to spend the extra $50 and get the "brake" option for the crane so you can lock it in a position to simulate a tripod when needed. I also have the K-Pod tripod and Hercules head that Kessler makes as I wanted a dedicated system. |

Can't go wrong with a Kessler
I got the same setup as above.
The 8 ft is only $10 more then the 5.5. I'm loving it. http://www.kesslercrane.com/index.ph...=182&Itemid=95 |
