The VariZoom VZ-SNAPCRANE12-100 SnapCrane Kit is the standard configuration in the SnapCrane camera crane series, designed for filmmakers and broadcast professionals who require reliable, cinematic motion with fast setup and modular flexibility. This 4-meter jib system delivers up to 12'6" of vertical camera movement and supports camera payloads up to 30 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of professional camcorders and cinema cameras.

At the heart of the system is the VZ-MC100 motorized pan & tilt head, a lightweight yet powerful remote head that allows precise, smooth camera control and quick positioning, functioning like a robotic cameraman. The crane mounts securely on the CT-100 heavy-duty tripod, constructed from specialty heavy-gauge tubing and a solid machined baseplate for extreme rigidity.

The included custom wheeled dolly enables effortless movement of the entire setup across flat surfaces, with locking wheels to keep the crane firmly in place during operation. The SnapCrane’s compact, modular design—featuring dovetail joints, locking pins, brake system, and cable couplings—allows multiple configurations for different shooting needs while maintaining durability for long-term professional use. Packed in a dedicated crane case, the VZ-SNAPCRANE12-100 is a complete, production-ready crane solution for dramatic overhead shots, sweeping reveals, and dynamic camera movement.
