VariZoom VZSNAPCRANE9-100 camera crane 3m with remotehead

The VariZoom VZSNAPCRANE9-100 is a professional 9-foot camera crane system featuring a modular lightweight design, stainless quick-release pins, and a smooth VZ-MC100 remote pan/tilt head. It offers up to 9 feet vertical movement and supports cameras up to 25 lbs, ideal for film, video, and event production.

The VariZoom VZSNAPCRANE9-100 Camera Crane Kit is a top-tier 9-foot (approximately 3 meters) crane system designed for filmmakers and videographers seeking versatility, reliability, and precision in camera jib operation. Manufactured in Austin, TX, the SnapCrane9-100 combines lightweight, durable construction with superior craftsmanship, ensuring years of trouble-free use.

This crane kit includes the VZ-MC100 motorized remote pan/tilt head, the robust VZ-TCR100 tripod, the heavy-duty VZ-DCR200 dolly with outriggers and foot brakes, and a protective padded crane case. The modular crane arm utilizes precision-machined, powder-coated aluminum tubing with a truss pattern upper extension for maximum strength, minimal weight, and reduced wind resistance. Quick, tool-free setup is facilitated by machined dovetail joints and stainless quick-release pins with safety lanyards.

The ultra-smooth pan/tilt base features sealed bearings and oversize fasteners for a remarkably stable fulcrum, complemented by a variable drag brake system that holds positions securely yet allows smooth manual adjustments. The cable tensioning system enhances rigidity without added weight, using corrosion-resistant marine-grade stainless steel hardware for long-term reliability.

Designed for serious professionals, the SnapCrane9-100 outperforms many competitors with longer reach, higher vertical extension, superior stability, and better counterbalance and pan/tilt mechanisms compared to the QuickJib series. Its custom single-section tripod (TCR100) provides exceptional stability, eliminating the risk associated with telescoping tripods under crane loads.

This complete turnkey package is perfect for filmmakers, event videographers, and broadcasters demanding rugged, precise, and fast-to-deploy camera jib solutions with remote head control.
