Post a photo of your crane!

The PT20 is super quiet. I started with a smaller Bescor head and it was fine for repositioning the camera but not very practical for "live" moves. The PT20 is super smooth and adjustable for speed etc. Thogh I must say that controlling up and down and right and left and zoom and focus, is an acquired skill and takes lots of practice.

It is funny that years ago I posted this thread and years later I still have yet to finish my crane haha. I think there are pictures of it somewhere in here.

Gotta step it up, I've since added a cable driven pan and tilt head and counter weights that don't hang in a bag :)

Don't worry Terry Lee. I started building a crane in 2007 as well. Still work in progress.
