Hi-

I hope it's ok for me to ask people's opinion on this, I believe they are a sponsor.

I've been contemplating getting crane, and thinking I'll probably need a better tripod than my current one to support it.

Looking at the Kessler crane site I saw on the Kessler site their tripod the 'K-Pod'.

It looks awesome, and apparently can hold 500 lbs?? I don't know if I heard that right on their website video. But I was curious if anyone had purchased one, and what they thought.

If you are looking at a crane, Kessler crane is your best bang for your money. I own one of them and the best support I found for it is the Kpod, you talk about rock solid. You din't heard wrong in the video they say it will support 500 pounds. But the best test I have seen is on their website on the weight test video. Check it out:
