Quicky REVIEW on PRO AM crane---
« on: February 23, 2006, 07:03:29 PM »

Good afternoon.  This is just a quicky review.
It took longer to drag from the front porch to the back porch than it did to build it.
Ten minutes tops-from unpacking it to attaching 2 sections, adding weights, the camera and a quick balance.
It operated fine........as long as the operator doesn't get in any hurry to 'swing' too fast and make stops too fast then it has a tendency to sway and vibrate----just a bit.
The next day after some serious thought I did make some customizations.  I relocated the monitor bracket, I attached a different type of weight bar in a different location so I can add weights from 2 sides instead of one and also to attach other accessories to the bar. I extended the manual tilt bar and strengthend it  so its at a more convenient distance from the operator.  I also rebuilt the camera platform so I could easier balance my very front heavy XL2 by adding a T type platform so I can use 2 mounting screws and slide it back and forth for precision balancing before adding weights.
It was worth what I spent on it just to let you all know. 
I don't have access or the inclination to build the cranes and stabilizers like  some of you extraordinary people have!
Have a good day.
