Ah cranes..... they were the days. I was slightly horrified (a couple of years ago now) at the prices charged and built my own. Alot of people liked it, so I started selling it.

I've stopped production and sale now because there's alot of good products out there that are alot better than mine and prices have tumbled.

My recommendation is to have a look at the Hague site and take a look there.

A couple of points to remember.

Dont buy one that uses cables to achieve the tilt. They go slack and cause problems.
Buy an electric head that will turn the camera when it's on the tilt. The angles you can get are amazing.
Remember you'll need a monitor and remote / lanc for the camera.
8" seems alot but isn't..... go as long as you can afford.

Happy to offer more advice if needed.

Andy.
