Hi Logan. The ProAm USA DVC50 camera crane does include a u-shaped tripod mounting bracket. This bracket will attach to most heavy duty tripods that have a standard tripod head with a quick release plate and a 1/4-20" screw mount. The tripod will need to support at least 50 lbs to work with the DVC50. The ProAm USA Crane Stand for $59 is an optional base support for those who do not have a tripod that meets these specifications. The Crane Stand includes our all metal Stand Mount for connection to the DVC50's u-shaped tripod bracket. If you have any other questions, or need to change your order, please let us know. Thanks!

There is a place for something to be screwed into the bottom of the camera. The instructions that came with it didnot mention what this was for, but said to go on line and see the attachments etc. for it. I am assuming that this is what that's for, but do not have a tripod so have not done so. Sorry to take so long in answering this.

You have been mistaken with the swivel/pan. All this is for is a quick disconnect for your tripod or monopod. The bottom has a 1/4 by 20 receptacle which is the same as the top screw on the disconnect block.

Anne, I don't know who the actual manufacturer is, but I can tell you that it is a very solidly built piece of equipment. The tripod is strong and stable, and it won't sway or blow over in the wind. This does come at a price though. This thing weighs in at about 8.5 pounds, so it is not lightweight in any way shape or form. For me this is a plus as I shoot outdoors in iffy conditions at night a lot of the time, and it has not failed or disappointed me once. Definitely worth it in my estimation.

I don't know which stand you have, if you are talking about proline stand with tripod boom you good to go, because that's the one that I'm using with it, and I still don't have any issue so far...but if you have the round base stand I don't think it will hold it study. I hope this help...

I own two of these, and there is a hook on one of the legs. I noticed it yesterday when I took the tripod out to film.

Send me 2 pictures of your tripod, 1 full body and one upclose of the bottom. I don't know what a spiked tripod is so I would have to see, I use glide gear and it works amazing. Would be best to just text me the pics if u want me to get back to u faster. 4019358135

Mine came with a tripod mount that has a 5/8" male connector. The problem is, the mount connection is 3/8" - which meant I had to buy an adapter and couldn't mount this out of the box using the contents of the box. A two dollar adapter fixed the issue, but made the tripod mount more unstable. I purchased a desk microphone stand by On-Stage to solve this issue. Ultimately spending more, but getting what I wanted.

That tripod is worthless. I bought another larger one that telescopes from Midway for no too much money. Scope works well.

It appears to be the same tripod only different name. A lot of chinese factories will make identical items for different companies.

I would recommend a sturdy tripod with heavy duty head, or something similar. I've used this with my regular tripod and fluid head and it worked, but it was not sturdy. I eventually got a heavy duty speaker stand and custom made a mount for it with hardware from Lowe's. Although the jib crane is not that heavy, by the time you get the counter balances (I used small 2 and 5 lb weights for exercise) on and are moving the thing around it needs a strong base.

Hi, I got the Manfrotto 468MG ball head when I got this tripod( had a smaller combination before) and it works great. $214.00 at B&H.;

I don't feel that way at all. At first I thought there was a pin missing but quickly realized it wasan "operator" error. I use my tripods all the time. They are handy for wiggly littles. For the price I feel the value is great!

Thanks, Jim. Creative should tell Amazon to update the product description, then, since it doesn't mention tripods.If I had a camera like this that was flat on the bottom, I wouldn't mind standing it up.

I bought this. You will have to buy the tripod separately. The same I company sells a perfect tripod type support for this. It's more like a speaker stand. They are both great pieces of gear.

Here's a video showcasing how easy the crane is to use. My film company rents ours out to customers looking to use the ProAm before buying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOLTofl9FZM
