I see people talking about a tilt tool, and a base within the questions. Can i get some direct links of what is recommended to purchase with the crane

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.

It all depends what you need it for, if you are always going to range things that are on an up or down angle, get the angle one, if not, use the non tilt range finder

Yes you can tilt it, it has a ball joint and any standard light stand will work.

I would just call Skyjacker. They are really knowledgeable. They gave me me all the part numbers for all the components I needed for a lift kit and then I turned around and bought it all from Amazon.

You might be able to with optional tilt lever, otherwise you have to put a fluid head on it and tilt it down. i love this crane, small but does the job better than you might think for its size!

I bought a Racor lift and it works great. I use if for my Kayak, but I only got one lift. I bought it at least 3 years ago and I believe I paid under $20, so if the price advertised is around $20, I would bet you would be getting only one lift. If I had more room in my garage I'd buy more because it is simple to install, simple to use and works great.

I would have to agree w/ "CyberTom's" response as the one I own flexes a great deal. I would look into something w/ a steel/aluminum frame.

Panning horizontal and vertical is what this does. You can see me using these in my videos from You Tube on Finding New Neighbors. I have a lot of samples on there. Your camera would have no problem on this jib crane. I have the 8' and the 4'. Both work great! I use them every week filming houses as a real estate broker.

Mark, I'm just starting to "turn" and have found this tool to be very good. It comes with the above mentioned and I don't think you would be disappointed with your purchased. Jim

All you will need. I like it except it is heavy to lift up and could use wheels to move it from place to place.

Just make sure you have jack stands, proper tooIs and the kit of course. lol. There is plenty of write up's on forums for the lift. the lift doesn't have to be the same but basically just a write up and maybe photos to help. But it's a simple process and maybe a extra set of hands to help will come in handy. Some tire shops will install these lifts for around $75 or so. Goggle will be your best friend to find lots of info and forum write ups. But to answer the question all you need is the kit, several mechanics tools and a couple jacks. It you look on forums you will find out the exact tools you need including socket sizes and more. Hope this helped.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your question. The DVC60 can have a manual tilt added to the crane which will allow you to manually tilt the camera plate but it will only tilt 76 downward. To get a 90 angle we offer a 90 bracket that attaches to the camera plate that points the camera straight down to achieve that true overhead shot.

I would suggest a ratchet set that you can pick up at Wal-Mart and it will also contain some screw driver parts. I also used my battery operated power drill which made life a lot easier. Basically a regular kit will get you by, no fancy tools are needed.

Yes, but it may get tricky trying to counter balance. Balance is everything with a crane/jib. Hope this helps. The dvc50 is great! I would recommend!

I will say I bought a pair of Hoist dumbells and I love them. They can not break. I have the 45 lb set and will upgrade when needed. The Bowflex are nice but they are crazy expensive and bulky. They may take a few seconds more to change weights as you add or revove actual plates and adjust the dial to keep in place but I could not be happier with the purchase.

The mast r lift is great if you are looking for above table height adjust. It has fine increments if you need super accurate settings. Put a wixey digital height gauge on it and you have a superb table.
