So if you don't get this, the crane won't pan, just go up and down?

That is false. The crane by itself comes with a mount for a standard speaker stand. It WILL pan, but not as smooth as this attachment. This attachment is made for a single bolt tripod like ProAm's heavy duty tripod stand.

Dear xrook1, correct, for the smooth 360° pan - the ProAm panning-system is indispensable.

We had the same problem. I forgot why my husband said it happened, but we sent it back to Crane and they replaced it with a new one that works perfectly. :-)

Hold it on either end and twist it back on itself. It's tricky, but keep trying and it will go.

If you hang it higher off the ground you can loop the bottom 3 rungs a lot longer. That mightbsolve your problem.

maybe some people were messing with it. if you don't know how to solve it take it apart and back together correctly

Yes, I had trouble getting it assembled the first time, but now that it is on there it hasn't moved. I wish I remembered how I got it figured out.

I ask my husband this question and he said it was easy to put it together and nothing spins, maybe there is something missing or look at the directions again.

We returned our crane. It was the second one we had to return. Never worked more than two times before breaking.

Curious problem. In testing mine, I encountered no trouble in opening the umbrella. In cranking the lifter, I simply continued to crank beyond the tilt mechanism until the umbrella was tight. The tilt mechanism was locked in the upright position. That locking mechanism is pretty straight forward and intuitive. If you still don't succed. please get back to me. RWM

Either you change or buy a new one or don't used the lift just hang it. Make sure the rope is secured.

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

I didn't try it. But I'm disappointed by the inability to keep it in the needed position. It just goes down by its own weight.

If you don't have a "dolley" to place it on so you can wheel it in, not to worry. Use leverage to move this box....stand it up and walk it...stand behind it and move one side of the box forward then the other. You'll get it to where you want it without breaking the back. And once assembled, walk it the same way to where you want it. But what really is handy is after you've assembled it and it's still laying down, place those "move thingies" that you can get at Home Depot, Lowe's or even here at Amazon...they stick to the bottom and then you can just push it along like it weighs a feather.

No that should not be happening. If it is there is a problem.It should spring back to its zero position.

Ramp is always down. And if you try to move the hutch with the ramp screwed on, it will break off. Unscrew the ramp before moving the hutch.

It's locked in place. Twist the green ring until it snaps out of the lock position, then it should move up and down for you :)

The crane is tripod mounted so it can go on the dolly but it won't be attached. In fact, I have a shot like that planned for an upcoming video. It will be more difficult to operate the crane if its moving on the dolly.
