Of all the shots put into a video production, there’s nothing quite like a sweeping crane shot that captures an audience’s attention. For years, these types of shots have been reserved only for large budget film studios. But thanks to ProAm virtually inventing the mid-size crane market, low to no-budget filmmakers can record breathtaking scenes with the simple, easy to use and best-selling ProAm DVC250 Camera Crane / Jib. This crane is the ideal lightweight solution for handling professional shots without paying an exorbitant sum. Mount any DV camcorder or HD DSLR camera under 8 lbs.
If you mount to the ProAm Crane Stand, you can use the crane to give your shot up to 16’ of height – no more expensive and cumbersome camera jibs that don’t offer you a whole lot of creative options. Instead, you can use the ProAm DVC250 to handle just about any type of moving shot, or simply mount the camera and have a still shot filmed from a high angle. Whatever your imagination can come up with, the ProAm DVC 250 Camera Crane / Jib can handle just fine.
Achieving smooth motion in filming is one of the most vexing challenges of professional filmmakers and videographers. But through the stable, US patented design made of lightweight but sturdy CNC machined aluminum and capable of handling just about any type of movement you can give it – will instantly give all of your productions a far more “accomplished” feel.
While lightweight and strong, this jib is also durable, having been coated with scratch-resistant, matte black powder coating. This allows you feel safe and secure about traveling with this equipment for those stunning outdoor shots. And with countless options – from the smoothest bearing mounts to a heavy duty tripod for support – you can customize your purchase to receive a far more comprehensive package.
If you’re concerned about it breaking down, don’t forget about ProAm’s LIFETIME warranty – you read correctly. Not only will you receive a stunning DV or DSLR compatible camera crane jib, but you’ll rest easy knowing that the product is guaranteed to last you the rest of your life. This crane was made for you! |

What sets this crane apart from others on the market?
- The combination of price, usable features and excellent build quality make it the best mid-sized crane on the market. The manufacturer warranties the product for life and we guarantee your total satisfaction with our 30 day money back policy!
- High Density Scratch-resistant Powder Coating.
- The design is completely tool-less at no extra cost!
- With this camera crane, operators can choose to tilt the camera independently while tilting the crane body so there is no need for an expensive motorized panhead, or by using the auto tilt feature, keep the camera fixed at the same angle while tilting the crane body. Most cranes force you to keep the camera level while booming. That won't allow you to keep focused on a subject and can severely limits your shots.
