Polecam USA Starter Pack PLUS With Wide Head

This Starter Pack PLUS With Wide Head from Polecam is a single operator broadcast quality camera crane that provides a quick and simple way to capture smooth, floating crane shots using DSLR cameras.

All the basics are here: an ultralight carbon fiber support pole that can vary from 4' to 20' in length, in 4' increments; a pan and tilt head that has unlimited horizontal rotation and 280° of vertical rotation; a joystick controller to run the pan & tilt head; an interface unit for all power and control connections; a body harness and tripod mount for switching between holding the jib and mounting it to a tripod; and counterweights and covers. This lightweight, transportable rig operates off battery or AC power. V-lock battery plates are included.

This kit also has the Wide Head, an electronic head with superb control characteristics, precise damping and great flexibility that's ideal for DSLR cameras.  It's possible to mount two mini cams for 3D video using the optional 3D plate. The Wide Head has full electronic control with pulse encoded Faulhaber motors used for both pan and tilt operations, plus a 12-bit PID motion controller to regulate the pan and tilt axis via a closed loop configuration meaning you get an extremely accurate and easily controllable head. It has a load capacity of 8 lb (3.6 kg) and can complete a 360° pan as quickly as 7 seconds.
