You Get What You Pay For...

Ok, so I bought this product to try to save money on purchasing some higher-end jib models. It's simple to put together by yourself, although there are a lot of tiny parts you need to keep track of (knobs, screws, etc. I suggest you keep a zip-lock baggy handy). It's fairly easy to pick up and move slightly once assembled, but not recommended. However, the metal finish gets dinged up easily and some of the parts aren't high-quality. For instance, the tripod stand, when first taken out and set up, the head got stuck when fully extended and was almost impossible to retract it (was told this had been a common issue lately with the stand from customer support). With a little bit of jiggling and force, I was able to get it back in without breaking anything, *I think*. Secondly, the build has some flaws that can be prevented. The U-shaped bracket I received that you mount on the stand and that the jib arm is attached to, it was slightly bent, causing the angle of tilt to be extreme by the time you got to the end of the arm, and was too significant to let it slide. The stand would be level, but the further you got down the arm, the more canted the angle would be, causing your camera to shoot totally crooked. Placing some spacers on either side of the arm that goes through the u-shaped bracket would add stability and prevent the bracket from becoming bent. Also, the mounting head to the stand, it started becoming difficult to screw on the tripod stand and I noticed there were bits of plastic being stripped from somewhere in the plate mechanism, which I know isn't a good sign and did not allow me to screw the head on easily. Now, I sent these items causing issues back to ProAm (they paid for shipping, just make sure you find a long box if you need to send it back), customer support was fantastic and they did replace the parts, however now I'm facing the same issue of the angle being tilted by another part of the jib; the base plate where you mount the camera. I'm waiting to see what their fix is for this issue, but already I've had these few minor issues make me rethink my purchase decision. You may have better luck than me. I just don't want to keep messing with these minor flaws when I could throw the money elsewhere.

On this boom, can you turn the camera left and right while in action?
Asked by: Josh
You wouldn't turn left or right so much as swing left or right. Camera is always facing forward and the boom arm can rotate on the tripod base if the camera needs to see what is to the left or right of it.

If I want to use this jib to hoist a Canon XA-25 camera in as straight up a configuration as possible to get above a high center field fence for baseball/softball approximately how high off the ground can we get this camera including the fact that it is on a stand?
Asked by: Gary
The Tripod that comes in this set has a max height of 6 feet. the Jib Arm with extension has a max reach of 9 Feet from the fulcrum. Therefore if you have the Jib Arm straight up you can get a max height of 15 Feet.

It would really depend on the payload that you chose to work with. And this is different for every user. It uses plate weights or Dumbell weights that you would find in Sporting Stores.

The ProAm USA Orion 8' DVC210 Crane alone will not allow you to point the camera 90 deg towards the ground. However if you add a Video head you will be able to achieve this. Example head idea BH #BES4PRO

Can this be used for either the canon XA-10 or XF-105 Camcorder?
Asked by: alexander d.
The ProAm USA Orion DVC210 Camera Crane can take a payload of 10 lbs. the XA10 is approximately 3 lbs and the XF105 4 lbs in working order so you are good to go with either camera.
