Cobra Crane Functionality

Cobra Cranes have three inherent functions. They can elevate your camera from the ground up to the maximum height of your crane tripod combinations. Cobra Cranes can smoothly swing the camera from the pan function of your tripod’s fluid head and they can tilt the camera from any position within their swing or height arc. By taking advantage of any combination of those moves Cobra Cranes can significantly enhance the quality of your work, and exponentially raise the value of your presentation, thus creating greater earning potential. You will be able to create sweeping, captivating Hollywood moves without breaking the bank. When you check out our videos you will instantly see the benefits of having a Cobra Crane.

Booming
The most basic move of the Cobra Crane is the elevate. Elevation height is a function of the Cobra Crane’s over pivot length + the height of your fluid head when your tripod is at full extension.

Total height = over pivot length + Tripod maximum height

Swinging
Swinging the Cobra Crane offers sweeping panoramic shots. Perfect sweeps of landscape, wide shots, mountain ranges, stage shots and a wide variety of other epic shots, limited only by your imagination. 360 degrees of swing allow you 100% total flexibility. Shots from the sidelines of the ball field, from the back of the concert hall, and from a variety of other placements can yield amazing sweeps and panoramic moves that can significantly enhance your productions.

Tilting
When tilting, your crane takes on a third new dimension. From over the top looking down at sporting events, worship services, or marketing videos tilting offers a beautiful opportunity to enrich your video presentations. When the crane is boomed low and tilted up the shot can provide a super smooth perception shot making the subject look very, very tall.

Maintain framing
As an added feature the Cobra Crane can continuously keep the subject in frame while booming up and down.
