I had a demo from Dennis of one of these arms a year ago and I definitely would push for one of these over a similar length Technocrane... The easy/fast adjustment of the fulcrum height was really useful and overall it just seemed really robust and slick.

Impressive stuff!

Awesome! I have no budget, I'm sure, for this at the moment, but this would be perfect for a couple of shots I want on the personal documentary film I'm (very leisurely) shooting at present. Although it's UK made, your post indicates it's available in the US. Is it available in New York City? If so, just out of curiosity, could you PM me with a day rate?

Thanks for the reply, Dennis. As I said, no budget at present, but you never know. This film will be several more years in the making, and perhaps as it nears conclusion, I'll have allowance for the "money" shots I envision in NYC. Of course permitting will probably be a bigger issue than crane rental. I'm saving the info you posted and will mark this thread for future reference. Thanks again!.
