Hey everyone,

I have for sale a fully carbon fiber crane setup made in USA by Carbon XL. This system packs away tightly into 2 Pelican cases and a medium sized tripod bag for all the tubes. Can be built short or anything up to full stick @ 18.5 feet. Comes with a custom adapter to mount any model Movi gimbal. This is my personal unit and was never rented out. In like new condition. Also comes with Manfroto 528XB tripod for solid support base. Just throw on your gimbal and go. Total cost was $10200 after delivery. Asking $7000 obo. Might be interested in trades for c500/fs7/red.

Description
The Carbon XL 7 crane and jib system is designed for use with camera motion stabilizers and professional video cameras. The camera and stabilizer are used on the Carbon XL 7 crane at extensions of 3 feet to 18.5 feet from the camera to the tripod. FreeFly MoVI 10 or 15 camera stabilizers attach quickly to the end of the crane for impressive sweeping horizontal or vertical camera moves with a single operator. The camera can also be operated on the crane manually, with the crane supporting the full weight of the camera and stabilizer. Built mostly of carbon fiber, this super-lightweight 37 pound professional grade crane packs in only two cases for easy transport as airline baggage or in the trunk of a car. The Carbon XL 7 crane is half the weight of most similar aluminum cranes, and requires only 80 pounds of ballast to support a Red Dragon and MoVI 15 at 18.5 feet extension. This system is designed specifically as a professional length crane for airline travel and use in limited or difficult to access locations.
