Vertical Brake
When the Kessler Crane is not in motion protect it from unwanted vertical movement with this braking system. Simply tighten the knob and the crane will stay in the angle you place it allowing you to film locked down static shots as well.
Tool-Less Package
Not a glorified wing nut! Upgrade your crane and add time and convenience to your shoot. Eliminate the need for tools by using these hand knobs making setup and tear down more efficient. When tightened, the integrated threading system locates and centers the coupling bars and accurately pulls sections together for a more secure fit.
Ultra Duty Control Rod
For those of you who are pushing the weight limits of the crane or just want to be equiped with premium accessories, the Ultra Duty Control Rod is for you. Replace your existing t-bar with this kit for optimal stability during operation of your crane especially under heavy weight load conditions.
Extended Weight Bar
Explore another configuration option for your weights with this extended weight bar. This package will still allow you to use the factory weight bar for fine tuning as well as provide extra surface area for other accessories such as zoom control or a monitor. The extended weight bar is a must when using larger cameras as it provides more leverage by moving the weight further away from center.
Dual Camera Screws
For those of you with ENG or large broadcast cameras, this kit is for you. This hardware allows your quick release plate to mount to the Kessler Crane keeping the camera from swiveling with twice the holding power. The slots in the camera basket allow you to quickly find the center of gravity regardless of lens size and limit the stress on the crane.
