Hello, whoever is reading this. I am in the market for a good and cheap Jib/Crane, I am in a conundrum as which one to go for. My three choices are the SkyCrane, CamCrane 200 and the CobraCrane 2+. First off the SkyCrane looks the best in my opinion, I do not like the Kessler, too conusing and very ugly. I know that with both the CobraCrane and SkyCrane can tilt, a very cool feature, while the Glidecam CamCrane 200 cannot. I am leaning towards the SkyCrane, I like the tilting mechanism, a rotating arm, looks very user-friendly. Please help me out and describe the ups and downs of these cranes, and these are the only ones I am considering. What should I go for? Thanks.
 
cam crane is the only one that mounts directly to your legs and won't trash your head. the others will. way too much weight for a fluidhead unless it is a big broadcast type head.
 
Howdy Ya'll,

I'd just like to make a correction on the post previous to this one...

The Skycrane also mounts directly to a tripod without the use of a Video Fluid Head.
