VariZoom's New SnapCrane is in class all its own with fast, yet secure dovetail assembly joints and stainless steel aircraft pins - no expense was spared. The SnapCrane, like all of our products, was designed for years of trouble-free use and reliability. Please scroll down and see why this camera jib is in a class all its own. With attention to every detail, we have created a tool that will last generations with proper care.
Jib Arm - Jib arm sections all have industrial powder coating, and upper arm section is machined with a truss pattern to retain strength while reducing air resistance in breezes (caution: never use a camera crane in windy conditions)
Dovetail Joints - Dovetail joint assembly allows for quick, extremely secure, no-tools connection with redundant safety locks. Above the dovetail, the hefty stainless steel latch (w/ internal safety catch) clamps the joint, while below, a secondary thumbscrew assures a tight and secure fit.
Brake System - Brake system utilizes a heavy-duty plate that is securely mounted to the pivot section. Brake compression system is built into stator and designed to compress firmly and securely, but forgiving enough to slide under extreme force that could otherwise topple a locking-brake jib system.
Locking Pins - Locking stainless aircraft pins of the highest quality and strength are used at the pivot points, and they are attached to by lanyard to prevent them from ever being lost.
Cables and Couplings - Stainless steel marine-grade components make up our cable couplies, as well as heavy-duty coated cables designed for long life.
Crane Case Cranes - come with VariZoom's new custom, padded, heavy-duty Crane Case. This case can also be used for other jibs as well.
TCR100 Crane Tripod - Our custom-built crane tripod is the only tripod we recommend for use with any crane, no matter the brand. We recommend you never use a telescoping or collapsible tripod under a crane, no matter how small. When supporting an expensive camera on a jib elevated above other valuable equipment or people, it is simply a no-brainer to eliminate all risk and use a single-section tripod instead of a telescoping type.
The TCR100 was designed with safety & strength in mind - combining a solid machined base-plate (not molded), specialty heavy-gauge tubing, and oversize leveling feet for an ultra-stable design that will never falter or fail. With anodized aluminum, stainless steel fasteners and solid brass bushings, the TCR100 will last a lifetime.

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
- Thank you for your help.
- Balad, Iraq
Thank you very, very much! I have never used PowerMax before but I have been absolutely impressed with your professionalism and service. I really appreciate all the effort your company seems to put into customer service. I'm really looking forward to receiving the computer, and thank you once again for the follow-up service.
- Thanks,
- KS
