Hague Launches K10 Camcrane

Hague Camera Supports have built a reputation for developing high quality products at a price you can afford and the new hague K10 Camcrane with stand and remote pan & tilt head is no different.
Using their wealth of knowledge Hague have implemented several exciting features into the K10, which gives the user both a stand to hold the crane and a remote head to control the camera direction.
The stand's height is adjustable from 1.1 to 1.4 metres high. Standard bar weights (not supplied) are used for counterbalance, these are held in place by the weight bar and there is an adjustable fine trim weight to obtain perfect balance.
Once balanced, the camera can smoothly move from ground level to almost 4 metres high and the crane will pan 360 degrees on the stand. You can also pan and tilt the camera on the end of the crane by using the wired remote control.
The distance from the stand to the camera is 2.5 metres and it has a total length of 3.6 metres. It is ideal for all handheld camcorders under 2.5kg. An optional monitor bracket is available, this enables a LCD monitor to be fastened to the crane, making it easier to monitor your shots.
The electronic motorised Pan & Tilt Power Head is fastened to the end of the Camcrane camera platform by a 1/4" screw. The unit is battery operated with a wired remote control for both pan & tilt - it also has a variable speed control. It will pan 180 degrees and tilt up or down 15 degrees.
Hague also supply a tilt correction plate which will allow the camera to tilt down 30 degrees from a level position, which is useful when the crane is being used for high shots. The pan speed is variable between 4 to 8 degrees per second and the tilt is variable between 1.2 to 2.4 degrees per second (speeds are approximate). The Power Head is powered by 4 AA batteries. Size 145x115x103mm (5.75x4.5x4 inches).
