Stabilizing Support Cables 8' DVC200 or DVC210 Camera Crane/Jib

So I bought a ProAm DVC200 Camera Crane/jib on here and the crane stand. I at first was not sure if I would need this because the crane works well without it. I got it because I knew when I added the full camera... LCD, weights and any audio gear hooked into it that it may remain stable. It is subtle but there is a difference. Having everything tight prevents the crane from adding a little extra movement. If you were buying the crane/own the crane there's no reason not to buy this.

Would be good except for two deal busters.thete is a lot of wobble at the pivot point and the camera mount is way too flimsy. Buy something else.

We are very happy with this item,Helps a lot with stabilizing the jib crane and also makes it look way more professional. which I think it nice!

This jib, if used with a lightweight camera, even a Sony FS4 but without all the extra stuff and batteries will work very well, but anything over 10-12 lb will make it wobble a lot or difficult to operate. I also got the 4-foot extension but the wobbling was so bad that I took it off.I purchased the Proaim 3-Axis Motorized Dutch/Roll/Pan/Tilt Head ($1,224.00) but could not find a way to attach it to the jib. The holding plate of the jib is way too small and the plates that come with the head are too big to fit.So, now I have to either buy another heavy-duty jib or sell my brand new head.

It is tricky to learn how to make smooth moves with this unit.It is well built and sturdy enough to my DSLR rig (about 10 lbs).I wish it had a horizontal panning head, but I knew it didn't had one when I bought it.I have used it only a couple of times Look at the last scene of this movie (my own movie): [...]

I thought I was getting the whole thing (the crane), is just a cable.I cant read.

Eliminates camera sway and bob. Get 'em

You can't use it with a RED Camera. Only with DSLR. Is good only for that kind of camera.
