    Warning! Device designed for DSLR, camcorder use requires a modification.
    The Crane-Plus seems to be a very functional and useful device. However, it was designed for use with a DSLR; the longer size of a camcorder prevents it from fitting onto the mounting plate. The rear of the camcorder will not clear the central aspect of the gimbal. Before I bought the device, I watched several relevant YouTube videos, and learned about this issue. The video producer bought a Manfrottoe-style mounting plate, attached it to the base of the gimbal, and moved it forward such that the rear of his camcorder would have clearance. I bought a Neewer Professional Aluminum Alloy Manfrotto Style Quick Shoe Plate Adapter, and this allowed me to mount the camcorder such that the required clearance was achieved. I also have a Viltrox fluid-head tripod, and I use this mounting plate on both devices, so I can easily move the camera from one to the other. I did have to remove (Dremel) a small stop on the plate to accommodate the Viltrox base onto the Manfroto plate. Also the Crane/camcorder unit is quite heavy, I am using a Transmount Mini-dual Grip handle which greatly helps with carrying the unit. I am using a Sony FDR AX33 camcorder, and am connecting it to the device with an included cable, allowing me to control the camcorder from the device, an excellent feature. I have had the Crane Plus for a week, so I really can't comment on durability. What I CAN say is that the image stabilization is truly remarkable, very professional. The device is easily transportable, and after you learn to balance the camcorder/plate, you can be up and running in a minute or so.
