This is a solid crane that really moves my Sony A6500 camera with battery. UPDATE after three months and only two applications. 1 star until fixed but this unit does NOT lean forward. On instant launch it will recline (or look up) but I can't get it to fully raise. It stops about 15 degrees from ideal vertical. It's not a heavy camera problem (my camera isn't heavy anyway) because at the top everything is "balanced" and therefore doesn't return to the balance point. I can fold it all the way up and almost all the way up, but that's no way to take it off! So I'm trying to get a new reliable block. and given that experience maybe a three year backup plan to protect my investment
