How does this perform with Pro-Camcorders such as a Canon XF205 (about 4 lbs with gear) or XF105 (about 2 lbs with gear) ? Is it easy to learn to operate for camera operators with little to no experience on a jib / crane? Is there a way to attach a controller wire with zoom / focus control unit that would normally attach to tripod for easy control of those camera functions? Thanks.
The Orion DVC200 is a great match for the Canon XF205 and XF105 cameras. They are lightweight, but have longer bodies which mount easily to the L shaped camera bracket. Operation is pretty straightforward; auto tilt allows you to simply raise and lower the rear of the crane to start getting nice jib shots. Just make sure you use counterweight to balance it. That's the key! It does take a little practice to get shots where the camera is manually tilted while the crane body is moving, but it's easy to learn. For LANC operation (I do believe the XF cams have a LANC remote input) you can use our LANC controller and extension cables.
