Best HD video camera with remote control for crane/jib work
I have a Kessler 12 foot crane with a motorized pan/tilt head. What would you suggest would be a good remote-controlled HD video camera (zoom,focus, autofocus) that I could use with this crane? Lanc control or? Card-based only, not tape. Price range $2-4000. I have tried using a 5D3, but not working for what I need….
Thanks much. -

Given your price range I would consider the Panny HPX-170
You can get a lens controller like Varizoon and an extension cable.Chris

Thanks Chris
I would prefer not to have to buy P2 cards, expensive.
Any other suggestions? -

Check out the canon xf100, Sony pmw100 or panny hmc150. My best bet would be canon, it’s got a good sensor great codec and shoots to cf cards. Also it has a lanc remote in so uou can get a varizoom controller and be all set
