Ifootage M1-III

Ifootage M1-III Mini Crane

Beautifully designed with a sleek black finish, the M1 III was created using precision CNC machine cutting technology utilizing innovative square tubing for unprecedented strength, support, reliability and durability. It is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry and can take a massive payload of up to 15kg whilst remaining highly stable. This crane not only looks and feels great but also provides ‘tilt and hold’ camera technology! Ideal for studio or location use.

Ifootage M1-III Mini Crane from is a compact, portable jib arm featuring lightweight carbon-fiber construction, a telescoping square-arm tube, and multiple mounting options. Its square tube design helps to minimize potential shaking during operation. The M1-III has a maximum payload of 15 kg in standard mode and 10 kg in low-angle mode. The main jib arm and the counterweight arm each have one telescoping stage (two sections) with locking thumb-lever knobs. Standard barbell weights (available separately) may be used as counterweights.

Mount your DSLR (or other small camera) on either of two included quick release plates: the M1 or the Motion X2. The M1 plate has both a flat camera plate and a ball mount, enabling use of a fluid head (with a 60 or 75mm ball). The Motion X2 plate is used with micro cameras or when using wide- angle lenses. Both the arm base and the camera base incorporate 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 holes for mounting accessories.

The adjustable tilt-damping knob, the tilt lock, and the pan drag function give you added control over your crane shots. For programmable moves, the M1-III can be used with the iFootage Motion X2 or other motion control systems.
