The unit is battery operated with a wired remote control for both pan & tilt, it also has a variable speed control.
The K18 CamCrane is made of aluminium and breaks down into 5 main sections, making it easier to handle in transit. It is supplied in a cardboard carton but an optional transit case is also available.
