Below is a complete list of pros/cons for each rig.

Kessler Crane KC Lite Pros:

  • Incredibly sturdy.
  • Easy to assemble with two people.
  • Easy to operate and counter-balance.
  • Great reach of arm – provides a cinematic edge to any shot.

KC Lite Cons:

  • The complete package with tripod and floor dolly can get pricey ($599.95).
  • Need to buy a 10lb weight separately to counterbalance.
  • Carrying case not included – which makes transportation difficult.
  • Long arm can make it difficult to focus and frame shots.
  • No pan capability in the head.

Cobra Crane Track and Dolly Pros:

  • Incredibly smooth ride.
  • Good length of track for the majority of situations.
  • PVC piping is very sturdy.
  • Designed so one person can operate.

Track and Dolly Cons:

  • Similar to the KC Lite it can get pricey ($449).
  • Dolly can be a little light at times and we felt it could benefit from a little added weight.
  • No carrying case included – and without it almost impossible to transport.

Update: Carrying case for the dolly and track arrived today and is designed beautifully. The case doubles as a backpack – which is a heck of a lot easier than carrying the track in your hands. Definitely worth the money.
