Panther Cranked Bazooka M – Crank-Adjustable Camera Support with Safety Lock and High Payload Capacity
The Panther Cranked Bazooka M is a mid-sized, height-adjustable camera support column engineered for precision, safety, and ease of use. Designed as an extension of Panther’s highly trusted Bazooka line, this model allows effortless height adjustment using a hand crank, even with fully mounted camera setups.
With a working height range of 62 cm to 100 cm (24.5″ – 39.5″) and a maximum payload capacity of 150 kg (330 lbs), the Cranked Bazooka M is a reliable solution for cinematographers who require quick, secure vertical adjustments without compromising camera rig stability.
A key feature of this model is its integrated safety-latching mechanism, which prevents the column from unintentionally descending under load. This is especially important when handling sensitive or expensive camera equipment. Additionally, the column is equipped with eyebolts around its body, enabling users to apply safety straps when operating under heavier or mobile load conditions.
