Panther Cranked Bazooka S – Precision Crank-Adjustable Camera Support with Safety Locking
The Panther Cranked Bazooka S is a precision-engineered, crank-adjustable camera support column designed for effortless vertical movement of mounted camera systems. Developed as part of Panther’s renowned Bazooka series, this model offers smooth height adjustments, enhanced safety features, and secure support for demanding film production needs.
With a height range of 43 to 62 cm (17″ – 24.5″) and a maximum payload capacity of 150 kg (330 lbs), the Cranked Bazooka S is ideal for professional filmmakers seeking reliable, on-the-fly height control without dismounting equipment.

To further enhance security, the unit includes an integrated safety-latching mechanism that prevents unintentional lowering, even under load. In addition, eyebolts are built into the column, allowing the bazooka to be further secured using straps—especially valuable when operating in dynamic or mobile setups.
