Kessler Crane review: Mountain bike filmmaking
Our very own 8ft Kessler Crane Lite arrived in the post last week. We’ve made time to play with it so here’s the low down on what we think. Why buy a crane?
The affordability and quality of footage produced by many HDSLR’s has really opened up the filmmaking playing field over the last few years. Back in May 2010 I bought my first Panasonic GH1 and have been a HDSLR convert ever since.

Friday – A day 0f contrasts, the softness of the sofa against the hardness of the road, the comfort of my bed v’s the ?. I had a touch of GPS failure which was probably more todo with my requirement that everything needed to happen immediately. Anyway the GPS decided to ‘do the right thing’ and I was comforted by all the numbers and times I could see on my screen. Going north through Manchester and out to Bury and up into the Yorkshire Dales was very interesting.

Day 1- Lands End to Lanlivery Puddle. Saturday 17th April 2010
Very late start about 12:30pm, drove down from campsite in Lanlivery Puddle, paid the parking fee at Lands End then dawdled some more. Got photo taken at sign, brilliant memento and off. Really lucky to have H with me for the first stretch to Penzance which was really nice. At Penzance I had some GPS battery issues, running down very quickly so bought some AA batteries and swapped them out. This is the cause of the dodgy numbers from Saturday. After Penzance I headed off and got trucking along. The route was very pleasant staying mostly on quiet roads.

Ride in the Park
I bought myself a new glidetrack and wanted to experiment with it. The sun was shining so I convinced Patrick to make a trip to the park and let me film him on his bike. His bike was broken (still is) so he borrowed a friends but forgot to add extra pressure to the forks hence all the falling.
