What’s the lowest height the setup can reach, and how much vertical movement is available at different extension distances?
The lowest height of the Proaim Powermatic Scissor Pro (17ft) primarily depends on your tripod configuration. Typically, the jib arm operates at around 6.3 ft from the ground, but with the tilt mechanism and underslung gimbal mounting, the camera can be positioned down to ground level for low-angle shots.
In terms of vertical movement, the available up-and-down travel increases as the scissor arm is extended. At full extension (17 ft), the system can achieve a maximum height of approximately 17.4 ft. Simply put, greater extension provides a wider vertical movement range, with the maximum vertical travel available at full reach.
