As the year winds down we want to take this opportunity to thank our customers, new and old for their loyal patronage. It has been our pleasure to provide you with the best ultralight production cranes on the market and we look forward to a year full of new prospects.

The lucky, randomly chosen contest winner was @maribeth_ratajczyk who wrote: @liteprogear I've been a very good girl this year and deserve to get off of sticks and have camera movement with a Feather Camera Crane Plus! #cameracranegiveaway #cameramovement I WANNA CRANE. Cheers Maribeth and enjoy the crane.

We also want to give a big shout out to all those who took the time and entered in the "Christmas Crane Giveaway"on Instagram. Here is a list of the applicants and what they had to say about why they deserved a Feather Camera Crane Plus this holiday season. You all are awesome!

“@liteprogear #cameracranegiveaway.

This year I decided to quit my job and do video production full time, but early on all my equipment was stolen. So I dug in bought new equipment and found supporters to help me get my business rolling. To have a Light Pro Gear Crane would up my video production to a whole new level! #liteprogear #feathercameracraneplus #christmas #holidays #traveljib #adventurejib #contest #freestuff”

I deserve to win the@liteprogear giveaway because I need it to help take my production value up in 2016 with my gimbal on the end of it. Especially when there's no better jib out there for traveling #cameracranegiveaway

Old crane weighs a ton.

Can't take to far and wide lands.

But Lite Pro Gear can.

Hoping Santa brings me one of these @liteprogear Feather Camera Crane Plus jams, or that I win one in this #cameracranegiveaway ... I feel like I've been good this year, and it sure would add a pro feel to my flicks #FingersCrossed ~ #NiceList ~ #PortoJams

5. @exitwelve

I've been eyeing up the@liteprogear #feathercameracraneplus for awhile now but just haven't had the spare#coin kicking around yet to add one to my#kit. I'm not one to ever say "I deserve" something, but I would definitely love to, some day, be able to carry one of these bad boys into the #woods w me on all of my future #shoots. Plus, I just can't even seem to find the time to #build my own#traveljib! Hopefully luck is on my side and I end up winning this#cameracranegiveaway! Thanks#liteprogear for putting on this #contest

@liteprogear I need this because SC was hit hard with recent flooding. I'm a real estate agent trying to help document property for those affected. I've maxed my budget out with replacing my equipment for this and future projects.#cameracranegiveaway

kesterkk A Feather Camera Crane Plus would be really cool for filming on King Henry VIII's Mary Rose, in its new museum.

@liteprogear I would like this camera crane for Christmas because I'm taking a small film crew on a self funded walk-umentary across Europe next summer and something this light and versatile would be a real game changer and would save us a bundle on costs. #cameracranegiveaway

11. @friskies80

@liteprogear #cameracranegiveaway I deserve to win because I'm finally pursuing my passion for filmmaking on a full-time basis. I wasn't happy with my job and decided to quit settling and to go for what makes me happy. I want to represent female film-makers as best I can. I also love road trips and being mobile. I love capturing my adventures and moments on the road with amazing cinematography and to fully represent the true beauty of every location. Please pick me because I want to take my shots to a whole other level!

12. @mvphotoarts

Wow! I've been wanting one of these all year! I've worked with a jib once before but nearly all of them are too big and bulky to travel any distance at all with. The @liteprogear #cameracranegiveaway would give me the ability to take my camera rig with me anywhere I go and capture amazing dynamic video!

@liteprogear would love to win crane of my own! Can Christmas wishes come true??#cameracranegiveaway#liteprogear#creative#merrychristmas

@liteprogear #cameracranegiveaway this jib would be awesome to use to get some neat shots. Wonder what my odds of winning are

16. @spfilms

@liteprogear A camera crane is needed to be able to get amazing shots with a camera, without it, similar shots can be done, but with lesser quality. One thing i need to make short films and documentaries is a camera crane, which something i don't have. A crane from you will be perfect for me since I am a student who has to do a lot of traveling with very little and light gear. #cameracranegiveaway

17. @bradscottvisuals

@liteprogear is having a Christmas giveaway. #cameracranegiveaway I need a crane this year to get some epic cinematic shots of skiing and boarding as well as for my stock footage site. This would make a very nice Christmas present.

18. @outdoorrehabilitation

@liteprogear it'll be very nice and helpful to be gifted a crane to improve my camera skills and start shooting video. Great piece of gear to have access to. #cameracranegiveaway

The homies @liteprogear giving away a feather crane this xmas! I hope I get one in time to prepare for my trip to pakistan in January for the "Music of the Mystics" documentary i'm producing :) #cameracranegiveaway

20. @camargopwr

@liteprogear I deserve a Feather Camera Crane because I will not sleep until I get the most out of every awesome shot possible using this amazing gear. And I've been a good boy. #cameracranegiveaway

21. @southlakejake

Check out my buddies @liteprogear for a killer camera crane. I'd love to win one then maybe I can stop working construction. #cameracranegiveaway #tahoerulz

22. @mobrassie

Pretty excited to announce that I'll be wining one of these sweet cranes from the fine folks at @liteprogear this holiday seasons. Planning on taking it with the #phantom3 to @ferniealpineresort for some all time shots! Thanks in advance. ?. Haha. #cameracranegiveaway

23. @thetroutslayer

Hey @liteprogear. It's be. Love you guys and everything you do. I would love to have one of these camera cranes and would never take it for granted. This would make my kinda crapy videos a lot better. Either way merry Xmas. I hope you guys have a great day with family and friends. ❤️ #cameracranegiveaway

24. @codystauder

Sorry in advance for the multiple give away posts... However, one of these awesome cranes would pull a premium right before the new year. This thing would be a perfect fit for @nitrocircus insane touring/shooting schedule. #cameracranegiveaway @liteprogear

25. @b_lynnstagram

Hey @liteprogear I think I deserve one of these bad boys because I'm a run-and-gun videographer who will be traveling quite a bit in 2016, on shoestring budgets, producing content for several industries throughout the world. Oh, and I've been a very good boy. Help me step up my game with an awesome Feather Camera Crane Plus!!! #cameracranegiveaway #sony #a7s #rokinoncineprimes

26. @capturedbymike

Santa, this is lightweight enough for your sleigh and my rucksack. It would take my storytelling to a new level...literally. Even deployment doesn't stop you from thinking about us during the #cameracranegiveaway. Merry Christmas, @liteprogear !

27. @snowdriftmedia

Merry Xmas y'all! Hoping I win me a @liteprogear crane. Wonder if I can mount the @djiglobal #roninm and use the remote?? Guess we will find out on Boxing Day. #christmas #pleaseme #cameracranegiveaway

28. @c0nw0w

I'm always looking for new ways to get more interesting shots. As an independent up and coming filmer I constantly reinvest every single penny I have to get those shots I dream of. Using the @liteprogear camera crane would be a huge step in that direction to get more dynamic and visually appealing shots. I've longed for one of these cranes since they first came out onto the market. Weighing next to nothing and set up time within minutes it, it would be a perfect addition to my back country quiver. Hopefully I will be able to achieve those shots that now only exist in my imagination. #cameracranegiveaway #pleasepleaseplease #forevergrateful

This crane looks amazing! I had a different brand and it was a pain in the ass to setup. Heavy, clunky and eventually I just stopped using it. I'd bring this out to every shoot if I one. #cameracranegiveaway

32. @chrismabeyphoto

What better way to finish out the year than with a brand new @liteprogear crane to make backcountry productions better #cameracranegiveaway

Last wish on my Christmas list is a new crane by @liteprogear !Santa can come late right? #cameracranegiveaway

34. @kiphacking

After much thought we will name our first child, boy or girl, "Lite Pro Hacking" if we win this camera crane from @liteprogear. Seems like the right thing to do. Also, it would be perfect for us to use when traveling or hiking because it is so lightweight. @liteprogear makes killer products #cameracranegiveaway ???

35. @threepeakfilms

@liteprogear is about innovation and bringing something new to the table which aligns perfectly with our goals every time we go shoot. If we win the #cameracranegiveaway we can use that took to further our creativity which in turn helps all our supporters :) #liteprogear #threepeakfilms #climbing

36. @live.the.life_you_love

In 2016 I'm trying to take @live.the.life_you_love to the next level!! @liteprogear constantly innovates and changes the game of backcountry, off-the-grid, shooting. I hope to use this amazing product to hike, climb, bike, trek, and swim farther away from the front country and tell the stories of individuals living out their passions in motion. :) #cameracranegiveaway #spreadthestoke
