Thanks.

Is there a stop to keep the crane from following you in its swing as you back up ? As far as I can tell our crane will do a 360 if it feels like it.

It sure would be nice if one could retrofit a hand-cranked worm-gear that would let you swing the crane around under some control by cranking the gear.

Thanks again.
