So that's it for pix. I did take some videos, some of which came out appalling awful and others only pretty bad.

Arm lifting, with the crane head
https://youtu.be/MqMlcEXy6zE
Crane lifting a load. The speed is set so that lifting is slower than dropping, so, umm, like watching paint dry, sorry.

Yaw (side-to-side rotation) of the grabber. This is from behind, front of the machine to the top; actuator on left makes the magic happen.

First video is opening and closing the grabber ends but also shifting left/right (sorry, hard to operate the camera and the TX and the same time.) Second one is just the lateral shift.

This one shows the autolevel function. I know I committed the cardinal sin of taking the video sideways, but wanted to show the range of the arm and how the grabber moves accordingly. When unladen it does wiggle a little, overcorrects slightly.

And when laden (and the camera properly oriented, albeit for a shorter lift), you can see the auto-level do its thing. I'm only lifting the arm there; the auto level is adjusting botm pitch and roll to keep the thing level. (The red LED's strobe for auto-level, vs just orange for manual control.) And HRH Duke sticks his head in, unsure if he's curious and should make friends, beat the thing senseless, or run away at warp speed.

Full speed ahead! Yeah, that's top speed for the machine. The gearing was intentionally chosen to given lots of torque and ease of control vs speed.

Were this a fork, you'd want the load as low as possible while moving to avoid tip over. However, this thing has the insane counter weight in the back and wide stance, and you need to see around the conex, so maybe moving with it up like that makes sense.
Anyway, again in the vein of "I can't operate the camera and the TX simultaneously", that's the big conex being shifted around.

I think I hit stop way early on that one, but gives you an idea of loading with the little conex.

This one is longer and prolly more informative. I notice I broke my own rule and have auto-level turned on while moving; was really focused on lining the thing up.
