I started with the DVC200, and added the middle extension to take it to the DVC250 model. I recently noticed this model, and decided I needed the new camera mount this jib sports. I contacted ProAm, and they sold me the camera mount from the 210 along with an extension plate which will allow me to add the underslung motorized pan and tilt head later on. As is, the new mount and extension plate allow for much better, and more free motions of the Bescor pan and tilt head without cables snagging on the jib as with the side-slung mount. I only had to run my control cables along the upper surface of the arm to better reach the camera.
The new mount on the DVC210 really helps to fly heavier cameras than the old side-slung models. I nolonger have that annoying problem with the weight of a camera causing several degrees of roll to be applied to the side-slung mount. I think the jib even feels a little smoother with the new mount.
I've also noticed that you can now pivot the jib through much wider lateral angles that won't put the end of the jib into frame as with the old side-slung mount.
The forward-slung nature of the mount with an extension plate, or even without it, makes it much easier to do camera end operations, too.
I also modified my DVC50 with the new camera mount and extension plate.
I like that the weight mount for the 210 is centered, and on top of the arm now. That helps improve safety, and enhances operation of the jib. I wish my jib had that new feature. Not a big problem having side weights as you can simply balance them on both sides of the jib. :)
