Growth Playbook for New Owner

Based on our experience running this business, here's a proven roadmap to profitability.

Reactivate B&H Account

B&H Photo generated $170K+ in lifetime sales. The dealer account exists — it just needs product submitted for listing. This is the single fastest path to revenue with the lowest effort.

Launch on Amazon FBA

Ship inventory to Amazon warehouses. CobraCrane products have verified demand and existing reviews online. Amazon handles fulfillment, returns, and customer service — you just ship units in.

Refresh the Shopify Store

cobracrane.com has existing SEO value and a product catalog. Update imagery, add video demos, and enable modern payment options (Apple Pay, Shop Pay). Target content creators directly.

Content Marketing Blitz

Film equipment reviews and comparison videos perform exceptionally well on YouTube. Create "CobraCrane vs. Kessler" comparison content to drive organic traffic. Each video is a permanent sales engine.

Build New Products from Parts

Hundreds of aluminum bars, steel subassemblies, and hardware in inventory. Add a 1/4"-20 mount to telescoping poles and you have selfie arms, light stands, or microphone booms at $0 material cost.

Target Film Schools & Rental Houses

Bulk deals to community colleges with media programs and small production rental houses. 10 units at a 20% discount still yields significant revenue and clears inventory fast.

Ready to Own a Piece of Film History?

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly am I buying?

You're acquiring the complete CobraCrane business: 3 established brands (CobraCrane, SteadyTracker, Rollocam), $41K+ in ready-to-ship inventory, the cobracrane.com domain and Shopify store, all intellectual property including product designs, and existing dealer relationships with B&H Photo and Walmart.

Why is the asking price so low relative to inventory value?

The current owners are prioritizing a quick, clean exit. Two co-founders were injured in an accident that halted operations. Rather than let the business continue to depreciate in storage, they're pricing to sell quickly and find someone who can give the brand the attention it deserves.

Is the B&H Photo relationship still active?

The dealer account was established and generated $170K+ in lifetime sales. Reactivation requires submitting updated product listings. B&H is the world's largest non-chain photo/video retailer — this relationship alone is worth significant value.

What support will I receive during transition?

The sale includes complete documentation, assembly guides, supplier contacts, and historical financial data. The original founder (previous owner) has been a resource throughout the business's history and may be available for consulting at the buyer's discretion.

How do I start the acquisition process?

Send an inquiry to sales@cobracrane.com. You'll receive an NDA for review. Once signed, full financial records, inventory audit data, and due diligence materials will be shared. We're open to creative deal structures including earnouts and payment plans.
