Another new Chapman product is the CS Base, named after Vampire in Brooklyn Key Grip, Chuck Smallwood.  This innovative base is capable of carrying a Chapman remote or manned crane arm, such as the Lenny Plus and Lenny Arms II and III.  While its maximum payload is 3,400 lbs. (1,545 kg), it is lightweight for easy transportation.  The CS Base has a new "Quick Pin" Transmission, which permits either crab or conventional steering and a wide range of tires, including balloon tires, which allow the base to move with ease through all types of terrain.  Corrective steering, along with crabbing capabilities, enables the CS Base to be maneuvered smoothly into places other chassis cannot go.  Its unique built-in Bogie track wheels allow it to work on track without having to change the tires.  It also incorporates a time-saving Quick Release King Pin System, which allows quick and simple stabilizing and leveling by utilizing a Screw Jack System, and Quick Release Pins, that allow fast wheel removal and reduce the operating width to that of the track, 34 1/2" (880 mm).   It also comes equipped with a removable center post, tool box, and adjustable and removable track wheels.
