Our jib was custom designed to be smooth and versatile. It can be extended to 24' for those big down from the trees shots, or only 3' to ride on a dolly or other camera support. In the studio we can break it down further to 8', 12', 16', or 18' for greater control for those motion tracking shots for animation and VFX. The joy stick controls sit at the rear end along with a zoom/focus control and monitor.
This baby looks like it would be fun to operate, but it is very difficult. The operator has to control a joy stick, most often fighting against the counter moves of the jibs swing while operating zoom and monitoring the camera view. All while physically booming and swinging the jib arm. For this reason we do not rent this jib without the experienced operator.
If you want the boom height and moves, but can't afford a tulip crane, then the only way to get a camera operator on the end of a bigger jib arm is through the motorized jib remote controls. |
