In cinematography, a jib is a boom device with a camera on one end and controls at the other. It operates like a see-saw, useful for high shots or shots that need to move a great distance horizontally or vertically, without the expense and safety issues of putting a camera operator on a crane. Our Jimmy Jib, a lightweight modular system, offers easy transportation and setup in any location. The standout feature of the Jimmy Jib is its impressive crane arm “reach,” which plays a crucial role in creating captivating and dynamic compositions. It also allows operators to elevate the camera above potential obstructions like power-lines or animated concert crowds, enabling clear and expansive shots when needed.

The strength of the Jimmy Jib it is the “reach” of the crane arm that becomes the important factor in creating interesting and dynamic compositions plus allowing the operator to raise the camera above obscuring power-lines or animated concert goers – thus allowing for a clear, high wide shot if need be.
