JIMMY JIB
The Jimmy Jib is a triangular crane system which uses an arm supporting a camera at one end and a counterweight at the other. The crane can swing from the ground to the cranes maximum reach of 40ft and can swing 360 degrees. The camera attached can pan, tilt and zoom, all operated by one person and whilst swinging, giving unlimited camera angles and therefore expensive looking shots at a relatively low cost. It’s compact and lightweight construction means the Jimmy Jib can be rigged in some of the most challenging locations and in a short amount of time, making it a fantastic piece of equipment to have on your shoot.
The Jimmy Jib is rigged in sections and can be built to reach between 4.5 ft and 40ft.
