The beauty of the Jimmy Jib crane is its versatility; it can be easily transported and quickly rigged in the most extreme locations to allow creative and efficient shooting. The crane can be constructed in a variety of lengths from 6ft to 40ft, and can be built on a variety of mounts/bases to optimise its use indoors and outdoors.
 
We shoot with most broadcast and 4K digital cinema cameras and often use prime, cine zoom and video lenses. Remote focus & zoom control is possible through the Jib and we can also supply wireless follow focus & lens control systems if required.
 
See the Tech Specs and FAQs below for more detailed information.

GALLERY

The Jimmy Jib can be built from 6ft – 40ft and this ‘reach’ is measured from the crane fulcrum to the camera plate. The longer the crane, the larger the working area needs to be and we can happily chat this through with you and explain the equipment footprint, measurements & weights.
We often rig on balconies & platforms and can advise on the best structure and safe working load considerations.

All of our Jib kits are packaged concisely and clearly documented, especially helpful for transporting by air where required.

To help explain all the Jimmy Jib options and variations, we have produced a handy Jib fact-sheet to aid planning of camera positions and useful for spec’ing Jib platforms or auditorium seat-kills. We find ourselves in some pretty unusual locations so we may already have knowledge of your studio or location.

Feel free to call us and chat things through.
