๐บ About Jimmy Jib
The Jimmy Jib Triangle features triangular aluminum tubing for exceptional strength and rigidity. Lighter, simpler, and easier to transport, it includes a segmental jib arm design and a full-function single-arm, double-axis remote head for smooth, fast, and silent operation.
๐ฅ What is a Jib?
In cinematography, a jib is a boom device with a camera on one end and controls on the other, operating like a see-saw. It enables sweeping vertical and horizontal movements without placing an operator on a crane. The Jimmy Jib is a lightweight, modular system designed for easy transport and fast setup.
๐ How High Can the Camera Go?
Our Jimmy Jib configurations allow lens heights from 1.8 meters (6 feet) up to 15 meters (46 feet), supporting cameras up to 22.5 kg, including 16mm, 35mm, and broadcast cameras.
| Jib Description | Jib Reach | Max Lens Height | Max Camera Weight |
| Standard | 6 feet | 6 feet | 50 lbs |
| Standard Plus | 9 feet | 16 feet | 50 lbs |
| Giant | 12 feet | 19 feet | 50 lbs |
| Giant Plus | 15 feet | 23 feet | 50 lbs |
| Super | 18 feet | 25 feet | 50 lbs |
| Super Plus | 24 feet | 30 feet | 50 lbs |
| Extreme | 30 feet | 33 feet | 50 lbs |
๐ฏ One of the Jimmy Jib's standout features is its impressive reach, allowing dynamic compositions and the ability to clear obstacles such as power lines or large crowds with ease.
โฌ๏ธ How Low Can It Go?
In an under-slung configuration, the Jimmy Jib Triangle can position the camera as low as 20 cm (8 inches) from the floor, with further reductions possible depending on the setup.
โฑ๏ธ Rigging Time
We recommend allowing up to 2 hours for rigging, depending on location access and environmental conditions.
๐ Mobility Between Locations
Once assembled, the Jimmy Jib can be rolled on its wheeled base across flat surfaces. On uneven terrain, reassembly may take approximately 30 minutes or more.
๐ Operating Area Requirements
The required space depends on jib size and counterweight configuration. Please refer to the diagrams above for precise measurements.
๐ฎ How the Remote Head Works
Operated via joystick control, the remote head uses precision servo motors to provide pan, tilt, and optional roll movements with near-silent operation.
๐ฅ Crew Requirements
Typically, two operators are needed: one for the boom arm and one for the remote head. Our service includes all required personnel.
๐ท Camera Compatibility
The Jimmy Jib supports 4K and 6K digital cinema cameras, with safe working loads ranging from 27.5 kg to 11.3 kg depending on configuration.
๐๏ธ Cameras We Use
We regularly operate Sony FS7, Arri Alexa, Arri Amira, RED, Phantom, and broadcast cameras. Studio shoots follow facility specifications.
๐ข Studio Environments
In studios, the Jimmy Jib is commonly mounted on crab dolly wheels, HP pedestals, or standard dollies.
๐ ๏ธ Technician Included
Every quote includes a dedicated Jimmy Jib Technician to ensure safe, efficient, and dynamic shooting.
๐ฅ We operate the latest Jimmy Jib Triangle systems, from 6ft to 30ft reach, capable of flying everything from DSLR and Canon cameras to Sony XDCAM, HDCAM, RED, and even 16mm or 35mm film cameras.
