Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

About Jimmy Jib
Explore the features of our Jimmy Jib Triangle, using triangular aluminum tubing for superior strength and rigidity. Simpler, lighter, and packages better. The segmentally designed jib arm ensures easy installation and transport. Our jib comes with a full-function single-arm double-axis remote head, providing smooth, fast, and quiet operation.

What is a Jib?
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.

How High Can the Camera Go?
Our Jib configurations can raise a camera to a lens height from 1.8 meters (6 feet) to 15 meters (46 feet), supporting cameras up to 22.5 kilograms. This includes 16mm, 35mm, or broadcast/video cameras. See the diagram below for specifics.

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.

How low can it go?

In an "under-slung" configuration, the "Triangle" Jimmy Jib can position the camera almost directly off the floor, achieving a minimum lens height of about 20 centimeters (8 inches). This height can be further reduced with adjustments to the set or platform.

How long does it take to rig the Jimmy Jib?

We recommend allocating up to 2 hours for Jimmy Jib rigging, depending on factors such as vehicle proximity and the working environment.

How easily can the Jimmy Jib be moved between locations?

Once initially set up, the Jimmy Jib can be easily repositioned on its wheeled base across level and clear ground. If the terrain is uneven, a rebuild may take around 30 minutes or more, depending on distance and conditions.

What is the required operating area for a Jimmy Jib?

The necessary space for the Jimmy Jib's operation depends on its size and counter-weight requirements. Refer to the diagrams below for measurements based on specific Jimmy Jib setups.

How does the remote head work?

The remote head, operated with a joystick control panel, uses fine pitch controlled electrical servo motors and gears. It allows operators to pan, tilt, and, with an additional "slip ring," roll. The silent operation is ideal for sound-sensitive production environments.

How many people does it take to operate the Jimmy Jib?

Typically, two operators are required—one for moving the counter-balanced boom arm and another for operating the hot head. We provide all necessary operators and technicians for Jimmy Jib operation.

How long does it take to set up a Jimmy Jib?

We recommend allowing one hour for setup on a flat surface, although the Jimmy Jib is often ready for operation in around forty-five minutes. Hazardous locations may require more time.

Can the Jimmy Jib carry 4k or 6k Digital Cinema cameras?

Yes, the Jimmy Jib can handle cameras with varying specifications, with a safe working load ranging from 27.5kg to 11.3kg, depending on the size of the Jimmy Jib built.

Which cameras do you use with the Jimmy Jib?

We embrace new technology and frequently use Digital Cinema cameras like the Sony FS7, Arri Alexa, Arri Amira, RED, or Phantom High-Speed camera. Studio or OB shoots involve collaboration with the facility's camera choices.

Film cameras

For focus/zoom/iris control, consult with the Focus Puller on their preference for a wireless or hard-wired control unit.

Studio Environments

The Jimmy Jib is commonly used in studio scenarios, mounted on studio crab dolly wheels, a converted HP pedestal, or a conventional dolly.

Does the Jimmy Jib need a Technician or Assistant?

All quotes include a Jimmy Jib Technician as a second person, ensuring efficient and dynamic shooting while adhering to safety guidelines.
