Jib Sizes:
The Jimmy Jib Triangle is available in seven sizes.  Completely modular, the jib can be built to size once we're on set or location.  Keep in mind, bigger is not always better.  Sometimes a shorter arm can offer more 'swing', creating more dramatic results.  The following table indexes the seven sizes available.  The 'arm's reach' is the length between the fulcrum (pivot point at the tripod) to the camera's end of the arm.  The 'camera height' is the lens height at maximum tripod height, with the head overslung.  The 'rear clearance' is the distance needed on the back side of the arm to accommodate the rear jib sections and the operator.
 
  Arm's reach Camera height Rear clearance
1 24ft. 30ft. 8ft.
2 18ft. 25ft. 8ft.
3 15ft. 23ft. 8ft.

Building the Jib:
Once loaded in, building the jib will take 45-90 min depending on jib length and camera configuration.  Film and video cameras up to 50lbs. including accessories can be supported.  The jib is built on a 3-wheel dolly for easy repo.

Remote Head:
The Jimmy Jib remote head gives the operator control over pan and tilt functions.  In addition, for a video camera with a Fujinon or Canon ENG lens, the operator will have control over zoom, iris, focus and vtr start/stop functions. 

High Definition:
We are high-def ready.

Power:
The jib and monitor require standard AC power.  All-day battery power is available upon request.
