JIB ARMS
α-jib
The α-Jib is more than just another jib arm or small
crane, it has proved itself to be an extremely versatile
and time efficient piece of equipment, capable of
adapting from large stage work to very confined sets.
With lengths ranging from 3’10” to 14’6” and heights
from below floor level to 14’7” we have used it
continuously during the production of “Inkheart” both on
exterior locations and within the studio system.
Using SL Pod, Scorpio Stabilized and Libra remote
heads, with anamorphic lenses and 1000’ loads, it has
proved in- valuable in achieving the visions of the
creative talents on this picture.
- Lightweight, Durable construction
- Fast easy Set-up in all configurations
- Fits any Mitchell Mounted Dolly
- New Base Dolly has double ended steering
- Affordable for all productions
A piece of treasure...the lightweight crane, the a-jib. A
very versatile and ro- bust crane ....capable of taking
a Libra, but works well with the SL Pod. It can go
almost anywhere you like with no fuss (a small crane
with big ideas)...
