Cinema Crane for DSLR's and Cinema Camera's

3 years later, still looks and feels great and gets the job done! The buyer responded quickly when we noticed a handle was not included A YEAR later when we finally took it out the box, and he sent it to us ASAP!

I purchased this jib because of its price and based on some reviews I found online. It is very light and compact. It works great with small DSLR cameras with lenses that are not too heavy. Be aware that you need to get a good stand or a solid tripod with a head that will handle at least 18lbs or more. You also have to buy some weights. This is not a jib for large cameras or even DSLRs with heavy pro lenses.It is also not intended to take your camera very high (depending on the stand). However I have been able to produce really beautiful and steady commercial shots in a wide variety of situations where I was working with a limited budget, a one man crew, reduced space and a small camera like the Canon T4i. For anything heavier than a compact DSLR or a small prosumer camera I would definitely explore other options.

First time using a camera crane? I recommend this one. While it is slightly wobbly, practice with it and you can get some really smooth shots. You can find weights to put on the handle at most athletic stores like Dick's Sporting Goods.

No matter how much you adjust the hardware, there is a subtle wobble when moving camera up and down. It does fine for non commercial work.

It was excellent! Hi quality and functions perfectly! If you don't need a super long Jib this is the way to go...

The thing is rock solid. Wish it were a little longer, but for small budget stuff, it's perfect for just a bit of motion!

great. we adapted it a little, great.

I give it a 4 because honestly it is not as smooth as I would like for it to be however you can get some amazing shots however you will have to rig it up like get at monitor to plug your camera up to it works for all my cameras i own a dslr a sony fs5 and a sony fs100 but i always wait months later to give reviews and this product is decent I purchased around March or so in 2017 its June now and it has been great.
