JIB STAND
( Tripod , camera and weights are not included)
A jib is useful for getting high shots, or shots which need to move a great distance horizontally or vertically, without the expense and safety issues of putting a camera operator on a crane or laying track for a dolly. A jib can even be mounted on a dolly for shots in which the camera moves over obstacles such as furniture, when a normal dolly shot could not be used.
In cinematography, a jib is a boom device with a camera on one end, and a counterweight and camera controls on the other. It operates like a see-saw, but with the balance point located close to the counterweight, so that the camera end of the arm can move through an extended arc. A jib permits the camera to be moved vertically, horizontally, or a combination of the two. A jib is often mounted on a tripod or similar support.

Now you can start creating those dramatic jib arm shots that you see in almost every film. You've seen them, it's shots like the ones that start high in the air and lower to the ground, all the while focused on the subject or object. Another shot done with a jib arm that you've probably seen is where the camera is focused on two people talking, then they turn and walk away from the camera as the camera raises up in the air to provide a wide shot of them walking away. |
