No refunds if there are any scratches, labels, decals, cuts, marks,
scrapes or any other damage or wear to the jib arm. We have had
some problems in this area. Thank you for your understanding.

of the Jib) plus the weight of your camera.

The DV Jib Arm has been designed to meet the demands
of today's videographers. It's perfect for wedding videographers,
documentary producers, music video productions or for anyone who has the
need for a jib arm. The DV
Jib Arm requires NO tools to assemble and it breaks down into two
4ft sections. Setup is easy and it takes less than 3 minutes.
It comes in two 4ft sections. The two sections couple together and
are secured using the thumb screws provided. Next, wrap the cable
around the two pulleys. Then mount the Jib Arm to the tripod head.
Your are now ready to mount your camera and start using your Jib Arm.
We made it that easy.
Now you are ready to 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.
Dramatic shots like these can be achieved with the DV
Jib Arm. By using series of pulleys and cables, the DV Jib Arm allows
you to either keep the camera at the same level as you raise or lower it.
Or, you can tilt the camera angle while you raise or lower the Jib Arm.
The DV Jib Arm is constructed from
aircraft aluminum to keep it lightweight (it's only 8.5 pounds), yet very
durable. We use only oil impregnated bearings for a smoother
operation. The DV
Jib Arm has mounting holes for both the standard 1/4-20 thread and 3/8".
The DV Jib
Arm breaks down into 4ft section making it very easy to transport.
Plus, you won't need to take along a bunch of tools to assemble or
dis-assemble like you have to do with other jibs.
Operation of the DV Jib Arm is simple. To
tilt the camera simply tilt the tripod head as shown in the picture to the
right. You can tilt the camera while raising or lowering the jib.
If you want to pan, simply swing the jib to the right or the left on top of
the tripod head. The camera will maintain the angle you have it set
for while raising or lowering the jib arm OR you can change the angle while
raising or lowering the jib arm. (This is not something you can do
with some other jibs) You can also adjust the angle of the video camera
while the jib arm is stationary.
For raising and lowering the DV Jib Arm you simply
hold onto the handle bars to raise it or lower it. You can even add
standard barbells weights for counter balance weights. Simply slide
them over the handle bars as shown in the picture on the below.
(Make sure your tripod can handle
the extra weight from the counter balance weights). Weights, Tripod
and operator not included.
There is room at the handle bar area to
add one of our ProZoom™
Controllers for remote control of the camera.
The DV Jib Arm is 8ft long and your video camera attaches to the
top mounting plate via the standard 1/4-20 screw. It attaches just
like you attach a camera to a tripod.
The DV Jib Arm supports video cameras up to 9 pounds.
As it was
designed for today's smaller Mini-DV, Hi-8 and Digital-8 camcorders such as the
DVX-100, PD-150/170, VX-2000/2100, GL-1, GL-2, TRV-900, XL-1, XL2,
Sony HDV HDR-FX1, and many
other video and film cameras. We recommend that you use the DV Jib Arm only with a
professional
heavy duty tripod that can support the weight of the jib arm, camcorder and
any other video equipment you attach to it.
We also offer
LCD Monitors
that can be attached to the Jib Arm so you can see exactly what
the camera is seeing.

Customer Comments:
"We have been using the
DV Jib Arm from Studio 1 Productions for the last month on an indie film
we are shooting. This was really a great purchase for us. It has
allowed us to create some very impressive shots with the DVX-100b we are
using to shoot the film. It's great to know there are companies
out there, such as yours, that provide affordable, quality equipment."
Marcus Sanchez, Filmworks
"I am a very happy
owner of your DV Jib Arm. I was amazed at how easy it was to
assemble. It takes me less than two minutes and I love the fact
that I don't need to worry about having tools with me. This is
something that you can't do with other jibs." Robert Conway,
Internet Email
"At the last Sundance Film Festival I saw
someone filming during the festival. They were using the Panasonic
DVX-100 and this jib arm. They said they were using the DV Jib arm
from Studio 1 with the Studio 1
ProZoom DVX.
After watching him use it for a few shots, I knew I had to get one.
I ordered as soon as I got back and I have been using on several shoots.
I am very impressed with both the
ProZoom DVX
and the DV Jib. If anyone is a serious videographer or filmmaker
working with the DVX-100, they really need both of these items.
Great stuff." Mark Bowman, Hollywood, CA
"I am blown away with this Jib. It is
incredible! The shots that you can get with it are unbelievable.
I love the fact that it takes only 2 minutes to set it up. I was amazed
at how solid and well made it is, you guys could charge double the price
for it. This has got to be one of the best pieces of equipment
that I own." Cory Baker, Internet Email
"What a great product! Your DV Jib
works like a champ. I only wished I would have purchased it
sooner. I have been working on a documentary film for the last few
months. I knew having a jib would be helpful, but since I got the
jib, I have been thinking about going back and reshooting a few scenes.
The shots I am able to produce are just in creditable and I feel that I
could improve my production with some jib shots. Once again great
product, very well built and solid." Harrison Banks, Las Vegas, NV
"Absolutely Fantastic! Easy to setup
right out of the box. After reading the directions, it took me
less then 3 minutes to setup. I used it on a job this past week
and I was able to get some really incredible shots. I was able to
get fluid movement with every shot I used it for. When I showed
the raw footage to the client, he was really excited about the jib
shots. Because of this, he gave me the go ahead to start working
on another promo video for him. He wants me to incorporate more
jib shots into the new video." Darren Cohen, Milwaukee WI.
"The DV Jib Arm is one of my best purchases
I've made in a long time. I shoot with an XL-1s and I needed a jib
arm that was portable, yet could handle the XL-1. I saw your DV
Jib Arm in action at a local theater company and I was really impressed
by the quality of the construction, the heavy gauge material you are
using, easy of use and the price. I immediately ordered one and it
arrived a few days later. So far I have used on several projects
and it works great. It has no problem handling the weight of the
XL-1s with an Anton-Bauer battery. I was also impressed at how
quickly it can be setup and taken down without the need for any tools.
(I want you to know that I had purchased a cheaper jib arm from
another company and I was very disappoint. That jib was poorly
constructed, it would flex with even a 5 pound camera and you couldn't
tilt the camera while you were raising or lowering the jib, even though
they claimed you could. I learned quickly that you get what you
pay for!) I have been recommending your jib to other
videographers, it is simply the best." Terry Walker, Internet
