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 HD, HDV, 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, Z1U 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.
