Our Microdolly Jib is our camera jib of choice because it’s light weight and compact in size and, depending on its configuration, you can get your camera about 10 feet off the ground. It can be configured two ways. First, one can rent it as simple jib arm, the camera plate can automatically adjust camera tilt by degrees as the boom rises or falls to maintain the camera point of view. This automatic camera tilt control accommodates many shots without using a pan/tilt head. The second rental configuration involves our MicroDolly Power Head. The POWER HEAD uses super-smooth hi-tech cables to drive a fully adjustable clutch system with fluid head like precision. The operator can easily control camera pan and tilt moves by rotating handlebars.
The innovative weight basket allows you to use locally available counterweights such as books, sand bags, even rocks. It dramatically decreases the transporting weight, which makes this jib particularly suitable for traveling crews.
We’ve put together a pool of cameramen who are comfortable with our camera jib so you get the most out of it.
