Jib Counterweight Option
Some lightweight jibs may not have enough mass to neutralize the high acceleration and torque of the
CP Jr head. If the motion of the head causes your jib to sway from side to side in a way you want to
eliminate, we have a counterweight option that will effectively eliminate the problem.
Heavier jibs will not be affected much, and the effect is only significant during sudden moves. Adding
our counterweight to the CP Jr balances out the rotational inertia so even lightweight jibs will not be
susceptible to the swaying effect caused by sudden moves.
Attaching the counterweight is simple.
Before attaching the counterweight, fix
the
head to your jib.
(1) Start by attaching the interface
plate
to the head with the 4 small screws
