Operating

the JIB

Once you have leveled the jib you can begin staging and

rehearsing your moves. The Jib will operate similar to your

tripod head as it has a pan and tilt locks. When shooting

release the locks and when at rest place them back to

locked position.

The Jib will achieve smooth cinematic sweeping shots,

Boom and arched shots from a variety of angles using slow

smooth adjustments. To acheieve the best shots avoid

sudden movements and feather your stopping positions so

they will look the smoothest on camera.
