Camera Crane service

Our customized ABC crane is much more lightweght and easily to build and move through possible various set changing.
Here an example of a music video we shooted with our jib last year in
Bevagna and Assisi: we moved many times easily thorough the downtown
with ABC.

For lightweight cameras I normally use an ABC crane with 2 axis remote head, easier and more short time setup, better handling for different sets configuration. I can bring with me an FS5 camera with external Atomos recorder or FS7. Normally the crane crew is handled by 2 people.

Faq

What is a Jib?
In cinematography, a jib is a boom device with a camera on one end and a counterweight and camera controls at the other. It operates like a see-saw with a fulcrum in the center. A jib is useful for getting high shots, or shots that need to move a great distance; horizontally or vertically, without the expense and safety issues of putting a camera operator on a crane. The camera is controlled by a cabled remote control at one end, and at the other a super-responsive electro mechanic pan/tilt head (hot head) - allowing for smooth pans and tilts.

What is a Jimmy Jib?
The Jimmy Jib is a lightweight, modular camera crane system constructed out of triangular aluminum tubing. It has a relatively small pack-down size which allows for easy transportation and setup almost any location. Depending on the terrain of the location, the Jimmy Jib can be easily repositioned between shots, wheeled easily and quickly on smooth terrain or with provided time and care moved happily to another set-up point for rougher surfaces.

How high can the camera go?
Our Jib configurations can allow us to raise a camera to a lens height anywhere from 1.8 meters (6 feet) to 9 meters (30 feet), and depending on configuration requirements can support a camera up to the weight of 22.5 kilograms. This means any sort of camera, 4k or broadcast/video. See the diagram below for specifics.

The strength of the Jimmy Jib it is the "reach" of the crane arm that becomes the important factor in creating interesting and dynamic compositions plus allowing the operator to raise the camera above obscuring power-lines or animated concert goers - thus allowing for a clear, high wide shot if need be.

How low can it go?
With the "Triangle" Jimmy Jib set up in an "under-slung" configuration, the camera can be made to rest almost directly off the floor - making the minimum lens height about 20 centimeters (8 inches). Of course, if you're willing to dig a hole, cut away a section of the set or shoot on a platform this minimal lens height can be reduced.

How does the remote head work?
The remote head (or hot head) is operated with a joystick control panel. The controls are connected with a cable to the head, which contains fine pitch controlled electrical servo motors and gears. These are configured to allow the operator to pan, tilt and with an additional "slip ring", roll. This hothead is silent, allowing for effective operation in sound sensitive production environments.

How many people does it take to operate the Jimmy Jib?
Usually, two operators are required for the operation of the jib. One person "swings" (moves) the actual counter-balanced boom arm, whilst another operates the hot head. We supply all the operators / technicians required for operation of the Jimmy Jib.

How long does it take to set up a Jimmy Jib?
We will always ask you to allow one hour for a jib to be set up on a flat surfaced area, yet the jib is usually ready for operation in forty-five minutes. If the location is more hazardous, more time is required. It also takes around ten minutes to fit and balance the camera on the hothead.

Remote lens control
If a Focus Puller is required to operate the lens control for focus/zoom/iris, you will need to check with them if they prefer a wireless or hard-wired control unit. For the hard-wired option, a 10 meter (30 feet) cable is the minimum requirement - as well as a video tap for the camera.

Can your jib really take a RED or Sony F5? The great advantage of cameras such as the Red and F55 is that they are modular, meaning they can be built up or down to suit different situations. This means we can accomodate these cameras on our jib, if configured to be within the maximum weight limit. Our Jib has a 4 pin XLR power line which means heavy batteries are not needed.

Which camera/lens do you recommended for use on your jib? Ideally a broadcast camera, such as the PMW-800 & a super-wide HD lens is a great combination for use on the jib.

Can't I just rent a mini Jib? If you're looking to use a camera bigger than a DSLR Canon 5D, our Jimmy Jib is a good option.

How will focus and iris functions be controlled on cameras such as the RED & Sony F55? Generally the DP on the shoot will arrange a focus puller and remote focus kit.

Do you have a list of cameras your jib can support? There are a fair few cameras, from DSLRs, broadcast cameras to Digital Cinema Cameras that our Jimmy Jib can support. Please Email Us if you'd like to check if yours is supported. Our jib is best suited to broadcast cameras, where full iris, focus and zoom control can be achieved with Fujinon & Canon lenses.

Jimmy Jib Triangle Extreme

The Jimmy Jib has equipped itself with is a 12 meter, provided with a two axis remote head system, particularly versatile, suitable both for small productions and for sporting and big productions. Belonging to the family of camera cranes with remote head, the Jimmy Jib Stanton is undoubtedly the most versatile and light model. The system offers a series of advantages which can be resumed as follows: the extraordinary handiness for transport and therefore the possibility to reach inconvenient places and locations; the extreme versatility, thanks to the possibility to choose it in different configurations, the right length of crane, which can be shortened or lengthened based on the need of the current shot, the circumstance that it is designed to be operated by a single operator as well as by both an operator and an assistant grip; the light weight movement making it suitable for changes to the original setup with little waste of time. The remote head permits 360° ‘pan’ and ‘tilt’ movement, controlled by a simple joystick, thanks to the slip –ring technology. The system includes a wide range of zoom remote controls dedicated to all professional optics and broadcast Canon and Fujinon. A single cable allows the connection among all signals: 1 Triax, 2 video, Time Code, Genlook, Connessione Lanc for DvCam, supply and optics control . Speed and acceleration regulations allow to ensure fluid or speed movements based on specific needs of the current shot.
