Important
Operation Tips:
Always make sure your tripod is capable of
handling the load of the camera/rig, counterbal-
ance and jib.
Using sandbags or straps to add stability may
be necessary in some shooting conditions.
*Never remove the camera or counterweights*
without the appropriate support to
prevent the jib from swinging up or down.
Securely mount jib to the tripod and double
check your level. It is not recommended to mount
the jib to a tripod fully extended. It is also recom-
mended to open up mid-level spreaders or
ground spreaders to allow the widest stance for
support.
Use caution when adjusting the Jib.
DO NOT adjust the telescoping sections of
the jib with the camera mounted.
The camera needs to be removed when
adjusting the telescoping sections to
prevent damage to camera or pinching
Always operate jib on solid level ground.
Double check and tighten all joints thoroughly to
prevent unwanted extension/contraction.
Never swing the jib around or over a crowd.
Take time to prepare and know what weight and
camera specs you will be using when you shoot.
It is best to familiarize yourself with balancing the
jib with different loads before arriving on set to
shoot.
Take notes on the counterweight you will need for
your camera/rig
Along with the weight included you may want to
also purchase one each for ease of leveling. The
maximum load fully extended will require About
20 lbs of counterbalance.
Additional weights recommended:
1.25 lbs
2.5 lbs
5 lbs
12.5 Lbs
Attach the supplied mounting stud to the Jib base.
Tighten the stud thoroughly.
Option A (75mm or 65mm tripod)(Most recommended)
Fit the jib base into the bowl of the tripod and use the
supplied hand knob to tighten and level the jib base.
Always tighten the knob thoroughly and be certain to
periodically check that it is tight throughout the
movements of your shoot.
Mounting the
Jib to Tripod:
Option B (Flatbase Tripod with 3/8”16 stud)(For Lighter Loads)
When mounting to a flatbase Tripod with 3/8”-16 stud, the jib
base will thread directly onto that stud. Be certain to tighten the
3/8” screw from tripod periodically when moving during your
shoot.
After Mounting the jib you may begin mounting your
counterweight but it is recommended that you lock the
pan and tilt brakes
(shown Below) when removing or adding any weight on the Jib.
Mounting the
Jib to Tripod:
The JIB-01C has a two stage telescoping arm that can
extend and contract depending on the desired length.
The rear portion of the Jib also telescopes providing
quick counterbalance adjustments. The longer the arm
the more extended the rear counterweight tail will need
to extend.
Telescoping
Arm Adjustments:
To begin add the supplied weight to the tail section. To do
this you will need to attach the Tail Threaded
Counterweight Bolt securely. Next collect the supplied
weight (5.5lbs) the carabineer and washer for Weight bag,
and place on the bolt and secure with the Counterweight
Retainer Nut.The Jib will start a little tail heavy, but as you
extend the Jib it will balance out.
Decide how long you want to extend the Jib, then start by
extending the first stage.
Extend the Jib at the first set of twist locks (the larger set closer to the
base of tripod) Loosen the twist locks and pull out the camera platform
to desired length and fully tighten the twist locks. Please note that
there are bubble levels in two places to balance the camera platform.
One under the plate and another at the front of the baseplate carrier
platform. You may need to make small adjustments to balance the
baseplate carrier before you mount your camera.
Telescoping
Arm Adjustments:
• All twist locks are tightened
• You have leveled Jib
• Fully tighten the Jib level knob
•Make sure you have measured out your
camera and prepared the correct amount of
counterbalance weight needed.
• Stabilize the Jib arm with a chair table or stand
and engage the pan and tilt locks
*Please note that the telescoping twist locks have a passive locking mechanism. If the twist lock
only moves a small amount when loosening you are protected from abrupt sliding of the jib
stages. The lock will break loose with an additional hard twist and allow adjustment as desired
. Before moving on to the next step mounting the camera please be certain:
The Camera may be mounted on a camera
quick release plate
Also a Fluid head may be mounted on the
included 75mm quick release bowl plate
When using a Fluid head option
you will need to add appropriate
counterweight to compensate for
its weight. You may also use the
provided weight bag as an
additional counterweight and dial
in exactly the amount of weight
required for your particular
Below is a guide to help dial in potential
balancing scenarios:
Attach the counterweights to balance the approximate
payload . Once the camera is attached with the counter-
weights added, fine tune the balance by sliding the tail
section in or out. When the jib is level (parallel to the
ground), it should float.
When using the traditional camera release
plate you will be operating from the rear of
the Jib and will likely require a monitor.
There are ¼” – 20 thread mounting points
at the base of the jib to achieve this. This
configuration is better for wide sweeping
shots.
Half Extended Jib
Camera 3 lbs requires 6.75 lbs counterweight w/ tail extended almost fully
Camera 4lbs requires 9.25 lbs counterweight w/ tail extended almost fully
Camera 7 lbs requires 13.75 lbs counterweight w/ tail extended almost fully
Fully Extended Jib
Camera 3 lbs requires 9.25 lbs counterweight w/ tail extended almost fully
Camera 4 lbs requires 13.75 lbs counterweight w/ tail extended almost fully
Camera 7 lbs requires 19.25 lbs counterweight w/ tail extended almost fully
Compact Jib (not extended at all)
Camera 3 lbs requires 6.75 lbs counterweight w/ tail NOT extended OR 3.75 lbs
counterweight w/ tail extended almost fully
Camera 4lbs requires 9.25 lbs counterweight w/ tail NOT extended OR 5.5 lbs w/ tail
Once you have picked the shooting scenario you plan on using it is recommended to recognize what counterbalance
weight you will need for each camera/lens rig/head configuration.
