The Jimmy Jib Triangle features a fully remote pan and tilt head, providing a smooth, floating image that can move above, around, below, or through an object or into a scene with flawless precision. The length and height of the jib lets the camera reach areas that would be impossible to get to by any other means.
Control over Canon and Fujinon 20pin internal zoom and focus motors, legacy ENG lenses, lanc cameras, and cinema lenses, make the jib ideal for live broadcast and cinematographers alike.
The 3 and 4 wheel dollies make it easy to transport the jib on location. The custom doorway jib fits through common 32-inch doorways, making it possible to roll a jib in and out of a location with small entryways.
The Jimmy Jib Triangle is the perfect choice for productions looking for a versatile, reliable and easy to use jib system, which can be customized to suit a wide range of needs and applications.
