Based on the Cam Mate jib arm, Camera Support jibs provide a level of precision rarely seen in a portable camera crane. Custom leveling systems and cable supports provide unparalelled stability in a wide variety of shooting conditions. The electronic controls are tailored to the high demands of the professional cameraman, from highly adjustable motor responses to ergonomic features.

Camera Support jib arms range in size from six to forty feet in three foot increments*, as measured from pivot to camera. Three dolly types are available to suit your needs on stage or on location, on track or on the ground.

A custom nosepiece allows rapid conversion from under to overslung heads and feature a Mitchell-style mounting to accomodate many types of camera platforms. Three styles of electronic remote heads are available ranging from lightweight video to large 35mm film camera capability.

All Camera Support jib arms are delivered complete with arm, dolly, remote head, all controls and a variety of adapters and cables to allow integration with most cameras. Special camera mounting and connection requirements can always be met. Contact a Camera Support rental agent for more information.

*Actual arm length varies slightly from industry-standard numbers. See technical information. Three foot increments not available above twenty-four foot arms.
