MovieTech has added the newly developed MovieJib to its crane range. It is based on the ABC lightweight Crane 120, whose combination of low weight and stability was used successfully at the 2006 Football World Cup.
The MovieJib’s extension length can be adjusted by up to half a metre in seconds without tools. A self-locking crank drive makes counterweight balancing easy, while handles and horizontal and vertical brakes support precise work. The camera can be guided almost weightlessly and panned accurately, even in tight spaces, without additional guy wires.
The MovieJib can be mounted on a tripod or MovieTech dollies and is compatible with MovieTech accessories. It was available as a set with a tripod for €6,400 excluding VAT in aluminium-silver or black.
