6 ft. Compact Camera Crane Jib

I'd like to start by saying I like to be optimistic & give the benefit of the doubt it most certainly paid off. Advanced digital has exceeded my expectations with this jib arm , weighing in at around about 14 plb's and a mere cost of $150.00 this is the bang for your buck people. Construction of this jib is of very sturdy quality & as simple as pie to get set up , this is a wonderful product and I myself will most definitely say I recommend it. so why not add that visual upgrade your production has needed by purchasing this great product from advanced digital. Did I mention they also have a support to help you out. Oh by the way to answer any questions also ................no monitor, no tripod, no carry, no weights, no monitor bracket people must be purchased separately and the they also sell extension's that can fit any of there jibs.

The meat and bones of this Jib are fantastic. Solid build and great price. Some suggestions I could make for the manufacturer:1) When you're machining the silver pieces that connect the top portion to the lowed, round off the corners. The metal is VERY sharp!2) If you're going to make a heavy duty Jib, please put the same amount of attention to the actual camera support. I'm using a GH5 with light cage and it's literally dipping down to the left because its not strong enough to support that much little weight.3) Supply at least two holes in the camera support bracket. I don't trust one screw holding gear onto a swiveling arm 8' into the air. At least two points of contact will prevent the base of the camera from spinning.Needless to say, I'll be going to Home Depot to find a stronger piece to replace the current camera support and will be drilling a few more holes so I can mount a cheese plate. Options....a must!Other than that its a solid buy. I'm crafty so I won't give this less than 4 stars because I enjoy making things better.Thanks for your product.

Too heavy... Craftsmanship did not impress... Did I say "Too Heavy"?.....I'll be replacing this with Avenger Travel Jib (mag alloy).

This is my first jib..I can't compare it to anything but it is very sturdy and well built..I purchased the stand with it. Which u will need or a really tripod that can hold weight..but it's very easy to out together..I would recommend this to others

I didn't know much about cranes before buying this one. It was easy to put together. I do suggest using a ratchet if you have one. I do find the crane to be a little heavy but I think I prefer that over something light or flimsy. This crane is definitely sturdy.I thought the instructions could have been clearer, which is why I took one start off. The extra nuts and bolts in the box didn't help in trying to figure out what part to use where.

Once the crane jib found it's way to me by UPS, I began working with it and learning how to use it on location to record smooth flowing shots, it adds a iconic appearance to my set up on stage!

Great jib for beginners. easy to setup. With a steady hand you can get some real smooth and professional shots. I find 15lbs works best when counterbalancing a DSLR. Great Buy.

For the price point, I was expecting thin walled aluminum and so-so construction... I was pleasantly surprised. The arm was very solid the fit and finish was professional. The square tube was 1/8 inch thick and the post that the two square tubes join is actually solid machined aluminum. I found the arm to be a very very good value.They also shipped a little bag of nuts and bolts, and two pages of instructions. .. Included are a couple extra nuts and bolts.Packing was okay, better than some, not as good as others. The arm was floating in a box two parts. Each part was wrapped twice in 1/4 foam and packing tape. There were zero dings or bends, but I could imagine a careless UPS guy could be rough on it.All in all a very solid purchase.
