A Guide to Professional Video Camera Cranes and Jibs
Professional video camera cranes and jibs offer complete control, and help eliminate shakiness when filming panoramic scenes. As a result, you get smooth, high-quality videos. Professional video camera sliders offer similar benefits.
Why Use Camera Cranes and Jibs?
Without camera jibs, you'll have your camera in your hands or on a tripod, which limits the number of ways you can shoot your videos. With camera jib arms, the opportunities are limitless. You can take a bird's-eye view for your cooking videos, top-down shots over desks and tables, aerial shots of your audience, and more. These cranes and jibs also allow you to capture videos at various heights without causing interruptions to the footage with each movement. When you use them with professional video camera crane P/T heads, you'll have many more framing options that can help you explore your creativity as a videographer.
Other Considerations
To determine the right rig for you, compare the total horizontal and vertical reach of the crane or jib, as well as the types of shots you'll be taking. Small jibs, such as the Kessler pocket jib, have a maximum reach of about 3.5 feet. Advanced models can have a horizontal reach of up to 25 feet. You also need to consider the load capacity of the jib or crane. This depends on the weight of your camcorder or camera, along with other <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Accessories-for-Cranes-Jibs/ci/13198/N/3907816542" href="https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Accessories-for-Cranes-Jibs/ci/13198/N/3907816542" "="">professional video camera crane accessories you use. Mini cranes with small camera payloads are perfect for small videography tasks. For extensive filming needs, you'll need equipment with a payload of more than 40 pounds. Remember to think about the portability of your crane jib kits. Carbon fiber cranes are more lightweight than aluminum ones, making them more portable. Because of their sturdiness, aluminum cranes help you create videos that are more stable.
