question

I've never used a jib before. Thinking of getting for use with a Canon XA20 and/or EOS 70D. I need clarification on how these work. Can I put on my Manfrotto 503 head? If I set my camera for the view I want at eye level, will it maintain that orientation when I raise the camera to full height? Or would I need to view with my Nexus 7 via wi-fi to be sure I'm getting the same field? When fully extended will I have full control of the camera to get the view I want? Will the jib raise and lower smoothly so I can shoot video while moving? Would you recommend the Genustech Mini for my use? I need something very portable, quick and easy to set up and take down by one person. Any suggestions for an alternative jib? I'd like something in the $500 range. Thank you!
Asked by: Thomas
The Genustech jib is very easy to set up. There is however, like all equipment, a certain learning curve. One basic is to turn off your optical stabilization. Yes, I know the sounds obvious, but it took me a while to learn this. Another thing is that it's very easy to move too fast, and you really need to slow down. I use the jib with an older 501 head ( just an older version of the 503), and Panasonic AG series camcorders. I have used it with other equipment , but not that often. I use a DelvCam monitor with an HDMI cable to view my shots because I do not have wi-fi on my current camera, so I can't answer all your questions.Smooth operation is possible with the Genustech with practice. It's a lot of jib for a small price.I hope this helps.

question

Is there some kind of bracket available for me to attach my Nexus 7 to use as a monitor? Something that would make it quick and easy to clip on or remove when I set up the jib?
Asked by: Thomas
If the mount he has for his Nexus 7 has a 1/4 -20 or 3/8 threaded stud there are several places where an arm can be screwed into the pillar of the Jib-Arm.
