The VariZoom VZCINEMAPRO-JR-K5 is a high-performance compact jibstick control kit with a thumb control design. It consists of the Cinema Pro Jr Remote Head and the Jibstick Jr Control Unit, 50' Control Cable, 30' XLR Power Extension, Power Supply, and Case. At only 13 lb, the Cinema Pro Jr Remote Head is suitable for jib and crane applications. It can be set up quickly, and is capable of precise, repeatable movements at any speed. It can also be used as a high speed fixed-mount head or a mobile remote head for small to mid-scale productions.
Except for full motion control capability, the Jibstick Jr manual kit has all of the electromechanical performance of other kits. It employs a precision thumb control joystick on a compact handgrip control box, and The Jibstick Jr works beautifully where intuitive manual control is needed, and it can be upgraded later with an advanced console and pan bars or hand wheels. The new Jibstick Jr allows you to reverse direction on pan & tilt independently, adjust speed limits for pan & tilt independently, adjust joystick deadband, and set smoothing control for softer starts and stops.
The Cinema Pro Jr is precision-made yet rugged, and incorporates high-end features as precision enclosed drivetrain, and pan slip ring. Cost effective not only for big budget motion pictures, but for worship facilities, sports, concerts, newsrooms, military, government, and other film, video, and HD applications.
Made in the USA, the Cinema Pro Jr is constructed from body sections that are CNC-machined from solid billet to exacting standards, with high rigidity and structural integrity. The custom slip rings and robust motor drives are designed and tested intensively to perform flawlessly under demanding conditions, and the electronics and software have years of field testing behind them. Add to all this the assembly and QC done in VariZoom’s state-of-the-art facility, and you've got a high-caliber motion control head.
