  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Jib/Crane advice for the SCARLET

I really like my Porta Jib Traveller. Easy (!!!!) to set up - you don't attach / screw anything on, just extend everything after you pull it out of the case. As for being heavy? It comes in an inner space case with rollers… as for being pricey? Unless you move to a much heavier camera (don't see that happening since everything just gets smaller) you will never buy another.

Having said all of that; I saw some great looking jibs at N.A.B. this year. Lot's of Carbon fibre, interesting designs etc - the Cinevate prototype looked really interesting, they said they would be shipping in 6-8 weeks. There was even one that used 1, 2, and or 3 Litre pop bottles for counterweight - I guess you just sipped on some pop to fine tune the balance?
