The DSLR Devices Jib – Video Review

by Sebastian WöberMay 24^th, 2012

cinema5D member TimFok has recently created this very nice review of the DSLR Device Jib. A small, lightweight and affordable jib by a company based in Great Britain.

From TimFok’s blog:
One addition I’d like to add that I didn’t include in the video, is a comment on the brake unit. This is connected using the two supplied bolts and wing nuts. When tightened up it does it great job, holds the full weight of my 5D, lens and 701 effortlessly. What I wasn’t such a fan of was when it was not in use.
Due to the length of the bolts, it was difficult to find a position where the brake wasn’t retaining any tension, but wasn’t so lose that it was in danger of falling off completely. A simple solution would be to have slightly longer bolts, meaning you could put the brake in a safe ‘off’ position without risking the nuts falling off.

The DSLR Devices Jib is £235 ($369) and can be ordered here: LINK
