edelkrone has just announced the JibONE v2, an update to their collapsible, go-anywhere, motorized camera control system. This update to their popular jib solution boasts updates that were shaped largely by customer feedback. Let’s see what features they’ve cooked up!

Released a little over 2 years ago, edelkrone’s original JibONE turned a lot of heads with its unique capabilities. Not only can this system help you create smoother camera movements, but it also collapses into a backpack and travel anywhere. It offers a fast and simple setup, silent and smooth motions, user-friendly time-lapse and stop motion options, and vertical, horizontal or diagonal operation.

JibONE v2 inherits the legacy of the original model, while offering a better overall user experience via a series of new connectivity and power features in a more compact form factor.

Such improvements include a physical power button, a screen displaying fundamental information, as well as an improved wireless connection. Moreover, the system now gets support for a fully wired operation via Link Port and comes with a stronger, more resistant head plate.

edelkrone JibONE v2: app and remote control

The new edelkrone JibONE v2 is compatible with smartphone devices via a Bluetooth app. The app scans its surroundings to look for a compatible device, then pairs automatically. It allows users to control the most important settings of their JibONE v2 and edelkrone modules. Moreover, the company also offers a physical remote controller that is compatible with all their motorized systems, including this new model.
