Neewer 70 inches/177 Centimeters Aluminum Alloy Jib Arm Camera Crane with 1/4 and 3/8-inch Quick Shoe Plate, Counter Weight for DSLR Video Cameras，Load up to 8 kilograms/17.6 pounds

Now this is a great product, if you want to get full potential out of it when using a dslr camera you will need some extra bags for weight especially when getting creative by using a ball head a small fluid head attached to the jib.You will also need a good strong fluid head if you want to attach it to a fluid head and not the tripod. By doing this you can now also pan to crest better videos. The job is very smooth when balanced properly. It actually feels like a good fluid head. Although it gives very smooth performance some parts of it make unwanted noise and this is the reason for marking down.

The product works very well as long as you can put it on a sturdy tripod. A £50 consumer tripod just won't offer the stability. Saying that the product comes in a neat bag with separate places for all parts. It assembles very quickly and is easy to use. I used it with a 2.7 kg weighing Camera and it worked well. The movement is stable and creates a professional effect. I would not advice its use with heavier cameras. Also use at least a tripod with a 3/8 inch fixing screw. I had a 1/4 inch and it felt like it could snap any moment.

The media could not be loaded. What really surprised me, this crane actually giving you more versatile for still shots than the camera on the tripod itself. Regards of great movements as the cranes usually do, on this one you can lock it on every position. So you can adjust height much faster, same as the angle. For such a cheap product (compared to other cranes) the build is decent. As you probably are using DSLR or Black Magic 4k/6k the freedom and lightness of the setup is a BIG advantage.I tried pushing the limits with a proper heavy camera inside the FilmCity cage, and I wouldn't recommend it simply due to the fact work with a heavy camera on the front making filming much harder without adding much benefit. I'm also always using a gimbal along with a crane, this allowing me to rapidly change the angle of the camera and depend on the situation, detached camera for run and gun situation.

The item is NOT exactly as described.The description shows that the mounting to the tripod is via a Horizontal Rotating Plate.Mine is different in as much that the HR plate was NOT supplied but instead there is a fixed flat plate that does not allow Panning. Whilst it would allow fixing to a tripod head this won't take into account the weight, ie, the jib+ camera+ weights etc . If , however, it was fixed Directly to the tripod this would not be a problem.According to the pictures in the description where the HR Plate is fitted there are 2 screw holes each side in the uprights ( which mine does NOT have ). So have i got a different model ?There is another couple of minor problems. 1) The camera plate locking lever can't be tightened sufficiently to lock.2) The lense indicating arrow on the underside of the camera plat is pointing the WRONG wayAll in all i'm dissapointed with this because in all other respects it is very well made.I am currently discussing this with the seller and Neewer

I'm using this with a Sony Rx ten camera which has a long motorised lens, and a small battery powered motorised head mounted on a heavy duty camera tripod.I like how both front and rear parts of this jib arm is telescopic so it comes apart so it packs down into about 3ft and fits into a decent padded bag that comes with it.It comes supplied with 2 1kg weights, I found with my rig I needed to add one more weight when at full extend but that was no problem as I have some old dumbells. The supplied weights screw on and hold it on just perfectly.The quick release slide plate has a bowl attached which I didn't need, it is easily removed with an Allen key.The slide plate has a removable rubber bung, this is so you can insert either a 3/8 or 1/4 screw, both of which are supplied (mine came with the 3/8 one fitted, it took me a while to find the 1/4 one I needed, that's what you get for not reading the manual, right chaps?)In use, it is easy to quickly balance the camera, and very smooth to swing the arm around getting some great low/high shots,The adjustable friction controls on both ends make it as loose or tight as you want.To tilt the camera if you don't have a motorised head, just tilt the tripod head a little but remember to keep hold of it and lock it off asap.

I purchased the crane a month ago and got the tripod separate and they're both awful, the ball on the tripod doesn't want to stay secured, the camera mounting plate is loose, the camera mount itself doesn't co-operate it either doesn't move or when it does it tilts up too much or droops down too much. Far too complicated to work, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT, IT IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL SCAM, it is not worth the £84 I spent on the crane and the £80 I spent on the tripod. For new and future buyers don't buy it and use the advice that I learnt from the YouTube channel called Dount Media, more expensive means its better. Sorry seller.

Excellent product at a really good price-ideal for those of us on a tight budget, or for occasional use.

Not yet sure about this. Need to use it more but not in a production environment. Found that the connection to the tripod was a bit weak and allowed the jig to turn and twist. The rods also move when having a large DSLR and decent lens on there (about 6 kilos) which means that the camera sags on the top of the Jig making it useless. That may improve once I connect it to the tripod in a better manner. You do need far more weights than were supplied - the jig is very unbalanced with what is supplied. It does have a helpful hook on the weight end so this is not a major issue. All in all for the money paid (which is low) it is what it is. Proper professional versions of these cost £800+ easily. I’ll give it another go and may just use it with lighter cameras for B roll stuff. We shall see.

Aguanta hasta una black magic design ya con lentes y equipo... Muy bueno.

Wow wat een beautyToen ik dit uit pakte stond ik echt versteld van het kwaliteit en hoe mooie dit jib gemaakt is.Je kan hem gewoon als een lamphouder gebruiken of als een decor in je huiskamerHet lengte is verstelbaar alles werkt zo smooth dat ik niet kon geloven dat dit zo goedkoop is.Alleen 1 ding kon beter en dat is de kop:het is niet verstelbaar zoals bij andere jibs met een hendeltje.Voor thuis gebruik zou ik hem niet aanraden maar voor buiten gebruik is het een must voor mooie shots.

I had been looking at boom arms for tripods as a way to photograph documents. This "jib arm" wasn't much more expensive and I thought I'd try it instead. It's terrific. The two horizontal arms can be extended or retracted separately, if you want your camera at an angle. Once set, the angle remains exactly the same if the jib is raised or lowered. It comes with two 1 kg weights (dumbbell weights, I think) that screw onto the back of the jib to counterbalance the weight of a camera. If the camera is heavy, or the jib is extended fully, you'll probably need more weight – there's a eyelet that can be used to attach a hanging weight, such as a small sandbag. Once the counterweights are set up correctly, everything moves very smoothly, and it's a pleasure to use.A few random thoughts... It comes with a holder for a ball tripod head. I removed this (it gets in the way), but if you use it, you may need extra weights. The weights screw on to the back of the tripod. There's nothing preventing them working themselves lose and falling off onto a nearby foot or family pet, so it might be wise to put some tape over the threads. I was hoping to use this to photograph documents, which requires that stays level. It seems good for that purpose if you add a tripod head or bracket so the camera can be pointed downwards. It is possible to unscrew the head end of the jib and turn it upside down. allowing the camera to be mounted on the bottom, but you do have to watch the order of a number of small washers inside the fasteners.For the price, this is an excellent deal.

Fabriqué en alliage d'alu, la grue élimine bien le tremblement et assure plus de stabilité. Magnifiquement conçu avec une finition noire élégante, c’est léger, facile à transporter et capable de prendre une lourde charge tout en restant très stable.
