Operation Tips:
Always make sure your tripod is capable of
handling the load of the camera/rig, counterbal-
ance and jib.
Using sandbags or straps to add stability may
be necessary in some shooting conditions.
*Never remove the camera or counterweights*
without the appropriate support to
prevent the jib from swinging up or down.
Securely mount jib to the tripod and double
check your level. It is not recommended to mount
the jib to a tripod fully extended. It is also recom-
mended to open up mid-level spreaders or
ground spreaders to allow the widest stance for
support.
Use caution when adjusting the Jib.
DO NOT
adjust the telescoping sections of
the jib with the camera mounted.
The camera needs to be removed when
adjusting the telescoping sections to
prevent damage to camera or pinching
Always operate jib on solid level ground.
Double check and tighten all joints thoroughly to
prevent unwanted extension/contraction.
Never swing the jib around or over a crowd.
Take time to prepare and know what weight and
camera specs you will be using when you shoot.
It is best to familiarize yourself with balancing the
jib with different loads before arriving on set to
shoot.

your camera/rig
