John Reynolds Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I am looking to hire a Jib and operator for one day during the second week of August (schedule still in the works) on Staten Island. Jib Length will need to be between 30' and 40' and have a remote head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted June 22, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2005 That's long enough to be called a crane... I used a Jimmy Jib for an F900 on one shot when I was last on the East Coast from this company: http://www.blackdogjib.com I don't know if your camera is light enough for a Jimmy Jib.

Here is a link to owners/operators from the CamMate site: http://www.cammate.com/owners_operators.cfm Laurence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Rosenbloom Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 30' to 40'?? From the post? W/ a remote head?? I think that's called a Phoenix Crane. You could call the IATSE Local 52 office (212 399-0980) and ask them about local owner-operators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Brad Grimmett Posted June 22, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted June 22, 2005 A Jimmy Jib's longest length is 40 feet, so you should be OK there. Just be careful about what kind of camera you put on it at that length. I know of a couple instances of jibs snapping with big cameras on them, such as a BL4, 535, or GII.
