The Jimmy Jib III has been the industry workhorse for years. Its modular design and light weight lends itself perfectly to video and 16mm productions as well as 35mm in given circumstances. Our Jimmy Jib III's flexible design with 4 possible arm configurations can put the camera up to 30 feet in the air with a reach of 8' to 25'. Built on a moveable dolly, the Jimmy Jib III can be easily repositioned.
