Product Highlights

We proudly add the brand new GIZMO Jib to our Jib family. It offers the perfect combination of versatility, reliability and stability in a high quality crafted package.
Our new Gizmo Jib is a true all-rounder. Compared to other jib arms in its class, it has convincing advantages:

  • Always the ideal jib length: modular interchangeable front segments with 0.25 m and 0.5 m as well as a telescopic front segment with 40 cm extension allow for any desired length between 0.6m and 3.6m.
  • Perfect balance: the rear section of the GIZMO jib can be freely extended by up to 33 cm using a hand crank, without being restricted to predefined positions.
  • Robust and stable: strong brakes in all movement axes, hard-coat surface and backlash-free connection between all segments.
