Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this work with Canon G50 or similar LANC style remote controlled cameras?

A: You most certainly will be able to use a camcorder like the G50 on this jib. However the remote included will not control the zoom on the camera. You would just need to add an additional LANC controller and extension cable for that. Varizoom Controller - https://bhpho.to/2l5fHGu Extension cable - https://bhpho.to/2Jc1iDl

Q: 2. Does this come with the weights for the crane?

A: No it does not.

Q: 3. Can a DJI ronin 2 be mounted to this? If so, can it be mounted in an upright position? Thanks in advance.

A: Yes, the DJI Ronin 2 3-Axis Handheld/Aerial Stabilizer can mount to the VariZoom QuickJib with Extension and operate upright when using the Ronin 2 universal mount.

Q: 4. Would this kit handle a small camera (Sony PXW-X200) and teleprompter assuming the combined weight is below stated limit. Will it be able to balance with the prompter on? Thanks!

A: We must admit not hearing about using a teleprompter on a crane before. But that is not to say it cannot work. In certain situations it may be the perfect or only solution. That being said, we have the opinion that since the Sony PXW-X200 weighs 10 lbs and the payload of the VariZoom QuickJib Kit is 50 lbs, as long as the teleprompter is less than 40 lbs, you will be good. There may be an outside chance the baseplate cannot go back far enough to balance. In that case, a longer base plate would solve the problem.

Q: 5. What size tripod head works on this jib? 75mm?

A: Unfortunately, that specification is not explicitly defined by manufacturer at this time.

Q: 6. How much ground (floor space) and operational space around the Jib does this need?

A: According to Varizoom the center of the included dolly to the dolly leg is 22 inches. The jib itself will go up 10 feet, you would want to have at least that much clearance around it. To be safe you may even want to be in the 15-20 foot range.

Q: 7. How long does it take to go from in the case to operational with this Jib? Does it come with/ have a recommended case?

A: This kit includes a Crane Case along with cases and bags for the various components included. As far as how long it will take to set up, there will certainly be some learning curve with the set up to start. I would imagine it will take a sometime once you first start using it and as you get more familiar with the product you'll be able to have it up in a matter of minutes down the line.

Q: 8. What is the horizontal reach of this crane?

A: 9'6" - 13'9" (2.9 - 4.2m)

Q: 9. What sort of tripod can this be mounted on? Is there a specific Varizoom product that it has to be mounted on or will it work with a general Manfrotto or Sachtler?

A: Hi I use an older manfrotto that has pins that lock the legs. Don't know the model off hand. You DO NOT want to put on any tripod with collapsible legs with legs extended. It would be a hazard. Also the tripod has a 75mm bowl that the jib base fastens to. Very sturdy once assembled. Varizoom makes a solid leg tripod/ stand for ap. $900.00 You will need a heavy duty tipod for sure. It's a lot of weight with jib, camera, hot head and counter-weights. You will be happy with this jib. Set up is very quick. I just made an extension for mine it gets powder coated in 2 weeks! Can't wait to try it. Best of luck

Q: 10. What size tripod bowl does this fit into? Standard 100mm?

A: The VZQUICKJIB QuickJib is meant to accept flat and ball tripod heads. If ball, it should be a 100mm head.
