JIB STAND

This is our modification of the ULTIMATE brand speaker stand. If your tripod is too weak to support the jib, counterweight, and camera/fluid head, then get this lightweight (8 pound) solution. Also great if you want to have the quick change capability that comes from having a jib stand and a separate set of tripod legs - no dismantling the jib and weights to go back to your tripod. Saves time and trouble, and also rises to lift your jib base 6.5', giving you a maximum lens height of nearly eleven feet for moves that look like you rented a crane. Low cost, too!

EXTENSION BAR

This unit extends your counterweight away from the pivot point 24 inches and therefore reduces the total counterweight by 60%! Normally you'll have to carry about 75 pounds of counterweight for the average shoulder carried pro video or film camera and fluid head, but this extension bar cuts that down to 25 or 30 pounds! A back saver. Use this with our JIB BAG below and carry a couple of sand bags as counterweight. If you are jibbing in tight quarters you may have to forgo the extension bar, but works fine in most situations. Weighs 8 pounds.

$125

JIB BAG

This semi rigid, heavy duty bag has a built it clamp that holds tight to the weight bar. This bag won't swing or sway and ruin your shots. Fill it with sand, gravel, rocks, etc and dump when you are through, and you won't have to carry those heavy barbell weights anymore.

UNDERSLUNG BRACKETS

This unique bracket allows you to put your tripod head on top of your camera. This lets you fly your camera on the Seven Jib and have it float just above the floor, or over a table. Your head will operate normally except that it will be upside down and any counterbalance you have will not operate correctly. If you have a carry handle on your camera you can just put your quick release plate from your fluid head on that and forget this bracket, but those 1/4-20 screw holes in camera handles are meant for carrying a microphone or light, not for flying the camera around. The underslung bracket cradles your camera from below, and it’s great for those fly over the cereal or past the actor shots - tabletop work in general. Use your imagination. Various sizes available from prosumer video to light 35mm cameras - specify camera and camera heights.

$75 - $150

Z-BRACKETS

The Z-Bracket is just like the Underslung, but now your head will be along side your camera, instead of over it. This allows you to go as low as the underslung bracket, but your head is right side up so the counterbalance works correctly, and the center of balance can be right along the tilt axis. This means that you may find it much easier to tilt with the Z bracket instead of the underslung bracket. Two drawbacks: 1) your camera and head are side by side so it may be harder to fly the rig between narrow objects, and 2) the camera is set off to the side of the head, and therefore the jib, and if you have a really heavy camera you shouldn’t use the Z bracket (or be VERY CAREFUL - have an assistant secure it at all times) because the rig will be unbalanced and could tip over. Any camera over 20 pounds should be used with extreme caution with the Z bracket.

150mm KIT

Use this larger bowl and base if you have a larger fluid head with a 150mm ball base. The 150mm bowl bolts to the end of the jib in place of the standard 100mm bowl that comes with the jib, and the aluminum base screws to the bottom of the Seven jib and allows it to sit on top of your 150mm bowl legs, rather than falling into them.

$295

75mm ADAPTER

This steel adapter fits inside of the standard 100mm bowl that comes with THE SEVEN JIB and allows you to use smaller 75mm ball fluid heads inside of it. If you have a smaller tripod that fits your 75mm bowl head, it probably won't hold up the jib and weights and your camera, so take a look at the JIB STAND above.

$30

MITCHELL KNOB

If you plan on mounting THE SEVEN JIB on MITCHELL topped legs or dollies, then you'll need the larger washered knob on the left instead of our standard knob, seen on the right. That's all you'll need, though, since the base of THE SEVEN JIB is stepped an d already fits into most all MITCHELL mounts.
