VZQJ-CPM3 Quick Jib Camera Crane + CPM-K3 remote head
VariZoom's QuickJib represents the perfect balance of quality and economy in a well thought-out design. This is the answer for those who love all of the options of the SnapCrane, but aren't ready to spend that much. The Quick Jib gives you many of the features of the Snap Crane at a more affordable price. With the Quick Jib you get an economical, but secure captive clamp system for extending the jib, along with lanyard-attached stainless aircraft pins for quick assembly.

The QuickJib is a professional, tool-free jib arm that assembles rapidly and safely. The QuickJib, like all of the products, was designed for years of trouble-free, reliable operation in the field. With attention to every detail, they have created a tool that will last generations with proper care.

CinemaPro Micro Remote Head with Advanced Console Controller
Using the same control system as the acclaimed CP and CP JR heads, the CP Micro offers the same frame-accurate, fully enclosed drivetrain, high-performance design at a much more affordable price and in a much smaller and lighter package. Ideal for Canon C100 & C300, Sony FS5, Sony A7RII, RED Raven, DSLRs and any other compact cameras under 12lbs, the CP Micro sacrifices nothing in quality but is tailored to meet the needs of shooters requiring a smaller and lighter package.

The CP Micro works with all of the existing CinemaPro control devices, including pan bars, hand wheels, advanced console, new "River" multi-head 28-axis console, Jibstick Pro and Jibstick JR.Built upon a legacy of exceptional quality at rational prices, the CP Micro will be perfect for any jib, remote pan/tilt or multi-camera studio control system.

Jib Arm

The QuickJib selectively uses industrial powder coating and anodizing for durable cosmetics, with stainless steel fasteners throughout. The slim QuickJib outperforms the competition by having less air resistance in breezy conditions than jibs utilizing a four-arm support system (never use in high-wind conditions). The QuickJib will mount to any 100mm tripod, although they recommend only using non-telescoping legs for safety.

Additionally, the quick extension kit attaches in minutes with absolutely no tools, as opposed to more cumbersome systems that require multiple tools and bolts to attach their extensions. The extension kit mates to the standard QuickJib with the Captive Clamp Joint system, which uses two ergonomic, high-torque hand knobs to compress the captive clamps, assuring the joint is rock solid.

Brake System
VariZoom's Brake system utilizes a heavy-duty plate that is securely mounted to the pivot section. Brake compression system is built into the left stator of the pan/tilt base and designed to add significant variable drag, but forgiving enough to slide under extreme force that could otherwise topple a locking-brake jib system.

Locking Pins
Locking stainless aircraft pins of high quality and strength are used at the pivot points and they are attached by lanyard to prevent them from ever being lost.

Tilting Mechanisms
Camera platform and tilt base join to the jib arm with stainless aircraft pins that insert through sealed radial ball bearings at the tilt base and high-performance sleeve bearings at the camera platform, resulting in silent, smooth motion. The camera platform also has a built-in spirit level for quick reference and adjustment.

Telescoping Counterweight Section
Telescoping weight arm adjusts up to 3 feet for tremendous flexibility. Extend the arm to reduce the amount of weight needed, shorten it to work in tighter spaces or simply adjust it to fine-tune the counterbalance.

DCR100 Dolly
The heavy-duty dolly has an ample spread and a positive leg-locking system that securely captures the TCR100 crane tripod.

TCR100 Crane Tripod
The custom-built crane tripod is the only tripod they recommend for use with any crane, no matter the brand. They recommend you never use a telescoping or collapsible tripod under a crane, no matter how small. When supporting an expensive camera on a jib elevated above other valuable equipment or people, it is simply a no-brainer to eliminate all risk and use a single-section tripod instead of a telescoping type.

The TCR100 crane tripod is machined and built in-house and specifically designed to be used in combination with the DCR100 dolly. Safety & strength are top priorities: the TCR100 uses a solid machined (not molded) base-plate and fittings for strength and precision, specialty heavy-gauge tubing and oversize leveling feet for an ultra-stable design that will never falter or fail when used properly with the DCR100 dolly.

VariZoom jibs are professional tools with quick setup, long-term reliability and outstanding performance. Look closely to see the finer details of the thoughtful design, including tool-free assembly and stainless quick-release pins attached by lanyard so they'll never be lost. Scroll down to see how VariZoom takes your investment seriously.
