This JonyJib2 Jr 8' Jib w/Rear Control Center is an 8' jib arm for 16mm, SD and HD cameras.
This device supports payloads up to 35 lbs (15.9 kg) and the telescoping octagonal boom sections are easily assembled.
The assembly is accomplished using a simple bolt-together design--the whole assembly is supported on any heavy duty tripod with a 100mm mount.
Need more height? Additional boom sections can be added later, and counterbalance is achieved using standard barbell plates (sold separately).
The rear control center allows one- or two-handed control, and may be under-slung or over-slung.
Mounts are provided for an LCD monitor as well as remote zoom/focus and pan/tilt controls.
Constructed for Portability: What sets the JonyJib2 apart is its ability to telescope and nest within itself.
It does not require the unsightly and cumbersome cantilevers & stabilization wires that other jibs require.
This crane's modularity is built on its lightweight, octagonal, aluminum extension sections, which start at the tail and progressively get smaller towards the camera.
The best part is, the arm breaks down to fit into an optional 48" tripod bag.

What is the JonyJib2 Jr 8' Jib with Rear Control Center?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr is an 8-foot jib arm designed for 16mm, SD, and HD cameras. It uses a modular, telescoping octagonal boom and supports camera payloads up to 35 lbs (15.9 kg).
Its rear control center supports one- or two-handed operation and can be configured in an over-slung or under-slung position. Mounting points are provided for an LCD monitor and remote zoom/focus and pan/tilt controls.
What is the maximum payload capacity of the JonyJib2 Jr?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr has a maximum payload capacity of 35 lbs (15.9 kg). This capacity is intended for the supported camera and head equipment mounted at the end of the jib arm.
Counterbalance is achieved using standard iron barbell weights, which are sold separately. Proper balancing should be established before operating the jib so the arm can be controlled safely and smoothly.
What is the height range of the JonyJib2 Jr 8' jib?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr has a height range of 0 to 8 feet, or approximately 0 to 2.4 meters. The modular boom design provides the working reach associated with an 8-foot jib system.
Additional boom sections can be added later when more height is needed. The manufacturer describes the boom sections as telescoping and nesting within themselves, allowing the system to be broken down for transport.
How is the JonyJib2 Jr attached to a tripod?
A: The jib uses a 100mm tripod attachment and is designed to be supported on a heavy-duty tripod with a 100mm mount. A Mitchell flange is available as an optional attachment.
The tripod connection provides the main support point for the crane system. Because the jib can carry up to 35 lbs of payload, the supporting tripod should be appropriately rated for the complete camera, head, jib, and counterbalance setup.
What camera head mounting threads are supported?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr uses a 1/4-inch-20 head attachment as standard. A 3/8-inch-16 attachment is available as an option.
This mounting arrangement allows compatible camera heads and accessories to be installed at the camera end of the jib. The correct mounting thread should be selected to match the head or camera equipment being used.
How does the rear control center work?
A: The rear control center allows the operator to control the jib with one or two hands. It can be installed in either an over-slung or under-slung configuration for different production setups.
The control center also supports mounts for an LCD monitor and remote zoom/focus and pan/tilt controls. Head arm leveling is performed through the control cable, helping the operator manage the camera position from the rear of the jib.
How portable is the JonyJib2 Jr 8' jib?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr is designed for portability because its telescoping boom sections nest within themselves. The arm breaks down to a folded length of 48 inches (122 cm).
The modular octagonal aluminum sections use a bolt-together design and can be disassembled for transport. The product page also notes that the broken-down arm can fit into an optional 48-inch tripod bag.
What is the construction of the JonyJib2 Jr?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr is constructed from powder-coated aluminum alloy. Its lightweight octagonal extension sections progressively become smaller toward the camera end of the arm.
The arm has a cobalt black powder-coated finish designed for scratch resistance, while foam padding on the underside provides bump protection. The bolt-together construction is intended to simplify setup on location.
How is the JonyJib2 Jr counterbalanced?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr uses standard iron barbell weights for counterbalancing. These weights are not included with the jib and are supplied separately by the user.
The counterbalance system is important because the camera payload creates leverage at the end of the arm. The appropriate counterweight should be installed and adjusted for the actual camera and head configuration before operation.
What are the weight and packaging dimensions of the JonyJib2 Jr?
A: The JonyJib2 Jr itself weighs 24 lbs (10.8 kg), and its listed folded length is 48 inches (122 cm). These dimensions make the modular system easier to transport than a permanently assembled long jib.
The product page lists packaging dimensions of 53 x 11 x 11 inches and a package weight of 11 lb. The page also identifies the product as a modular crane system with a single fulcrum point and 100mm mounting hub.
