Cinematographer
Der Jib ist mein Kompromiss zwischen Stativ-Stabilitaet und Kran-Reichweite. Mit 2-4 Metern Ausleger erreiche ich vertikale Bewegungen ohne vollstaendiges Kran-Setup.
Camera movement using a pivot arm that enables vertical and arc-like movements, smaller than a crane but more flexible than a tripod.
