CAMERAS ACCEPTED:
The crane accepts all ENG video cameras and lenses, all l6mm cameras with video taps, all 35mm cameras including Arri BL, 1,2,3,or 4 and Panavision, including G2. Camera remote start stop and remote lens control are included for 16mm or video. (Our focus system will turn most 35mm lenses, but we recommend rental of our Preston FIZ system or similar.) (We cannot start stop all Aaton cameras because of differences in the wiring within the same models.)
We strongly recommend our very experienced crew people to get the most from the use of our camera arm.
Minimum recommended personnel is one person from our shop, as set up and tear down technician/safety captain/driver, who will also work your show in another capacity once the crane is placed and built.
Local delivery and setup by our technician can include instruction in crane operation.
The rig is contained in a closed locked trailer with a two inch ball. It may be towed with a midsize or larger auto, an SUV, pickup or mini-van. We allow your crew to deliver to save mileage or when our crew person is already on your show.
Our crane, with Arri 435, hangs over the canyon. The Preston lens control is at lower left.

STANTON JIB SYSTEM TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
The Stanton Triangle arm is more rigid than any previous light weight arm. It will support all cameras up to and including a Panavision G2.
The Stanton remote control head is also light weight. It is wheel controlled, or joy stick controlled.
Lense remote focus, iris, and zoom are included.
The motors are all smooth and exact Enough for most uses, 35mm film and/or longer lenses may require ruse of Preston lens controls.
The head quickly converts from overslung for maximum height to underslung for minimum distance over surfaces, or maximum negative swing.
The arm rides on a four way leveling head for quick base leveling on location. The head is also adjustible for level. The arm can be mounted with our adapters onto any standard Mitchell mount such as a fischer dolly..
Our camera crane is air shippable, in heavy duty cases.
The Crane uses standard barbell type weights which are widely available. These can be purchased inexpensively on locations to avoid paying for shipment. Waterbag weights are available for remote locations.
The jib includes the heavy duty latest series Stanton tripod, 3 wheel dolly, the off road base is relatively small stabile and quick to move.
there are three wheel brakes. and pan tilt locks.
12 volt power for the jib and monitor is included. Up to 50 foot of remote cable to the head is included.
Focus zoom can be either Studio TV Style with variable zoom rate or a second film style focus unit is included. For more challenging zoom focus or iris we offer a Preston Fix iris/focus/zoom system which is as accurate as any made.
Tilt is a special after market needle bearing for smoothest operation with heavier cameras.
Pan/Tilt motors are the 7th set of improved motors sold in North America. Very few Stanton Jimmy Jibs have these much more expensive smoother more powerful motors.
