About the Product
The GENUS Mini Jib is built for efficient travel use, featuring a rod that extends and locks with a simple twist mechanism. This quick setup is crucial when filming in locations across Japan. The rental package ensures you have everything needed for immediate use, including two two point five kilogram counterweights to perfectly balance your camera rig.
The included Manfrotto MVH500AH pan head attaches to the camera end of the jib, giving you independent control over pan and tilt movements of the camera, regardless of the jib’s arm movement. Please note: A separate, sturdy tripod is required to mount the jib and is not included in this rental. Ensure your tripod can safely handle the combined weight of the jib, camera, head, and counterweights.

When fully extended, the jib rod has a maximum length of one hundred eighty centimeters, and it can achieve a maximum camera height of one hundred eighty-seven centimeters, depending on the height of your supporting tripod.
What is the maximum camera weight the jib can handle?
