Q: 3. When mounted on a baby pin / c-stand, how does one make sure the jib does not fall over and stays in place?

A: The CAME-TV J5 Telescopic Portable Camera Jib (Deluxe) (B&H# CAJ5DELUXE) could be mounted in many different configurations. However, a C-stand is a poor choice and potentially especially dangerous as its legs generally do not have a wide enough stance for use with boomed or jibbed equipment. Having said that, if you will nevertheless be using a C-stand then you will want to put the longest leg in the direction in which there will be the most effective force pulling on one side of the C-stand. The best option, however, would be only to use a well balanced jib with a stand possessing a wider stance, such as the Matthews Hollywood Combo Double Riser Stand (Silver, 11.3') (B&H# MALSCHWD): https://bhpho.to/2osXfu7
