The Orion Jr DVC60 4' Compact DSLR Camera Crane/Jib from ProAm USA is a compact, travel-friendly solution that will boost the production value of your videos by letting you capture dynamic, sweeping camera motion. It supports loads up to 12 lb and extends to provide 2 to 3' of reach from its fulcrum point. While designed with DSLRs in mind, its load capacity coupled with a longer camera plate makes the jib also suitable for compact camcorders and cinema cameras. The arm features one vertical and dual horizontal counterweight bars at the rear that accept standard, readily available dumbbell weights, and has an auto-leveling design that keeps your camera horizontally level as you operate. An optional manual tilt handle is available.
