In the broadcast
The jib is the camera directors cut to on every downbeat, reveals, rises, and pull-backs that give a live programme its rhythm.

Services — Jimmy Jib
The sweep the room remembers.
A camera crane with a remote head and a dedicated operator, rising from floor level to high wides in one continuous move. The signature shot of every broadcast-grade concert, gala, and keynote.

Why a jib
One move, three cameras' worth of coverage.
A jib goes where fixed cameras can't and drones aren't allowed: rising over the front rows, arcing across the stage, and pushing in from a wide to a close-up in a single unbroken move. With a remote head on the arm and an operator on the sticks, it delivers the production value audiences associate with television, in the room and on the stream.
In the edit
Openers, closers, and transition moves for aftermovies and brand films, the shots that make an event look bigger than the room it was in.
