A new, improved telescopic jib arm that offers much better handling, so you can capture better and more creative shots. With this arm you can shoot over people's heads and, combined with a controllable motorised head, create truly dynamic compositions. The whole arm fits into a single bag, it is light and portable, and thanks to its refined design you can set it up or take it apart very quickly.

Thanks to its telescopic design, you can adapt the camera arm to the required shot very quickly. By loosening a few screws you can slide the arm forward or backward and achieve perfect balance even in locations where there is not enough room for the operator. This design gives the arm the versatility needed for almost any shot, indoors and outdoors. The whole arm can easily be placed on fixed legs (e.g. T102RB), a wheeled dolly (e.g. DL-8RB) or a track dolly (e.g. TR-320), which makes it even more versatile.

The arm uses 1/4" and 3/8" threads, so you can very easily attach any other accessories to it (auxiliary adjustable arms, preview monitors, external recorders,...). The universal end of the arm is designed so that you can very easily attach weights or control handles to it.

At the opposite end of the arm there is a 75 mm/100 mm bowl that accepts a wide range of video heads as well as the motorised, remote-controlled Libec REMO30 head. The tilt of the whole end section is adjustable (a bubble level for levelling is included) and a screw lets you set how smoothly the whole arm moves. A sand counterweight for fine balancing of the arm is also included.
