Canon T2i + Crane/Jib Test

Ok, so I usually don't like posting these types of "Tests" because I think they're boring because...well, they're just Tests and I haven't perfected anything yet.

But I was so pleased with the results of my new Jib, I thought I'd share my footage with everyone.

Also tested my IndiFocus Mini as well.

Enjoy!

Canon T2i (1920x1080 24P)
Sigma 18-200mm 3.5-6.3

I just ordered this jib. what is a good tri pod to use and where can i get it? Is there anything else I need for using the Cannon T2i on it? Thanks for getting back with me.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I use a Fancier Heavy Duty Tripod, you can find it on Amazon. It's a great tripod for the jib and supports a lot of weight. The only other thing I'd recommend is the small washers to get your counter-balance just right. Hope this helps!

Are you panning on the car shot as well as using the crane?

[Xerxes4497]

Hi, sorry about the super late reply. Yes, this video I was panning with a tripod head as well as the jib.

does the indifocus just attach directly to a tripod? I'm confused as to how it operates.

[Xerxes4497]

The indiFocus requires a pair of 15mm rods.

What ISO and Lens are you using?

[Jon Spain]

That makes sense! I wasn't thinking. Thank you for the reply!

Well, for some of these cranes/jibs you can't really unless you got a nice focus system going on.. Other than that, most filmers can help this situation by focusing the most convenient point and have an aperture of F/11 or higher, it makes it seem everything is much focused.

[Jon Spain]

Thumbs up! Question please, When using a crane, how do you focus?

[Ben Voorhees]

Very good. I also have a jib crane. I have a Pro Am model, and I find that they work very well.
