Shoot to thrill with the newest twist on camera jib production.
Think of jib shots that last forever, 360, 720 or even 1080 degree moves,  with completely new and unique POV's. Imagine, no blocked site lines and no impact on the live audience,
combined with taking the camera to places that the viewer has never been before.
The system is fully remote controlled allowing the camera to cover a
46 foot diameter circle and travel from floor level up to the lighting grid with
smooth camera moves that can be at any speed.
All movements are managed by our microprocessor control system that
ensures that user inputs are delivered with fluid stability.
 It's unique design and Carbon Fiber construction have virtually no impact on lighting.


Originally designed for sports production coverage of  Boxing  and Mixed Martial Arts,  the system has been successfully used with other areas of production. Live Music concert production moves are truly breathtaking  . Our recently developed floor stand system allows still more applications that give you all the standard jib moves and more.   No longer are you limited as to where to put your jib. You can put the 360 Overhead jib virtually anywhere.  Options include floor standing, tuss mounted, vertical truss mounted, red steel.....anywhere!

Background:
Director Craige Bandy designed the concept. Upon completion of the prototype, the potential became clear.  Teaming up with aviation specialist Ed Bandy, who brought extensive knowledge from the flight simulation industry,  the project became an extremely high tech production tool. Sub contractors from the aviation industry handled the fabrication process.  System controls include a microprocessor, linked with a PC featuring GUI control software.   The 360 Overhead Jib has presented unique POV's that have now been integrated into network level production by the highly talented Director Craig Janoff.  Janoff's production credits most notably include 13 years directing Monday Night Football, NFL Super Bowl, and numerous world level broadcast events. He has taken the 360 Overhead Jib to still higher levels of production quality and continues to support and assist in developing  the jib into a tool that adds excitement to any production.
