This very questionable picture from the internet illustrates the crane
or jib I just bought (without tripod) to use mainly with my silver softlight
reflector with or without grid!
Anyone working with that tool knows how critical the positioning is in
regard of given techniques. The model moves just a bit and he or she
is out of the effect zone. My sons use to control that reflector in order
not to kill the rhythm of the shooting in progress but I have to change
my strategy since for the last shoots none of the two was available.
This is a video crane/jib that I had the idea to adapt to use this new way.
This must be the best idea I had in 2016 so far. Conrad Electronics has
it in its online catalogue for 849 € but I got it from Rollei in Hamburg for
300 € shipped!!!
This is not meant for heavy equipment but my Profoto D1, B1 or B2
with the attached reflector are just fine as long as the jib is not fully ex-
tended (2 meters)
