Jib

Jib
VP
A mechanical arm which balances a camera on one end and a counterweight (with camera controls) on the other.
————————
FilmM
*also see crane. A mechanical arm balanced with a camcorder on one hand and a counterweight and camcorder controls on the other end. Often mounted on tripod legs. Though similar to a crane it works more like a seesaw, but the balance point is closer to the end with the controls so that the camera is at its longest point of the arm to make sweeping vertical or horizontal moves.
