Cartoni Jibo Fluid Action is a portable three-section camera jib with a 20 kg (44 lb) payload and fluid damping on pan and tilt. The damping unit adds gentle drag that makes the move more precise, and a lever switches it off. The jib weighs 15 kg (33 lb), folds down to 1.2 m (47″) and sets up in under three minutes. It sits on a 100 mm bowl tripod, sold separately.
Jibo adds diagonal tracking and elevation from ground level up to 2 m (78″) to the pan and tilt of the head. The telescopic front arm sets the reach between 122 and 172 cm, and the extendable rear arm with counterweights balances the camera precisely.

The camera travels in an arc from floor level up to 2 m, adding diagonal tracking and elevation to the pan and tilt of the head.
The damping unit adds gentle drag to pan and tilt; a lever switches it off.
The three sections fit together easily and the jib is ready to work.
The fluid head can be mounted on top of the arm, underslung or sideways.
The extendable rear arm takes up to 25 kg of rubberised weight plates.

In the Fluid Action configuration the damping unit sits in the centre of the jib and a lever turns it on or off.

The head mount can be turned underslung; camera and zoom controls clamp onto the optional T-bar.

Jibo sits on any tripod with a 100 mm bowl; the reach ranges from 122 to 172 cm.
The standard configuration includes a 100 mm bowl head mount that turns left or right and sits on top of or under the arm, plus two spirit levels. For remote control of camera and zoom there is a T-bar to clamp the controls on; for heavier set-ups Cartoni offers a Mitchell flat base adapter and an adapter for 150 mm bowl tripods. Tripod, spreader and fluid head are sold separately.
