The VariZoom QuickJib is a professional camera crane that balances performance, reliability, and affordability. Designed for filmmakers, broadcasters, and event videographers, it provides smooth pan and tilt motion, quick setup, and long-term durability.
Constructed from powder-coated and anodized industrial-grade materials with stainless steel hardware, the QuickJib is built to last for years in the field. Its modular design allows assembly in two lengths with the optional extension kit, providing a reach from 5 ft (standard) to 9.5 ft, and max camera height from 9.5 ft to 13 ft with optional extension.
The jib includes:
Tool-free assembly with captive clamps and ergonomic high-torque hand knobs
Stainless quick-release pins attached by lanyard for secure and easy pivot connections
Telescoping counterweight section with up to 3 ft of adjustment for flexible balance
Brake system with variable drag, designed to safely absorb extreme force
Silent tilt platform with sealed radial ball bearings and built-in spirit level
The QuickJib mounts on any 100mm tripod (non-telescoping recommended for safety), and the camera platform supports various heads with standard 100mm bowl, with optional adapters for 75mm, Mitchell, or flat plates.
For ultimate versatility, the QuickJib can be paired with the DCR100 dolly and TCR100 crane tripod (both optional) for mobile crane setups.
Each jib ships with a lightweight, padded soft case for easy transport and storage.
