Description

This high performance compact Jibstick Jr control kit offers the simplicity and intuitive video game-type thumb control favored by some operators. It is a more streamlined version of the Jibstick Pro – there is no built-in lens control, no motion limits for pan/tilt, no motor disable, and no camera record start/stop. The Jibstick Jr has all of the electromechanical performance of the other kits, but without full motion control capability. The Jibstick Jr uses a precision thumb control joystick on a compact handgrip control box. All controls and settings are within reach of your fingertips. The new Jibstick Jr allows you to reverse direction on pan & tilt independently, adjust speed limits for pan & tilt independently, adjust joystick deadband, and set smoothing control for softer starts & stops.

With independent speed and direction controls for pan & tilt, smoothing/ramping control, and adjustable deadband for our precision thumb joystick, you’ll have exceptionally smooth and dynamic remote pan & tilt control up to 2500′. The addition of the optional advanced console enables full motion control capability, as well as the ability to control the head using cine-style hand wheels or broadcast-style pan bars. These upgraded systems offer full pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris control within the following modes: motion-linked intervalometer for time-lapse and stop motion, record and playback of 1 hour and 2000 takes, frame-accurate repeat pass, up to 2000 position marks, the ability to import and export all motion control data, and much more.

Incorporating such high-end features as precision enclosed drivetrain, exoskeletal construction and a slip-ring base, the Cinema Pro JR represents a new standard for lightweight, cost-effective pan & tilt motion control heads. The Cinema Pro JR is precision-made yet rugged and becoming the logical and affordable choice for a much broader scope of users than any head on the market. Cost effective not only for big budget motion pictures, but for worship facilities, sports, concerts, newsrooms,military,government, and other film, video, and HD applications.

Proudly Made in the USA, the CP JR is constructed from exoskeletal body sections that are CNC machined from solid billet to exacting standards, so rigidity and structural integrity are second to none. The custom slip rings and robust motor drives are designed and tested intensively to perform flawlessly under the most demanding conditions, and the electronics & software have years of field testing behind them. Add to all this the painstaking assembly and QC done in our state-of-the-art facility, and you’ve got a motion control head of the highest caliber.
