Polecam & Jimmy Jib operator John Gillan

**LATEST NEWS**

We can now mount 2 cameras on the Jimmy Jib! This offers 2 shots for the price of 1.

By mounting a super wide angle miniature HD Polecam camera above the main camera, the ability to cut between tight and wide shots from the same angle is now an option for creative directors.

Polecam Vs Jimmy Jib

Both the Polecam and Jimmy Jib offer excellent jib enhancing production value to any TV show or event. The main differences are: speed of setup and re-location, cost and health & safety requirements.

Polecam benefits:

- 5ft to 25ft reach, taking just minutes to change.

- Lightweight, easy to re-locate, offers more jib shots per day.

- Ideal for restrictive locations such as small boats, on stage, up a tree, down a cave,inside a small building or even dangling from a contruction crane basket in the Panama rain forest!

- Its slimline design means it is very descreet and safe in public areas.

- Uses lightweight 1080 line HD and DSLR cameras with prime lenses.

- Requires a single operator.

- Fits inside a regular car and is perfect for airline travel.

- 3D capable.

Perhaps the best news is that Polecam is now 3D capable. Probably the most experienced operator, John Gillan, has been shooting 3D with his Polecam rigs for many years now and admits it's the only 3D jib capable of working on 90% of his documentary and sports shoots. "I've put the 3D Polecam down 800ft caves, on a gondola in Venice, in an american trucker's cab and suspended it inside a construction crane bucket over the Panama Rain Forest! I own a Jimmy Jib too but the Polecam is a much more versatile piece of equipment."
