Losmandy Standard Porta-Jib: A Lightweight but Versatile Camera Support System
Take your production to new heights with the Losmandy Standard Porta-Jib. This compact, lightweight boom device has a payload capacity of up to 45 kg (100lbs), as well as a rugged, round-tube arm that can reach up to 145 cm of elevation. The vector balancing mechanism and under-slung fluid head allow the camera to float seamlessly and efficiently in the air, or glide all the way to the ground in a smooth, flowing movement.
From the camera interface down to the tripod, the kit's components are fully collapsible for easy transport. Installation takes less than 5 minutes with no tools required, making this the ultimate versatile camera support system for a wide range of applications.
Production sets across the filmmaking, advertising, and entertainment industries will benefit from the increased mobility, variety of shots, and flawless stabilization this camera job provides. It can accommodate varying payloads, ranging from small to heavily- accessorized cameras. It's also the only Porta-Jib that can be transformed into a much bigger system using an Extension Kit.
The central rotation platform features a low-friction bearing system and rotation break, while the tilt platform can be swapped with an EPT unit for motor-driven control. These allow videographers to take overhead and moving shots without having to leave the ground and compromising the quality of the footage. More importantly, these features result in a greater range of motion, as well as more engaging and exciting shots.

An All-in-One Tool for Elevated Film & Video Production
The moving camera is a powerful voice in cinematic storytelling and commercial video production. The camera's movement, style, pacing, timing, and trajectory all contribute to the shot's overall mood and feel. A professional camera crane frees videographers from the limitations of handheld cameras and Steadicam mounts and allows them to maximize their creativity. The Standard Porta-Jib by Losmandy is designed to achieve high shots, as well as track horizontal, vertical, and lateral movements.
Weighing just 27 kg, the system offers a long-arm reach of 57 inches (145 cm), a boom of up to 72 inches (183 cm), and a carrying capacity of up to 45 kg of camera and fluid weight. Its versatile camera interface lets you switch between different standard remote heads, while its support interface can accommodate various standard 150mm and Mitchell tripods.
Whether you're operating this jib manually or using a remote controller, you'll achieve perfect balance and precise, ergonomic operation. Its pan-tilt motorized head, rugged rig, and adjustable counterweight mechanism promise impressive elevation and super fluid motion. The result of this is smooth and stable tracking shots, as well as fresh prespectives you can't get with just a gimbal or slider.
The lightweight quality of this camera crane also comes with an added perk. You can mount it to a dolly platform to set up intricate combo moves that you can't otherwise pull off with just a single stabilizer mount. Use this state-of-the-art jib to bring a variety of movements to your set and more evocative shots to your film or video.

Gear Up for Exciting Jib Shots Within Minutes
Losmandy's Standard Porta-Jib is an ingenious piece of cinema gear. When fully-rigged with other accessories in the brand's lineup, as well as Mitchell inserts and tripods, it can provide a far greater range of motion, and consequently, more room for creative shots. Losmandy made this jib using precision-machined parts with an interlocking design, making the gear easy to assemble (less than five minutes) and fully collapsible without requiring any tools. Despite its rigid profile, the jib is extremely lightweight and compact for its function, which enhances safety and mobility in the set, be it indoors or outdoors.
The central unit houses four locking knobs, which not only adds friction to the vertical boom movement, but also allows for quick disassembling. You may replace the boom's standard fixed or tilt platform with the included EPT unit for joystick-driven control. Using the joystick, you can make high and low-speed reversed movements and 360° unobstructed pan and tilt, which you can control using the rotation break. If you need a higher elevation, you can simply insert a riser between the tripod Losmandy mounts and the jib arm.
On the operator end of the jib arm is the vector balancing bar where you can load the appropriate counterweight and make accurate adjustments for each payload. You can use store-bought metal weights or purchase branded ones from Losmandy. But if you're buying from a sporting goods store, make sure you get the ones made for varying outdoor conditions.
For a Standard Porta-Jib in normal configuration, the suggested weights are four 10 lb weights and two 5 lb weights, or 50 lbs (23 kg) in total. Keep in mind that if you're using a Porta-Jib Extension Kit and other custom inserts, you may need to load more counterweight to balance the arm. With an Extension Kit, for instance, the ratio could significantly jump from 1:2:1 to 2:5:1 due to the increase in leverage and fluid weight.
It is this simple but innovative mechanism and balancing system that makes the Standard Porta-Jib a must-have for professional filmmakers and videographers. Equip your crew with this gear and take your panning and tilting shots to new heights.
