I have seen almost every youtube diy jib and I am very impressed with what you have here. I hope you get it finalized to what you want it to be. Good work.
Wow. Very impressive! I like the use of off the shelf bicycle braking materials for the pan and tilt movements. Now I have to rethink my own ideas altogether! Well done! :)
@@JonHiddenColey Thank you, for what to me is a very professional crane, that certainly surpasses some on here but if it gets the desired effect, all well and good! - I like the ally scaffolding though - must try and track some down!
@@Woodworker1947 I got my scaffolding tube from here:- www.scaffolding-direct.co.uk/alloy-scaffolding-tube-48mm-tube-clamp-key-clamp-tube-or-scaffolding-3.aspx The issue I had with scaffold tubing was how to connect them together. I ended up getting someone to machine some aluminium connectors for the tubing to slide over.
Thank you for the supplier contact details - I will get in touch with them after the Xmas thing is over . Best wishes and a Merry Christmas to you and yours! :)
This is the best diy crane/jib that I have seen around youtube. Congratulations for your excelent work and thanks for sharing this video. We're waiting for those test shots.
AMAZING!!! It is exactly what I was looking for! Even batter than the electronic ones... But, how did you make it¿? You have to make a video showing the materials an the construction process. There are so many people that is looking for ideas to improve their amateur- video developments and your jib crane is one of that ideas! I hope you'll make an other video!
I took the plunge and bought a motorised Proaim pan/tilt head for my jib. My jib isn't designed for that kind of mount so I've made an adapter out of wood. I always have to resort to DIY woodwork which doesn't look professional at all! I wish I had the ability to make acrylic parts like you can!
I really appreciate the craftsmanship you put into this project, Jon this the best I've seen online can you build another one just like that and how much would if cost?
Wow I was thinking of similar idea for the mechanism using bicycle wires as I myself thinker allot with my bikes and have spare parts. However where did you place the ends of the cables? As they need to be attached together to become a loop yet have space for them to move freely and not get stuck.
There's no need for the cables to be in a loop, you're only turning the pulley a short distance. They only need to go around half the pulley. The pulleys are in 2 halves (5mm thick acrylic joined to make a 10mm thick pulley) with a hidden channel running through them where the cables go and are clamped by pinch bolts. If you pause the video at 1:37, you can see 2 protruding screws on the pulley (above and below the handle) These are the pinch bolts which are clamping the end of the cables. So, the cable you can see at the top runs about halfway round the pulley then disappears into a channel within the pulley and through the pinch bolt. If you go to www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?310826-Another-DIY-Jib! you can see some photos of the jib in a bit more detail. You'll have to register with the website to see the pics
an incredibly well engineered quality piece of equipment. You could mount a digital DSLR on video and it would be the biz. Your kit is fantastic , don't be too hard on yourself! It's excellent
Thanks for your comment....well, I've seen your remotehead long time ago as I was hounting for inspirations. My first idea was to create a mechanical version like yours, but after a few days I decide to switch on a motoric one... But the quality of your mechanical workmanship is absolute brilliant! Looks so professional, far away from diy-stuff! Congrats... Sorry not to publish your last comment, I'm in a reorganize process for my video...the german nation of poets and philosophers need some german words...so no more english on my channel...alea iacta est...
I think going for a motorised head is a wise choice, I don't think you could ever get the same smoothness in a mechanical head. Thanks also for your kind comments.
I'm pretty impressed. You've done a much better job at fit & finish of the Pan/tilt controls than I ever had access to. I'm sure you've looked into the brushless gimbals for RC. How is the surveyors transit tripod working out so far?
Amazing I don't think we'll to be honest I ain't seen a pro jib as good as this .... All I could do is wish to have one great work great jib 10/10 puffing great
Nice work, I have built one 6 M 20 ft in 3 sections with a Hague pan and Tilt but not as well engineered as yours I love the pan and tilt but I have to ask how long does it take you to set up the rig and wont the carrying and storage of the cables be a pain in thy ass. lovely work
A very professional bit of kit. The tilt and pan system is very impressive. So what sort of stuff do you use it for? Would you think of marketing this?
hi, can I get the Adobe Illustrator design file? because i want to make this for my church and i happen to be in the multimedia department, i am very grateful if you want to help me ...
wonderful job well done I like to know if you are able to sell it, also I thing if you are able to replace the pulley on the handle for a bigger size, put some stops on between the cable, I mean is to long and the power between the inside cable and the cover makes a little harder to use, you have to use more power in your hand for the movements. let me know if you sell it.
I would definately buy a copy of the plans. I am currently building a professional looking jib myself by cnc and would interested in seeing how to incorporate my ideas into your jib. Please let us know when available
Where were you sourcing the cable from? I'm able to find the housing in bulk but not the cable. This is absolutely incredible work my man, I'm aspiring to a similar level of quality with my build and I love the mechanical system you've built. One less battery to take on the road!
Thank you, much appreciated! You can get the cable on eBay. You’ll need 1.5mm diameter. Link below:- www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Galvanised-Steel-Metal-Wire-Rope-Cable-Heavy-Duty-1-5-2-3-4-5-6-8-10mm-/252435092270
yea i like your creativity and it looks perfect. please i really really want to learn and know how to do it exactly as you did yours,am also a creative person but i don't know to go about it,the body is not really a problem but the tilt and pan plus the control is my biggest problem right now.please i will appreciate if can help me out on how to go about it. thanks
dude that shit is legit! looks like you're getting quite the demand for product here, might have to start mass producing them! good work bud, lemme know when they hit the shelves!
Hey quick question, i'm attempting to build one of these myself but can't seem to find a supplier on eBay for the brake cable that is long enough, how did you do it?
Hi how are you doing I am planning on making a camera crane similar to this and would like to know how to go about making one similar to this. I have seen the Frugal Film makers crane and would just like to add the pan and tilt to what he has done so mine will pan and tilt like your crane please contact me and let me know your opinion on how I may do so.
This is really impressive. If you also have access to coil spring to place under the dial, it will be a lot smoother. Just a suggestion. Will you be selling this online? Cheers!
I honestly couldn't say how many hours I've spent on this project. I've been working on it on and off for about 6 years so because of this, I won't be making the plans/vector freely available. I'm planning on producing a DIY manual and then I may be designing a new jib to market.
I don't know what editing programme you use, but most allow you to do a voice over providing you have some sort of mike. You can either remove or reduce to zero the original sound track and replace it with the new voice over. Hope this helps. Barry.
WOW I do a lot of video work and we are looking at getting a jib, this is some cool piece of kit, you have only done 1 video? are you selling the jib's yet as a kit? PM if you like.
Thanks for your comments! Yes, this is the only video so far. I had planned on doing another one before the end of Summer but I wanted to compliment the jib with a semi professional camera which I unfortunately don't have and I wasn't getting any help from anyone I asked. I've ended up buying a DSLR so although it won't look as good on my jib, I'm hoping to get a video done soon but I don't expect to get it done this side of Christmas. My plan is to make a DIY manual available for purchase and also work on a new jib that I could sell. I'm also contemplating selling this jib.
Peter Burton Thanks Peter! The acrylic is pretty strong. It's 10mm thick and hasn't given me any problems. I would rather it had been cut in aluminium but the CNC router I had access to isn't set up to cut aluminium. If by 'poly pipe' you mean the boom, that's made out of aluminium scaffold tubing.
Very Nice work !!! I see that you have alot of attention to detail :) I take it that you might be selling these? If so let me know how much Cheers John
You don't need a counterweight for the tilt. All you need to do is make sure the camera's CG is perfectly centered around the tilt axis, then effort will be zero. By removing the counterweight, you can decrease the jib's main weights exponentially.
Where in the UK are you based? I'm a film maker North West based, we have a 12 foot Hauge jib which only has built in Tilt, which is hugely limiting, but this one is amazing! If you are based in the North I'd love to see it/use it some time!
Fantastic job on the jib - very professionally finished. Will you be marketing this or making the design available for the DIY crowd? Looking forward to the next video. I have my CNC standing by...:-)

+niceDatCow The material I used was aluminium scaffold pole which is 49mm in diameter (48.3mm to be exact!) and is about 3mm thick, so inner diameter is approximately 46mm.
hi i am from Australia and i am planning to make a camera jib like yours but from metal and i need to put a pan/tilt head on it and i was wondering if you could make one for me and maybe we can work something out, it is for a school project. thanks
Look up my acquaintance, Richard Unger @ Henrijib, if you haven't already done so. He's on your side of the pond and builds a monster crane/jib. Servos were a concern for him also. I'm very sure he'd be willing to give you advice or direction. One thing to keep in mind is that common camera size is the DSLR size for many things these days. I can't wait to see your system in use.
Hello ! I have a question : How did you make the pivot ? How did you put the bearings to make a smooth movement ? Otherwise Great job ! it looks so pro :)
Hi there! So there are 2 bearings in the pivot, one is just a 'lazy susan' bearing but that alone wouldn't have been enough to prevent the pivot breaking under the load so there is also a thrust bearing where the bolt runs through the pivot mount. The thrust bearing needs to be there otherwise the bolt that holds the pivot to the tripod would stop the pivot rotating after securing. You can see where it secures in my other video from 0:40. Hope that helps and thanks for your comment!
Great, i've just subscribed so looking forward to your tests! If you need someone to try it out i'm sure we could sort something out haha!! You sound like you're from my neck of the woods anyway? Macclesfield...
That's way to epic for words, amazing work !!!

You don't need a counterweight for the tilt. All you need to do is make sure the camera's CG is perfectly centered around the tilt axis, then effort will be zero. By removing the counterweight, you can decrease the jib's main weights exponentially.
