Hague K1 Handy-Jib

Hague's Hand-Jib allows you to create crane and tracking shots with ease and is ideal for lightweight camcorders with flip-out screens.

Simply mount your camcorder onto the hand-jibs camera plate, which is fastened to a pulley wheel, this has a control cable running down to a second pulley which is attached to a tilt handle. This handle can then be used to tilt the camera up or down. A second handle on the telescopic pole enables you to control and counterbalance the jib.

The jib;s tilt control enables you to smoothly tilt the camcorder,. You can have the camcorder pointing directly downwards or upwards or anywhere through 360 degrees, creating some very unusual shots.

Walking with the handy-jib creates tracking shots, which gives the camera a floating effect. You can pan the jib arm from side to side or go from a low shot to a shot over 10ft high making it easy to see over people or fences. Your camera will be able to reach places usually unattainable, you can go through windows, under or over tables, even over water.

The handy-jib can also be used as a monopod, by adjusting the telescopic pole to the required height, you can then use the tilt handle to change the angle of the camera.
