Camera jibs often are heavy and bulky. But this carbon fiber jib from Imorden is lightweight and super portable. This is a very affordable slider and is fully adjustable. The camera head keeps things level as you move the jib and on the top there’s an Arca Swiss tripod plate for easy attachment and removal of your camera. The package also comes with a ball head adapter that connects to the end of the jib.

The bottom of the jib has 1/4” and 3/8” holes for mounting to a tripod. Here I’m attaching a quick release plate for my Manfrotto tripod. It’s important to use a tripod that is heavy enough to support shifting of weight when using the Imorden jib. The jib can support cameras up to 8 pounds.

The jib arm can be locked in place to make set up easy. Imorden also includes a sandbag for a counterweight. I’m just using water bottles for weights because it’s cleaner than using sand. Up to 4 standard water bottles will fit inside. The end of the jib has a telescopic arm to balance the camera and weights. The Imorden Carbon Fiber Jib can be assembled and set up in about 3 minutes and can add dynamic looking shots to your productions. This jib can be extended up to 5.7 feet but they also offer a 6.5 foot version. The adjustment knobs are large and easy to twist. The carbon fiber tubes slide easily and lock into place once the desired length has been established. The angle of the camera head can also be adjusted to your shooting needs.

The sandbag hangs off the end of the jib with the included carabiners. There are two included. A cool feature is that the base of the jib has 1/4” holes on either side for accessories like an external monitor. Here I’m using a friction arm to help me attach an HDMI monitor so I can see what I’m shooting. I’m also using a mini HDMI cable wrapped around the jib arm to my monitor. The set up here is quite stable and allows me to get the type of shots I couldn’t get without the help of a jib. I’m really happy with the Imorden jib and I’m surprised how quickly I can get it set up. It’s very compact if I need to get in somewhere for a fast shot. And the whole package fits into a fairly compact bag.
