Jib, Tech, and Truck in One Booking
The Jimmy Jib is the camera crane that makes a spot look bigger than its budget — a reveal over a crowd, a rise off a product, a sweep across a room that a slider can't touch. Photon's jib builds to 30, 25, 20, or 16 feet depending on your location and shot, carries camera packages up to 35 pounds on a remote head, and travels with a Photon jib tech who transports it, builds it, and operates the arm.
Booking it is simple: the jib rides out with a Photon truck, so the grip package, stands, power, and hardware that a jib day inevitably needs are already on set. Tell us the shot and the location and we'll spec the build height, the support, and the crew with you.
Working across Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic from our Richmond base. Multi-day rates available — request a quote.

HOW PRODUCTIONS USE IT
Commercials use the jib for the shot that opens the spot — the rise, the reveal, the move that sets scale. Live events and concerts run it for sweeping coverage a locked camera can't get. Corporate and brand films use a camera crane to make a conference room or a factory floor feel cinematic. And documentary crews book it for the one big establishing move that lifts an entire piece. Whatever the shot, the build height gets chosen for the location, not the other way around — tell us where you're shooting and we'll spec it.

Build Out Your Package
"We rented out the jib, and quite honestly that was the thing I was most concerned about. It went off flawlessly and the crew and operators were phenomenal. As a DP, I was able to focus on the shot, and they took care of the rest."
