Anyone on the list making $$$ with a crane/jib?
Looking to expand my local business but don't know if the investment will produce the return?

Re: Crane/Jib Work
My buddy has a small 8ft one and it gave great shots but if you want to do truly GREAT stuff get a 16ft with the motorized pan and tilt. That will give your vids that WOW factor and will open up a whole new area of creativity for you. It's spendy though.

Re: Crane/Jib Work
I've had one for several years. They take some time to get set up for use. The results are novel and like effects, should be used infrequently. Most of my clients prefer quick and dirty productions and don't want to pay for the added feature. I also have a bucket truck (cherry picker) 24 ft. working height and have used it for some novel crane shots and a way to get up above crowds at the shot site. (For outside use only)
