Edelkrone has launched a new app-controlled jib called JibONE that can be used with the HeadONE and HeadPLUS motorized heads for capturing a variety of shots. The jib supports 50cm (19. 6in) of horizontal, vertical and diagonal motion in any direction, including looping motion.
Despite its capabilities, Edelkrone says the model is compact enough to store in a backpack.
The JibONE is made from CNC machined aluminum and stainless steel; it measures 61 x 17 x 15cm (24 x 6. 7 x 5. 9in) when folded and weighs 5. 5kg (12lbs) when used with the 1kg (2. 2lbs) counterweight. Edelkrone recommends that users keep their setup load to less than 5kg (11lbs). The company says that all DSLR models are compatible with the JibONE.

Operators have two different battery options to choose from for powering the JibONE: LP-E6 and NP-F batteries. Battery life varies based on which are used, but when the JibONE is powered with two Canon LP-E6 14. 4Wh batteries (for a total of 28. 8Wh), users can expect two hours of continuous operation at full speed or up to 12,000 still images when used in time-lapse mode.
Connectivity comes in the form of Bluetooth LE which enables users to control the jib using an iPhone running iOS 11 or newer or an Android handset running version 5. 0 or later. The mobile app offers a simplified interface for recording poses, setting up motion loops, adjusting speed and more. Users can also program camera motions with the jib by manually adjusting the device.
The JibONE is available from Edelkrone now for $1000.
