Best in Class

The BackPacker camera jib is our most popular single arm crane and meets the demands of professional videographers needing both quick setup times and professional booming, sliding, swinging and tilting motions in a confined area. More demanding users choose to use the BackPacker camera jib over any other camera crane in the market today.

Works in confined areas

Obviously the BackPacker camera jib can Boom, Swing and Tilt (and optionally pan). But it can also do it in small places. You can use one in a house to shoot a home video, or shoot a video of the home. You can set it up in a cave or a small shack and shoot nature and the outdoors. Set one up behind the bench at a high school ball game. Set one up in an operating room and shoot straight down from above. Shoot from a variety of locations for extreme sports and use the swing and tilt capability of the BackPacker camera jib to get the most dramatic extreme footage. The versatility of the BackPacker camera jib makes it a great tool for so many different types of shots.

Use a BackPacker camera jib up high in the stands to get beautiful swinging panoramic shots of high punts, kickoffs and return runs, long clutch passes and the game winning homerun. Set it up behind the bench and get the camera up and over the player’s heads and then get it down to ground level and capture the players emotion or the coach’s determination. BackPacker camera jibs can help capture the wrestler’s grit, the unbelievable shot on the billiards table, the intense focus of a figure skater, or that special smile of victory.
