GF-Mod Jib
Modular. Stable. Slick.
The GF-Mod Jib is the arm that builds to the shot: three extension modules and an 80 cm add-on connect in any order through a backlash-free dovetail system, from an 80 cm nose-only build to 480 cm of reach. Up in minutes, in open spaces and tight ones — and up to 60 kg of payload in the short builds.

GF-Mod Jib · Builds
Every documented build from the version sheet, drawn to scale: pick the reach, read the modules.
Payload: 35 kg at the full 400 cm · 20 kg in the 480 cm add-on build · up to 60 kg in shorter setups.
Connected by dovetail
The 150, 120 and 50 cm modules join through a backlash-free dovetail, so the joints have no play and the assembled arm moves like one piece. Any order works, and the same connection carries the 80 cm add-on when the shot wants 480 cm.
Overslung or underslung
The nose carries a Mitchell 3-Way head with integrated double swivel: flip the arm to work overslung or underslung and the head follows, without a bracket to add or anything to rebuild.
Balanced by crank
The telescopic counterweight arm adjusts with a few turns of a crank, so the arm stays balanced at any angle instead of being re-trimmed after every move. For short builds in tight corners, the short counterweight arm keeps the rear end compact.
