GF-Multi Jib

Thirteen builds from one set of sections.

The GF-Multi Jib is a lightweight, modular jib arm for remote heads and all general camera packages. Two 150 cm sections, a 100, a 50 and a 30 make up the front arm — and the same 100, 50 and 30 serve as the rear. Which pair you pick decides the shot: thirteen documented configurations run from 2.65 m of reach carrying 60 kg to 5.35 m carrying 18 kg.

A rod rigging system braces the assembled arm so it moves like one piece, and the whole thing goes onto most standard dollies through a Euro Adapter or Mitchell fitting.

Every configuration in the factory spec sheet, drawn to scale around the pivot: the counterweight bucket out to the left, the nose out to the right. Both lengths are measured from the pivot — read across for how far the build reaches, how much room it needs behind, and what it carries out there.

Payload is the working load at that configuration. The 252 kg (556 lbs) of counterweight quoted in the spec sheet is what the heaviest builds ask for — counterweights are not part of the set.

The whole arm on one trolley

Every section has its slot in the transport trolley, the rigging harness, the pivot section and the counterweight bucket beside them — racked rather than stacked, so nothing shifts on the way to set. It rolls onto the truck as one piece, and both the trolley and its rain cover are part of the set.

Runs on

GF-Base Dolly with mounting column and telescopic push bar

GF-Base Dolly

The base every build in the spec sheet is measured on: pivot at 155 cm (5'1"), plate height up to 613 cm (20'1"). Both ends steer independently, and the wheels swap between studio floor and track.

GF-Tripod, the stainless steel stand for jibs and heavy camera rigs

GF-Tripod

The stand for the days when there is no room for a base dolly. Locking pins hold every height from 79 to 132 cm, it takes 400 kg on top, and the arm goes on through the same Euro adapter or Mitchell fitting.

Shares its parts with

GF-9, the modular crane for remote heads

GF-9

The modular crane built on the same sections, pivot and counterweight system — up to 10.1 m for remote-head work. Extensions, rigging rods and spare parts carry over between the two.
