Just now learning about jibs (out here in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California), and this is one of the most thorough reviews of a piece of equipment I have ever seen on KZbin. Very watchable because it combines demonstration with such joie de vivre. So grateful you have left this posted - practical for people like me and a celebration of your friend Eskild. His energy is permanent.

[@bnnett]

I come back to this video from time to time. RIP Eskild

[@DLCOrganization]

Which one was Eskild?

[@IAmNumber4000]

Your guys's shots look great. You've got great taste. And a great sense of humor to boot!

[@freddyrodriguez1968]

I have to say that this video was so fun, and besides all the cool shots you guys created to showcase the jib, I really want so bad to own all that stuff: Aputure LensRegain, Metabones Speedbooster, Sigma 18-35 f/1.8, jib, wireless transmitter, etc....lots of money!

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

Freddy Rodriguez the main problem film makers face is expensive equipment

[@atraps7882]

the final footage of eskild painting is awesome

[@Gichanasa]

The Jib vs. Drone comparison is priceless. Well done!

[@rickallenphoto]

Andyax, excellent review. I like the way you broke things down into separate elements. If there's one thing you have done well on this KZbin channel, it is that you have built a community. And by incorporating your friends (Thomas, Eskild, Morten, and others) into the production, it reinforces the communal aspects of video production and creativity in general. Please let Thomas know that his music always adds a lot to the videos.

[@Andyax]

Hi Rick. I'll let them know. Thank you so much for your comment :)

[@kylefarris]

LOVE your videos. They are so professional looking, informative, and inspiring. And they also make me want to move to your country. A jib is one thing one thing I actually don't have but seeing the kind of shots you were getting reinvigorated my gear acquisition syndrome. My wife is gonna kill me. Thanks again for the hard work you put into making these videos!

[@glacio95]

>"Let's go out and shoot some videos" >Leaves the camera on the table.

[@joeysmetsers835]

Hahaha, I've seen that too

[@Andyax]

hehe ;p

[@glacio95]

Andyax Just kidding, cool stuff as always :)

[@henriklennertzen1073]

Hahaha I had the same thought😂

[@Wegwezen-d7c]

That's because it was a Canon! hehe

[@kencrisp6333]

You guys did a great job! This video was informative, entertaining and very inspirational! I watched it several times! I will be ordering the gear you used and will try to have as much fun as you guys did! Thanks so much for taking the time to create this excellent video!

[@SymonSaysTV]

Good concept, entertaining and fun to watch as usual. Good job guys. Keep it up!

[@parniyankarimi9952]

i'm no expert. i'm just a movie fan who happened to be suggested by youtube to watch this video, and i find it extremely interesting! the effort u have put is impressing and how easy yet professional all the content seems is really amazing...thanks

[@MyLifeJapanTV]

I like the comedy in your videos. Nice balance of humor and education.

[@Andyax]

Thanks for you feedback :)

[@h00b00]

The final test shot with the jib, motion controller, wireless hdmi and the lensregain was great but is also a very expensive setup. I'm wondering if the same can be achieved with: * Normal tripod + fluid head * A monopod fixed horizontally to the fluid head using the Manfrotto Super Clamp * Sandbag/waterbag * Zhiyun Crane, which is a 3-axis handheld gimbal with remote pan/tilt support, attached to the monopod * and, the Sony a6300 The gimbal can mimicking the jib+motion controller in its lock orientation mode, introducing additional movement using the bluetooth app. The lightweight and superior af/face tracking of a6300 along with app based wireless focus control can counter the Lensregain+array trans. Or just use a drone ;)

[@santiagotrugeda7512]

Your reviews are always so GOOD! You (and Philip Bloom) inspired me to buy the GH4 and I have nothing but great things to say about it. I will definitely be saving up for this valuable piece of equipment. Thanks for the awesome review and keep making awesome films!

[@CinecomCrew]

Great video! I'm always inspired with the way you present film gear. Thanks for the mention as well :-)

[@Andyax]

I appreciate it, and thanks for your videos as well :)

[@siuliang6925]

I fall in love with yr video and you. cause you are so different than other youtuber that not willing to teaching. you really show people show to do it in every step.

[@Andyax]

Thanks for your lovely comments!

[@antdx316]

They no longer sell this jib, what other jib do you recommend?

[@Andyax]

This is the crane I'm using in this video: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1258478-REG/ifootage_m1iii_m1_iii_mini_crane.html/BI/20363/KBID/15164/kw/IFM1III/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xIFM1III Here is the crane with the Wild Bull T5 tripod (a bit cheaper setup): www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1281635-REG/ifootage_mini_crane_m1_iii_with.html/BI/20363/KBID/15164/kw/IFM1IIIT5K/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xIFM1IIIT5K Here is the crane with the tripod I'm using: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1281634-REG/ifootage_mini_crane_m1_iii_with.html/BI/20363/KBID/15164/kw/IFM1IIIT7K/DFF/d10-v2-t1-xIFM1IIIT7K

[@nitopontocom]

very expansive. I got another one. Cheap.....with a very low price, but .....awsome performance and very good structure

[@christiensebastien2442]

lol anyone who links B&H says "I don't know what a fair price for camera equipment looks like." They are the most overpriced company on the market.

[@akshayindahouse]

can an fs7 be mounted on this

[@davidilie1169]

Hey Anders! Could you make a video about tripods, and what to consider when buying one? Or which on to get

[@nwmstudios]

It is actually pretty affordable considering the cool shots that you can get. Great video again guys, and thanks for making me want to buy something again!

[@StephansBilderwelt]

Very good. You guys took a lot of effort into this. I hope to see more of this.

[@Andyax]

Thanks :)

[@danielmuchi8196]

nice, it was much fun watching you guys enjoying while teaching.much love from kenya Africa learnt something new

[@allenmoore9848]

Just bought a jib. Thanks for the video as it has given me some ideas. I particularly like the drone shot! cheers Allen

[@PolluxChung]

The tilt adjustment is one nice feature.

[@jankmedia1985]

Ordered one of these the other day, got a great deal on it. Didn't even know they made manual jibs, lol. Excited to see what shots I can get with it.

[@chinyimbamulenga3108]

suprised to hear that song at 8:53 playing in the background. Its popular in west Africa.

[@noobsyb0t]

Selling My ProAm DVC210 8' Crane & Getting This One!, You've Made The Best Video Ever Of This Crane. I Was Unsure Because Of The Price, But This Video Helped Me See The Full Quality/Benefits Of It! Thanks!

[@345firee]

This was awesome as hell. Wish I had the money for all that equipment! Just got my first camera so... on my way!

[@mdaveyphoto]

Have fun good luck! I'm saving for it as well. Thankfully it's pretty affordable unlike most stuff.

[@tenpuzzles]

What camera did you get ?

[@TaylorMoore4K]

Fantastic video mate. Really a phenomenal set of examples around how a jib can be used.

[@ruthlessrog1]

This was really great to see the different variations w/ included results. Solid coverage of the product 🔥💚

[@LifewithD]

i love your videos. they are so informative and useful. thank you

[@LoneLionLeo]

I missed your videos so much! I learn so much from you guys!

[@xhyvonne]

Seven years later, and I’m back here contemplating getting this. Think I need to just get it!

[@IkarusFlight]

What is an LSD-Screen? (4:30) I want one!

[@Andyax]

Yeah, it's great :D haha

[@mrwhitemantv]

It's pretty small, about the size of a postmark

[@GameZone-eq7wt]

LCD

[@PossMcLeod]

haha yeah, I was gonna say I expected the shots to be more shaky and a lot more colorful on LSD! haha #lovethesixties #woodstock

[@Albanez39]

@@mrwhitemantv Smaller actually, and only holds about 150-200micrograms of memory...but it has some really neat visual effects, all in-built with no need for post production.

[@steveh1052]

I absolutely like everything about this video! Great footage, amazingely excecuted and absolutely amazing actors... Very well done!

[@akatsukimustang]

Can't get enough of your videos man!

[@flatbill2]

Okay, I want one now! Beautiful movement with that shot!

[@filmsbymatt1894]

Making the actor move the jib is absolutly brilliant! :O

[@BinaryXioms]

I love the subtle sense of humour!

[@DanKingImages]

Like you reviews! Short movies! Very well done! I've got a jib that's been sitting around. Forgot how well it can be used for a little effort!

[@Dez_Blanchfield]

wow.. this was just a fantastic video to watch, and probably one of the most inspiring reviews i have ever seen.. thankyou to the whole team :-)

[@AdityaVarma]

Andyax. You are amazing. Thanks a ton for all these videos. SOmuch we get to learn. Please share your gh4 settings and picture profiles with us.

[@cdmikelis]

I own Sigma 18-35mm Art - it is fantastic lens endeed :) great jib demonstration. My favorite 1st try (all sharp) of painting house, than grunge "circling around"... fantastic. Thanks.

[@rudelook7303]

You’ve definitively got me subscribed, never have seen a funny and also so interesting tutorial like this! 🙏🏼

[@redplanetdunes]

5:37 Talk spanish: "Tienes que hablar más despacio, por favor" "You must to talk more slowly, please" hahha

[@readul87]

your presentation is too good. not boring but extremely interesting!

[@TheAymoneShow]

Andy thank you so much for making these videos.

[@anselmoreal]

Your videos are the best!!!

[@MrKentheken]

Another Fantastic gear review! Your helping navigate through the first years of film making:)

[@TonyJeeves]

Great info, thank you. Using a jib really enhances videos. You've convinced me to look at buying one.

[@CITCProductions]

Could you please do a review on the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 25mm f/0.95 Lens? It works with the GH4, and since you do such great reviews and test films, I wanted to see what you thought of it....

[@spo5egy]

Wow that makes such a massive difference! I would love one!

[@toftlife6839]

2:26 "lets go out and shoot" forgets his camera

[@mrwhitemantv]

LOL

[@MickFriis]

Hahahaha :D

[@tarnafiti8212]

i saw that to

[@Von_McKnelly]

Bravo! Give that actor an Oscar...well done indeed.

[@m.y.7230]

hey andyax. that's great video. just come to mind that can we give same (or even similar) effect on steadicam or gimbal, like this crane? i supposed you made a review one of them in the past weeks, but I couldn't come across it again

[@CAI7]

Dude, you just got yourself a new subscriber! much love from the Philippines

[@RedTuskProductions]

I ended up not buying one but making one instead, took a few different materials to get it right and not flex with weight, it really does add a lot to the production though. Same as a slider, both just enhance the feel of the footage.

[@loheirlyjean4568]

Do you mind sharing how?

[@danyalvisuals]

LOVEL VIDEO ANDYAX LOVING THAT JIB AND THE TRIPOD

[@4partmedia]

Aye man, I love the hilarious non-nonsensical scenes being shot.. lol looks great brothas.

[@projectfilms-pg4hn]

Great and detailed review! Didn't know there are such cheap camera cranes.

[@kellygunner1]

I need this for my cooking segments

[@mdaveyphoto]

It's not too expensive either. Let me know if you want to hire a video guy :D

[@ratt57]

Thank you for an excellent video!! I really enjoyed watching this and learning about the crane!!

[@MisterAelo]

seriously love this channel so helpful yet simple! love it!

[@dwitanayawayan7165]

you, yes you have a brilliant way to explain things. Good Works!

[@SteveT__001]

I am still contemplating a crane, this looks very nice, whilst using a drone is possible it is just not a practical solution in so many situations, in fact all of your chosen locations for this video would be either impractical (Indoors) or in many countries illegal (near people or property) okay this was filmed in 2016 so the laws have changed since then. I can't decide between this or a Hague Jib which has the manual tilt control.

[@PrettyLady7282]

great friends. cool group. will make your production on field in filmmaking lots easier. nice review!!

[@robertfeliciano5723]

Looks like a great product at a decent price. I'm bummed I bought in the Konova system.

[@ziaroo9261]

The final result is really cool :) It requires a lot of experience with this stuff. Unfortunately this equipment is too expensive :(

[@pareshkumarkasabia2046]

Thank you very much for your guidance I have learned a lot watching your videos.i am impressed and want you to be my inspiration in making short films

[@davidmohl9093]

I'm really curious about your grading technique. You somehow make everything look epic

[@gracieashlynn5717]

Andy, Thank you so very much, that was a very informative and very well done : ) Faith And Grace (Toronto)

[@VideosofIrishFarmingLife]

Very good work lads, Greetings from Ireland

[@StudioBonn]

So funny / informative / well done / nice to see more than just one time / clear to understand...well - brilliant! Thanks a lot for that awesome video! And yes, it's great to make movies with friends 👍

[@spengler_tv]

Nice ! Really great pics. It makes a hugh difference to film with a crane. Its a great option to a drone to film closer to the object. Thankx for this video ;)

[@MarvinNeumannOfficial]

Great great video! Thank you so much for making it :)

[@josephcedillo3017]

awesome amazing great video as always!!! enjoy your vids so much!! always so inspiring to a beginning filmmaker as myself!! thank you!!!

[@MagnumVideos]

Looks like a great value at the price. Very nice video.

[@ForwardGuidance]

I like that it isn't motorized. Nice product and since it isn't motorized, the price isn't too bad.

[@jonnham]

The guy at 0:35, did he have a role in the UK series Misfits back in the day??? He looks so familar.

[@jmmarcelino6466]

Thank you for your passion Sir. Oh.. speechless! God Bless

[@kochumvk]

Eskil is the kind of friend every one should have!

[@trevorpinnocky]

seems like an affordable way to get some different looks and camera movement into shots.

[@broshay7]

Always fun to watch this channel!

[@touchthestarrysky]

Andyax, you are my savior!

[@NicolasWaldvogel]

That was an awesome video! definately considering now if i should buy it:) cheers from Switzerland

[@JustinBradferd]

Hey 2:28 you forgot your camera bro...

[@JerryRevolution]

Another masterpiece. I am going to get this but I'm saving up for some lenses and software first.

[@MichaelTitera]

Thanks, Anyax. I now need to be buy that jib! :)

[@TinySpace2024]

I love you guys!!! This is too funny and informative!

[@tommasosetaro]

As italian actor I looove your italian(?) scenes. Great videos guys

[@mrwhitemantv]

I think they were mocking Fellini

[@sahelhabashieh]

That is really amazing. Makes me just wanna buy all these stuff and not sure if I will ever use them. I will visit you one day in Norway.:)

[@twin2turbos]

Amazing video, excellent review. Well done sir, I enjoyed every moment of it, I just felt happy watching this video uhh what a beauty.

[@maxhoughtonmusic]

absolutely love your videos Anders!

[@michaelsvlog]

Could you do a video on nx300 to see how good of a film look you can get with it and also use a steadycam with it. Basically want to see how could a consumer level performs.

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

Lol at 15:40. Dude that's some really cool gear. To bad it takes so many people to operate. I think that makes it somewhat impractical for someone like me.

[@nasnb3363]

Love your videos!! you learn while you enjoy! thanks :)

[@whywhy542]

Yes Sir you got me to learn a lot...and I m start film making work... I love it ... And you sooo just please upload other videos on KZbin...😉😉😊😊👍👍👍👌👌👏👏

[@stephydae]

Love it! I truly enjoy watching this. Very funny as well ^_^ Keep it up!

Consider the filmcity 4 to 8 foot rub a good alternative for the dam price!
