18 ft Camera Crane Jib Arm

The Proaim 18 ft Camera Crane Jib Arm is a lightweight aluminium crane designed for dynamic filmmaking. It supports cameras weighing 2.2 to 8.8 lbs with a maximum load capacity of 17.6 lbs. The system works with pan-tilt heads, 3-axis gimbals or flat-base fluid heads for versatile mounting options.

Compatibility and Balance Checks

Verify that your camera and head combination falls within the 2.2 to 8.8 lb operating range and the 17.6 lb maximum capacity. Ensure your chosen pan-tilt head, gimbal or fluid head uses a compatible flat-base mounting pattern. Confirm you have adequate counterweight discs to balance the adjustable metal wire system for smooth, jerk-free movement.

Solo Operators and Studio Teams

This jib suits solo creators and small crews needing an 18 ft reach for indoor and outdoor shoots. The dual-arm, ribbed design and ergonomic platform help a single operator achieve stable, high-angle shots. Productions requiring heavier payloads, motorised repeatable moves or a shorter, more portable crane should consider alternative support systems.

Questions about this item

Does the 18 ft crane arm ship with everything needed to balance it, or must I source counterweights separately?

The arm includes an ergonomic camera platform, a stainless steel locking pin, an LCD monitor mounting arm and high-tensile weight closers that keep the weight discs intact for perfect balance.

Should I pick the 18 ft arm for a 5 kg cinema camera or stay with a shorter model?

The arm supports cameras from 1 kg to 4 kg and has a maximum load capacity of 8 kg, so a 5 kg rig is within the 8 kg limit.

When the 18 ft arm is fully extended, how much camera weight can it actually hold steady?

The crane handles cameras weighing 1 kg to 4 kg and a total payload up to 8 kg, keeping movements fluid through its pan thrust bearing and stainless steel washer.
