Evin Grant has just posted a positive review on reduser.net of the “Seven Jib Compact XL” from Long Valley Equipment. Looks cool:
Only problem, he says, is pulling focus, for which Evin is waiting for the Impero wireless focus control system from ViewFactor Studios, which will be released soon.
The specs and pricing, from Evin’s post, are:
6.5′ of lift (1′-2.5′ more than all other in its class) but folds to just 33″ in length!
100mm invertible bowl for over or underslung shooting
60 lbs total capacity
Mounts on 100mm bowl or Mitchell base
55″ of reach
Built-in tilt lock
Uses standard barbell weights (not included) for counterweight
Radial needle bearing in base for super smooth swings
Quick release rod ends on parallel bar make for super fast set upI purchased the 7 Jib Compact XL with the Jib Bag, SKB Rolling case and Mitchell Knob for just under $1600.
