Description
QFYS QF-7800 JIB / QF-JIB – Heavy-Duty Professional Camera Jib
The QFYS QF-7800 JIB (QF-JIB) is a professional heavy-duty camera jib designed for cinema, television, broadcast, commercial production and studio environments where stability and support for larger camera packages are essential. QFYS lists the product in its JIB ARMS range as the QF-JIB.
Designed to support camera packages of up to 60 kg / 132 lb in the retracted configuration, the QF-7800 provides a solid platform for professional camera movement. Its manually adjustable jib arm allows operators to change the working reach from 133 cm retracted to 188 cm extended, while the rear section extends from 48 cm to 103 cm.
The jib offers a maximum lift range of 227 cm / 7’5″ when extended, providing flexibility for high-angle, low-angle and sweeping cinematic shots. A 43° tilt angle further expands shot possibilities on film sets, television studios and commercial productions.
One of the key advantages of the QF-JIB is its telescopic counterweight arm. The counterweight section can be adjusted using the integrated crank system, allowing the operator to fine-tune the balance according to the camera configuration and jib length. The system supports up to 120 kg / 264 lb of counterweight, specified as 10 × 12 kg weights.
For professional camera support integration, the jib uses a Euro adapter mount, with a Mitchell mounting option available. At the camera end, the system supports a Euro adapter to bowl or Mitchell, making it suitable for a variety of professional cinema and broadcast camera-head configurations.
The QF-JIB itself weighs 42 kg / 92 lb and is designed as a robust production tool for demanding shooting environments.

Adjustable Camera & Rig Configuration
The camera can be installed in different operating positions, while Combi-rig extension tubes provide additional setup possibilities. This makes the QF-JIB adaptable to different camera packages, shooting heights and production requirements.
Its manual length-adjustment mechanism allows the operator to quickly configure the jib to the required working length without requiring a completely different arm configuration.
Telescopic Counterweight System
The rear counterweight arm is telescopic and designed for fast balancing. A few turns of the integrated crank allow the counterweight position to be adjusted according to the camera payload and arm extension, helping achieve proper balance throughout different jib configurations.
With a maximum counterweight capacity of 120 kg / 264 lb, the system is designed to accommodate heavier professional camera setups.
Applications
The QFYS QF-7800 JIB in India is suitable for professional productions including feature films, television productions, broadcast studios, OTT productions, commercials, music videos, corporate films, live events and rental-house camera support inventories.
Its combination of a 60 kg maximum camera payload, adjustable reach, Euro/Mitchell compatibility and heavy-duty counterweight system makes it particularly relevant for productions using larger cinema cameras, professional lenses, matte boxes, wireless systems and other production accessories.
