Description
QFYS QF-MULTI JIB – Professional Modular Camera Jib Arm
The QFYS QF-MULTI JIB is a professional, lightweight and modular camera jib arm designed for film, television, broadcast, studio and commercial production environments. It supports general professional remote camera head systems and provides a configurable working reach for a wide variety of camera movement requirements.
Its modular construction allows operators to combine different arm sections to build the jib according to the required shooting length. The QF-MULTI JIB uses two 150 cm sections primarily as front-arm extensions, while the 100 cm, 50 cm and 30 cm sections can be used as either front or rear sections, providing flexibility for different camera setups and locations.
The arm is stabilized by an easy-to-mount rod rigging system, helping create a stable and rigid structure during operation. It can be mounted on its dedicated tripod or on many standard professional camera dollies using Mitchell or Euro-adapter mounting systems, making it suitable for location, studio and dolly-based workflows. QFYS lists a maximum payload of 60 kg / 132 lb and a configurable reach of 1 m to 5 m.

Modular Extension System
One of the main advantages of the QF-MULTI JIB camera jib is its configurable arm design. The 2 × 150 cm sections are generally used as front extensions, while the 100 cm, 50 cm and 30 cm sections can function as either front or rear sections.
By combining these sections, crews can build the jib to the required operating length instead of working with a fixed-length arm. This makes the QF-MULTI JIB useful when production requirements change between studio, location and dolly-based camera setups.
Mounting & Dolly Compatibility
The QF-MULTI JIB is designed for integration with professional grip equipment. It can be used with a dedicated tripod and is designed to fit many standard professional dollies equipped with:
Mitchell Mount or Euro-Adapter Mount
This makes the jib suitable for professional camera-motion setups where crews need to move between standalone jib operation and dolly-mounted configurations.

- Feature film cinematography
- Television and broadcast production
- Commercial and advertising shoots
- Studio productions
- Music videos
