Description
QFYS QF-7600 Baby Jib – Compact Professional Camera Jib
The QFYS QF-7600 Baby Jib is a compact, professional camera jib designed for film production, television studios, commercial shoots, broadcast setups and confined shooting locations. The official QFYS product page identifies it as the QF-BABY JIB, Commodity ID 7600, within the company’s jib-arm range.
With a compact 45 cm reach and a maximum payload of 30 kg, the QF-7600 Baby Jib provides smooth, stable camera movement while taking up very little working space. Its size makes it particularly suitable for operating from camera dollies, studio floors and locations where a full-size jib or crane cannot be used.
The Baby Jib features an adjustable rear counterweight arm, multiple camera mounting possibilities and adjustable tilt drag, allowing operators to balance different professional cinema and broadcast camera configurations. A Euro adapter jib mount is standard, with a Mitchell mounting option available, while the camera-head interface can be configured for Euro-to-bowl or Mitchell mounting.
Its compact construction, 16 kg jib weight, high 30 kg payload capacity, and adjustable balancing system make the QFYS Baby Jib suitable for professional cinematographers, rental companies, production houses and broadcast studios requiring controlled pan, tilt, rise and fall camera movements in restricted spaces.

Adjustable Counterweight System
The rear counterweight section can be adjusted to help balance different camera packages. According to the supplied QFYS product material, the counterweight-end arm can be adjusted from approximately 23 cm / 1 ft to 58 cm / 2 ft, providing flexible balancing at different operating angles.
The jib supports up to 48 kg / 105 lbs of counterweight, configured as four 12 kg weights.
Camera Mounting Flexibility
The QF-7600 Baby Jib supports different professional camera mounting positions, giving cinematographers greater flexibility when adapting the jib to different camera bodies, lenses, fluid heads and shooting requirements.
For professional grip integration, the jib uses a Euro adapter, while a Mitchell option is available. The camera-head mounting interface can also be configured using a Euro adapter to bowl or Mitchell connection.
Smooth Pan and Tilt Operation
The Baby Jib is designed to provide additional pan and tilt adjustment while maintaining controlled, stable camera movement. The 53° tilt angle and 51 cm lift range allow operators to create subtle rising, lowering and sweeping movements without requiring a large crane footprint.
The tilt drag can also be adjusted according to the operator’s preferred resistance and shooting style.
Designed for Confined Production Spaces
Because of its compact dimensions, the QFYS Baby Jib is especially useful where conventional camera cranes are impractical. Typical applications include:
- Film and television production
- Broadcast studios
- Commercial and advertising shoots
- Camera dolly setups
- Indoor studio production
- Interviews and talk shows
- Music videos
- Product filming
- Small sets and confined locations
- Professional rental and production facilities
Optional Flight Case
A custom-designed flight case is available for the QF-Baby Jib, providing additional protection during professional transport, rental operations and location production.
