Description
QFYS QF-MINI JIB – Professional Compact Camera Jib Arm
The QFYS QF-MINI JIB is a lightweight, stable and compact professional camera jib designed for smooth cinematic camera movement in studios, film sets, commercials, television productions and confined shooting locations. QFYS lists the QF-MINI JIB in its professional JIB ARMS range.
With a maximum camera payload of 30 kg / 66 lb, the QF-MINI JIB can support professional cinema camera packages while maintaining smooth, vibration-free movement. Its compact design makes it especially useful where a full-size camera crane would be difficult to operate.
The jib provides an 82 cm / 2’10” reach, a 120 cm / 3’11” lift range, and a 53° tilt angle, giving camera crews flexibility for controlled rising, lowering and sweeping shots. The rear counterweight arm can extend up to 100 cm / 3’3″, allowing the system to be balanced according to the camera configuration.
With a 17 kg / 37 lb jib weight, Euro-style mounting architecture, Mitchell compatibility and support for up to 48 kg / 105 lb of counterweight, the QF-MINI JIB is suited to professional cinema, broadcast, television, advertising and production environments.
Its compact construction also makes it practical for transportation and location work, with the complete Mini Jib designed to fit into a single flight case.

Product Highlights
30 kg Professional Camera Payload

Compact 82 cm Reach
Its 82 cm / 2’10” reach delivers controlled jib movement without requiring the operating space of a large crane. This makes it useful for studios, interiors, sets and locations with restricted space.
120 cm Lift Range
A 120 cm / 3’11” lift range allows the camera to transition smoothly between lower and higher shooting positions for establishing shots, product shots, reveals and cinematic movement.
Adjustable Counterweight Arm
The rear section extends from 31 cm to 100 cm, allowing the operator to adjust the balance for different camera configurations and counterweight requirements.
Professional Mounting Options
The jib uses a Euro Adapter mounting interface, with Mitchell compatibility available. The camera-head side supports a Euro Adapter to Bowl or Mitchell, providing integration with professional grip and camera-support systems.
Portable Production Design
At approximately 17 kg / 37 lb, the jib combines professional payload capability with a relatively compact form factor and can be packed into a single flight case for production transport.
Recommended Applications
The QFYS QF-MINI JIB is suitable for feature films, television production, OTT productions, commercials, music videos, studio shoots, live events, corporate filmmaking, product cinematography and professional video production. Its compact dimensions make it particularly useful for interior sets and restricted shooting environments.
