MAIN FEATURES

Features

 
 
WHAT IS A CROSSARM?
Crossarms provide an additional pan axis which allows the operator much greater freedom of camera movement. They can also be used as an adjustable, counterbalanced offset.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The main tube of the Crossarm can be shifted and rotated to accommodate a wide variety of camera mount configurations. Counterbalancing weights are held in place by a keeper on the weight shaft.

Adding a third axis allows fully articulated movement of the camera in a straight line in any direction. It also gives you the ability to move the camera around the subject. When these movements are combined with dolly moves, the possibilities are endless.

Range of Motion

THREE RANGES OF MOTION
Three Types of Movement

ARTICULATED MOVEMENT
The combined range of jib and crossarm rotation allows the camera to be positioned anywhere within the shaded area shown at left.

The animated illustrations below show how the Jib Arm and Crossarm work together to provide a greater range of control and movement in three dimensions.

Crossarms can be used directly on the Model 9 or Model 10 Dolly beam or the center mount as an adjustable, counterbalanced offset.

Do not mount any Crossarm to the beam of the Model 11 Dolly. Always use the center mount.
