Hague Introduce Camfly Go Camera Jib Kit

News Image
Compact, do-it-yourself, camera jib kit, the Hague Camfly Go Camera Crane enables you to make your own jib from a monopod, microphone boom, a pole or a telescopic column. The jib can then be used handheld or it can be mounted to a tripod with the additional tripod plate.

Described as being ideal for action cameras, as well as lightweight camcorders and compact cameras weighing less than 1kg, the kit includes all the parts needed to create professional looking jib shots and is quick, simple and easy to set up.
To use the Camfly Go, simply attach the camera plate with pulley wheel at one end of the pole and then mount the tilt handle with pulley wheel towards the other end. There is a control cable supplied which then connects round the two pulley wheels and you are set up and ready to go. The camera is attached via a standard ¼" camera screw to the camera plate and the tilt handle is then used to tilt the camera up and down.
When used handheld you would hold the pole with one hand, to control and counterbalance the jib, and would then use your other hand to control the tilt facility. The jib's tilt control enables you to smoothly tilt the camera allowing you to have the camera pointing directly up, down, or anywhere through 360 degrees which can create some very unusual shots. You can then use the cameras screen to monitor your shot.
Moving with the Camfly Go allows you to create tracking type shots which can give the camera a floating effect. You can pan the jib arm from side to side or go from a low shot to a high shot which makes it easy to see over people or fences. As a result the camera will reach places normally unattainable allowing you to go through windows, under or over tables and over water. You will be amazed at the variety of shots that can be achieved with a little bit of practice.
The Camfly Go Jib Kit is so compact you can take it anywhere with you.
Designed and Manufactured in Nottingham England by Hague Camera Supports and available now from cameragrip.com.
