3D model description

Video Link : https://youtu.be/A9Z6XS3IQbg

The Micro Jib is the world's smallest camera crane that serves as a tabletop "universal" tripod solution for content creators, streamers, or even professionals as it is capable of mounting a wide range of accessories such as smartphones, DSLR and compact mirrorless systems, microphones, Light panels, or even a tablet as long payload is kept below 2kg

Important Note

This model is not a 100% fully printable assembly. Rods, fasteners, pins, and bearings must be purchased separately to fasten parts together. List of non-printed hardware along with purchase links ca be found in the detailed assembly guide:

This Jib is heavily inspired by Ivan Mirada's build of his gigantic crane (check out his youtube channel for more details). However, being a novice content creator, I found it extremely time-consuming to constantly adjust the tripod's height, angle, and position to get shots from various angles. While there are some commercially available solutions out there, they are way too bulky for my tiny space, and hence I've decided to design my own!
