I Built My Own Edelkrone JibONE For Free!

I built my own Edelkrone JibONE for free using spare parts and pieces laying around my studio. The new JibOne looks really cool, but I definitely don't have $1,000 laying around to get just the jib, not including the motorized head and other accessories. So, instead I decided to see if I could put my own little jib together using a gimbal, tripod, monitor and some other pieces.

What do you think - Build it OR Buy it?? Is a Jib something every filmmaker really needs or is it just a total flex on your video buddies?

[digibreakthest]

I dont understand folks who get mad or write ignorant comments..he took the time to show the folks how to build a jib with a gimbal..yeah he mess up saying free so what human mistake..if you have the parts lying around go make one out n test it..if you have the 3000 grand to get all the parts from elkdrone sorry if i misspelled that..get their complete kit..because that s how much its going to cost..n if u don't have neither welp work hard n save up get the pieces needed at your own pace..keep up the great work..

You've cured my Edeldrone envy. I just watched a demo of the jibONE an hour before this vid of yours. This is an imaginative use of things at hand. I don't get enough work to justify all the expensive new toys.
In a pinch I can use my 5 foot monopod as an extension to the 3 axis gimbal. The gimbal didn't come with an extension tube. I won't clamp it in the tripod all the way to the tip because the monopod tubes are too thin to trust, but it could probably help with counterbalance out the back. Maybe 3 / 3.5 feet of gimbal extension. I'm not using a full weight DSLR anyway so weight is well under a kilogram.

I just subscribed to this channel cause this dude is a true creative artist. The details and explanation is phenomenal to this DIY technique. Definitely saved thousands of dollars for ppl like me with budget. Keep up the awesome work !!

[zackketz]

Yep, you saved me over $2K. Just need 2 clamps and I'm golden.

[kevinxherrmann]

The jib is actually for people who film them self and dont have a cameraguy but want those dynamic cameramovement... But i agree with the rest. I dont like using apps and like to make the movement on my own. In my case it makes sense to get more movement to the video instead of left to right and up and down.

For product shots it's just a nerdy expensive thing.

[meatbyproducts]

Love the hustle. But the idea of something like a jib one with the head and swivel is to be able to get the same shot over and over again. But hats off to you for a really neat idea.

[sprocketslip]

You could also put your gimbal on a mono pod and then clamp to the mono pod to the tripod. Make it even longer.

[darisovsvijet]

Best solution, easy, cheap and quick.

[Marcianody]

I just thought where do I get a thousand dollars in this weekend to buy jibone, but after I got it, you give me an idea... cancel jibone, buy two clamps, hack my light stand, done! ...and 1K dollar for hire a model and her car, do something instagramable

[Rsobregon]

Dude thank you so much for trying this out, I have everything I need to do the same thing, and I never thought of combining them... i much prefer this style then the thousand-dollar
ones.

Thanks for the great video! I actually use the Sly Pod from Moza and it can screw on to the tripod and work exactly like that! And other great features is because it mount on the middle part of it, so the weight distribution isn't a problem even if I extend the sly pod out. Oh, and the sly pod has motorize extension, so the movement is like butter smooth.

[brendan]

That's riggin' beautiful! I ordered a second clamp so I can build over weekend. Thanks!!

[stevendiffey]

Sure it isn’t a JibOne and not motorised but it’s a great standard jib solution. I do this with a monopod - not for huge reach like peeps are suggesting but to extend the back distance and place a 2.5kg (5ish pound) counterweight for balance. Works well for lots of shots. I’ve got a large jib but like so much equipment it’s not always convenient or gets left behind because of size and weight - awesome hack man. Well done.

[SteveT__]

Good timing, I just ordered a Benro 20kg weight limit monopod to make a longer version of this.

[PhillipRPeck]

That is ingenious. Cool video. You could also use a monopod (if you have one), instead of the tube extension on the gimbal, which could give you an even longer jib arm

[EpicLightMedia]

Great idea! Now I can make a jib when I need one. Thanks!

[michaelandreas]

I have planned, after the temperature outside warms up, to put a gimbal at the end of a painter's pole (using a 1/4-20 adapter I have from B&H) to do basically the same thing. Like your idea of the tripod, may add that to the mix.

[obsidianreign]

This is a genius build. The possibilities are even greater when you take advantage of FORCE MOBILE on the ronins- more dynamic moves with the help of an AC

[antonybui]

This is absolutely brilliant. I'll be trying this exact setup out on my next shoot. Thank you, sir!
