Troubleshooting
Jib is difficult to move smoothly
Ensure the camera setup is properly counterbalanced using bar weights. Check that all axis points are free of debris and that the radial ball bearings are clean. Verify that the tripod is stable and not contributing to wobble.
Camera feels unstable on the jib
Confirm the camera is securely mounted to the head, and the head is properly seated in the jib's bowl. Ensure the payload does not exceed the 14kg limit. Check that the tripod is rigid and rated for the total weight.
Counterbalancing arm is not holding position
