A crane shot is taken by a camera mounted on a jib or crane that moves up and down. The terms ‘jib’ and ‘cranes’ are used interchangeably. The main function of a jib is to extend your camera out over a tripod, moving the camera up, down, left, right, or in any of those combinations. Certain jibs can keep the camera level and parallel to the ground no matter how you move them.

A jib sits on a tripod and it can also pan from left to right. The fulcrum or center point of gravity on the jib allows the up and down movement. Every jib has a counter-weight system where a weight is placed on the end of the jib in order to balance its movement. This allows for smoother motion, and less manual input by the camera’s operator. Some larger cranes operate by remote control.
