The Digital Bird DIY 3D printable Mini Jib offers smooth near silent operation combined with range of exciting new camera moves not easily achieved with the slider. The Jib connects wirelessly with all the other parts of the Digital Bird camera motion control system offering you limitless possibilities for finding the perfect shot.
Note: The Pan Tilt head and Pan heads shown in the image together with a required WIFI controller are separate kits not included with the Jib kit.This listing is for the basic Jib only.
WIFI only control
Please also note that while the DB3 head can be controlled using VISCA wired connection currently the JIB is WIFI only control. This is because there are no VISCA commands for controlling anything other than PTZ heads either in applications like OBS or in the VISCA protocol itself. Only the Digital Bird WIFI controller can control complex systems such as a PTZ head on a Jib with a Pan head. This is a limitation of VISCA

Counter weights:
Counter weights required depend on your payload but I would suggest:
- 3No. 60x10x120mm long mild steel bar stock (approx. 500g each)
- 2No. 60x20x120mm long mild steel bar stock (approx. 1kg each)
or
- 3No. 60x20x120mm long mild steel bar stock (approx. 1kg each)
Why are these parts excluded?
All the excluded mechanical components should be available to you locally. Given the current cost of shipping heavier items internationally and the increased duty you would otherwise have to pay on the kits I believe this package will make building the system more accessible particularly for international purchasers. Postal charges are also reduced.
Local Tax liabilities:
Different countries have different Import tax systems and there may be additional import duties/taxes applied to your order when entering your country. Payment of such tax is the responsibility of the purchaser and vary from country to country.
