Ken Hill of K-Hill, Inc. developed and patented the Z-Jib. The first rental in April 1991 was a
National TV Spot.
That successful two-day shoot was just the beginning. Because of
the diversity, and zero gravity ease of operation,
the Z-Jib was the preferred jib arm in making
hundreds of movies, videos and thousands of commercials.
(formerly known as the Zero Gravity
Boom Arm) it was quickly dubbed "The
Z-JIB" by the film industry. The first Z-Jib (serial #1) was placed into rental service at Mobile Production Services in
Dallas, Texas May 1991.
In 1997 "old #1" was refurbished and sent to
Innovision Optics
in Santa Monica, Ca. to increase their Z-Jib inventory,
enabling them to take care of their increasing Z-Jib rentals. There it remains in service today.
We celebrate our 15th successful year with Z-Jibs located strategically around the world
because you the customer
have made it the ultimate jib arm for the ultimate shooter.
Each
of
these
positions
and
more
are
achieved
with
smooth
fluid-like movement while
rotating
360
degrees
around
a
dolly.
