 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.
When using the Weaver Steadman with our adapter, lens height will be approximately 22 inches
 lower than spool when set up
under-slung and approximately16 inches when set up top  mounted.
