Proaim 17' Scissor Jib Review - Rigged with a Ronin RS2 and The Proaim 360° Gold Motorized Head

Here is an actual Proaim Jib owner tell you the facts. The Proaim scissor jib is not ready for prime time in our opinion.

The newest version has a speed and damping control which is so whacked out that it will most likely hurt someone on set. Hopefully is not your $20,000 camera rig.

It is undependable, heavy and so flexible that there is really no good use for it other than being portable and giving you a high level to shoot from.

Besides the shabby construction, it just lacks any finesse. It operates like a bull in a china shop and that is not good. Although it is really cool.

There may be great uses for it, we just have not found any in the nearly 2 years that we have owned 2 of them other than doing this review.
