⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Film Production Director
"The NSH 2022 Jib Crane has completely transformed our shoot dynamics. We’ve used it on three feature films since purchasing it in February 2025, and its 300kg load capacity handles our ARRI Alexa LF rig with lenses effortlessly. The smooth pan-and-tilt movement delivers cinematic sweeps that used to require a crane rental costing thousands. Setup takes under 12 minutes with our team, and the 10-meter reach gives us incredible coverage without moving the base. Absolutely worth the investment."

🏠 Home Studio Creator Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Emily Tran - Independent Content Creator
"I was skeptical a jib this powerful could work in my garage studio, but the NSH 2022 has exceeded expectations. Bought it in October 2024 for YouTube documentaries and short films. It supports my Sony FX6 with a matte box and follow focus no problem. The adjustable counterweights make balancing easy, even for solo operators. Only reason I didn’t give five stars is the footprint—it needs space to swing, so tight corners are tricky. But the cinematic motion it adds? Totally game-changing."

🎥 Event & Broadcast User Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carlos Mendez - Live Event Technician
"Used this jib for live concert broadcasts and corporate keynotes. Purchased in April 2025, and already logged over 40 event days. The quick setup system is legit—our crew gets it operational in under 15 minutes, even on uneven floors. The 360-degree rotation lets us capture audience reactions and stage dynamics seamlessly. Paired with a wireless follow focus, it’s become our go-to for dynamic live angles. Build quality is rock-solid; no wobble even at full extension."

🌦️ Outdoor Filming Enthusiast Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Olivia Grant - Documentary Filmmaker
"Took the NSH 2022 on a mountain shoot in March 2025—snow, wind, the works. The weather-resistant steel frame held up perfectly, though I did add extra sandbags for stability in gusts. It handled my RED KOMODO-X rig with ease, and the extended reach let us film sweeping valley shots without drones (which were restricted). Setup took longer than expected due to terrain, but once leveled, the motion was buttery smooth. Just wish the transport case was more compact—it’s heavy to hike with."

🎓 Film School Technician Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professor Alan Wu - Media Production Department
"We bought two Base Models for our film program in August 2024. Students now learn jib operation on professional-grade gear without breaking the budget. The intuitive control interface makes it accessible even for beginners, and the high-grade steel construction has survived a year of student use with zero structural issues. It’s been instrumental in teaching dynamic camera movement. The Pro Model is on our wishlist for next year’s upgrade."

Cinematography Equipment Expert Recommendation
Linda Park - Professional Camera Systems Consultant
"The NSH 2022 stands out in the mid-tier jib market with its 300kg load rating and 10-meter reach—rare at this price point. Its engineering prioritizes stability, making it ideal for productions using heavy cinema rigs. I recommend the Advanced Model for rental houses and production studios needing versatility across shoots."
