Teris JQ40-III Carbon Fiber Mini Jib for Select DJI & Zhiyun Gimbals

Product Overview

The Teris JQ40-III Carbon Fiber Mini Jib is a compact, lightweight jib arm designed specifically for select DJI and Zhiyun gimbals, giving videographers and filmmakers the ability to execute crane shots, low-angle sweeps, and overhead reveals without the bulk of a traditional jib system. Built from carbon fiber for maximum stiffness and minimal weight, the JQ40-III is an ideal travel jib for documentary crews, event videographers, and solo operators working with gimbal-stabilized camera packages. Its vibration-free design preserves gimbal stabilization performance throughout the full arc of movement. Compatible with DJI Ronin and select Zhiyun models, it opens up crane-style production moves for single-operator rigs.

Product Description

The JQ40-III is engineered around the operational demands of modern gimbal-based production. Carbon fiber construction keeps the arm light enough for single-operator deployment while maintaining the rigidity necessary for controlled, repeatable arc movements. The jib mounts directly to a standard fluid head or tripod and accepts compatible DJI and Zhiyun gimbal systems at the payload end. A counterweight system at the rear allows operators to balance the arm with various gimbal and camera configurations, keeping movements smooth and reducing stress on the tripod head. The compact folded length makes the JQ40-III practical for location work where equipment must be packed into standard cases or vehicle trunks. Setup is straightforward — the arm assembles quickly without special tools, and the gimbal mounting interface is matched to supported models for a secure, rattle-free connection. The JQ40-III opens up crane-style moves that would otherwise require a second operator or a larger, heavier jib system, making it particularly valuable for run-and-gun documentary work, wedding cinematography, and commercial production on tight schedules. The carbon fiber arm damps vibration effectively, which is critical when the payload is a motorized gimbal already working to compensate for movement. Paired with a stable Teris tripod, the JQ40-III delivers controlled, professional jib moves at a fraction of the weight and cost of a full-size crane system.
