A monopod jib for cameras, comprising:
- a pole;
- a multi-axis gimbal disposed at one end of the pole;
- and
- a user interface comprising:
- a first user interface element having a first plurality of camera controls;
- and
- a second user interface element having a second plurality of camera controls.
The monopod jib for cameras of claim 11, wherein the second plurality of camera controls comprise at least two buttons, wherein the at least two buttons are positioned on lateral sides of an upper side of the second user interface.
A system, comprising:
- a monopod jib for cameras, comprising:
- a pole;
- a multi-axis gimbal disposed at one end of the pole;
- a battery box disposed at the opposite end of the pole;
- and
- a user interface comprising:
- a first user interface element having a first plurality of camera controls;
- and
- a second user interface element having a second plurality of camera controls.
A method, comprising:
- grasping a monopod jib with a first hand and a second hand;
- providing inputs to a first user interface element of the monopod jib disposed on the monopod jib and located proximate to the first hand;
- and
- providing inputs to a second user interface element of the monopod jib disposed on the monopod jib and located proximate to the second hand;
- whereby inputs from the first user interface element and the second user interface element collectively control both camera position and image quality of a camera mounted to an end of the monopod jib.
