The jibb is finished and I tried it out last weekend. Works pretty good and I think I can get even better results with some practice.
Some day I will probably mod the proaim head anf install frictiongears to eliminate all backlash and switch to steppermotors.
I'm very close to finish my custom made jib with a Proaim jr pan tilt head.
It's a cheap motorized head from dvcity.com and I actually didn't have much of it being useful and I planned all along to rewire the head with diy controller and stepmotors, but it actually worked better then expected out of the box.
The only drawback would be the noiselevel of the motors but for the work I plan to do with the jib they will do just fine.
