WKH did this once, I'd like to see how this turns out. I need to make one this summer, yates if you come down we should deff make up some jibs and film an action/spy movie.

I haven't looked into jibs myself, but I was going to build a simple PVC track camera dolly at one point. Never got around to it though...

we should all get together at my place this summer and fuck around with building stuff.

we can each choose a bit we want personally and all work on that bit till we build one for each group.

like we can do a track dolly, a couple jibs, would be a great party.

I have a jib.

Actually its just my dick, I strap my camera on, and woo next thing you know, 40 ft long with pan and tilt controls.

No but in seriousness I have a smallish jib. But I didnt make it unfortunately so cant help you there, but your pics are looking sweet.
