Redshift Motionworks supplies and services the complete Losmandy Porta-Jib® camera-support system — jib arms, Spider dollies, FlexTrak and Porta-Glide sleds — for productions, rental houses and owner-operators across Canada.
Every piece is designed to interlock — a jib rides a Spider, the Spider rides FlexTrak, the tripod bolts to the dolly. Buy what you need now, add to it later.
The original portable jib. Carries up to 100 lb of camera and fluid head, assembles in under five minutes with no tools, and accepts 100mm, 150mm or Mitchell heads — so it grows with your camera package.
A telescoping, front-operated jib that folds to 31" with no loose parts and runs on the 100mm tripod you already own. Sealed precision bearings and no cables or belts keep maintenance to a minimum.
Stretch the Standard jib with the 36" extension for big, sweeping moves, or swap in the 17" Mini Kit for tight interiors where a full-size arm won't fit.
A small weight on a second axis that shifts as you boom up or down — like an automatic tuning weight. The result: the arm holds its position and lands without the bounce common to lightweight jibs.
Turns your tripod into a portable tracking dolly. One side's wheels float in and out, so you only need to approximate a 2-foot track spacing — set-up on FlexTrak is nearly instant. Upgradable to 4-leg.
A fully rideable dolly with an adjustable column, foot platforms, push bar — and a seat that pivots 360° around the column so the operator's body follows the pan naturally.
Puts a tripod-mounted jib onto track for compound jib-and-dolly moves. Available with standard track wheels or Porta-Glide wheel clusters, and works with other tripods and jibs too.
Already own a Spider? You already own a Mini Trolley. Re-mount the wheel arms on the base plate for product and tabletop work on narrow 9–10" track spacing.
Seamless, flexible dolly track that curves in any direction — down to a 90° turn on a 2' radius — yet stays rigid enough to carry an operator. A 40' section rolls into a 2' bundle that fits in a car.
Aluminum track channels and spreaders form a frame you can level with standard dolly wedges. Channels also straighten the guide rail for dead-straight push-ins and pull-backs.
For heavy professional dollies. Each sled's 16 wheels are all different diameters, so their flat spots never land together — no rolling back and forth before every take. Floating arms track curves cleanly.
Sturdy, portable support for either jib. Rubber pivoting feet protect floors and bolt to the 3-Leg Spider. Choose a 100mm, 150mm or Mitchell top, or the direct jib adapter.
An everyday-size 100mm tripod that sets up instantly — but built far stronger than typical 100mm sticks, so it can carry a loaded jib with confidence.
Keeps an 8" (or smaller) on-camera monitor in view as you boom. It's balanced, so it holds whatever angle you set — flip it downward as the camera rises and let go. Adjustable drag included.
Level a fully loaded jib at its base instead of fighting the tripod legs — essential when rolling a jib on the 3-Leg Spider. Stays attached and still fits the jib's case.
Custom-cut road cases for every component, powder-coated Porta-Jib counterweights, front inserts and bases, plus Cartoni Lambda underslung heads for remote-style jib work.

Skateboard-style sled wheels flatten under a loaded dolly, so grips roll back and forth before every take. Porta-Glide solves it at the wheel.
