Tech Seriously - Those long things that raise cameras into the air....

[CurrentlySober]

Whats the tech term for them? The name I need to go and look for one?

Like 'arms' that you can control, and take your camera about 20 / 30 feet above a crowd?

Thanks...

Thanks, but no. I mean the ones that have a couple of joints in them, and stretch well above everyone... Like at events - Festivals - Stuff like that. With a decent weight at the bottom end, to avoid the over balance of a semi decent 'heavy' (ish) camera at the end

Camera Jib is the correct term if you're looking.
