Steve is a jib operator and FAA Licensed Remote Pilot with extensive experience shooting broadcast sports, live formal events, stage speaking engagements, performing arts, reality TV, and digital cinema.   

A blend of technique, creativity, and reliability allows Universal Jibs to stand out in this industry. We bring a positve "can do" attitude to the numerous challenges that accompany operating camera jibs and sUASs. Providing solutions to your visions is what this business is about!

Located in Jersey City, just outside of Manhattan, Universal Jibs has easy access to the NYC, Long Island, and Philadelphia area markets. However, any chance to travel is always welcomed and projects in cities from Boston to DC are routinely accomodated. Shipping options do exist for projects requiring travel beyond driving distances.

Our goal is to provide clients with excellent service whether it be skill, creativity, communication, or preperation. We stick with clients every step of the way to help make sure productions run like clockwork. We are available to advise on logistics, can accomdate a wide range of camera models and builds, assimilate well into much larger scale productions, and can operate in remote locations. Safety and reliability are high properities. All equipment is routinely inspected and eletronics have redundancies! When it comes to sUAS operations we have a great understanding of aerospace charts, airport layouts, communicating with the FAA for various authorizations, and adapting safety culture to meet local standards.
