For the freaking rain we had and how badass your guys were for sticking it out, there's not a single thing I could complain about. They were both awesome and I really enjoyed working with them and chatting the few moments of time I could throughout the day. A+ for sure. We'll 100% be in touch with you for all future productions.

The shoot went very well. I really enjoyed running your jib. Really good gear, worked perfectly, and your crew was exceptional. The jib tech spent all day with me and was a big help. He is really a good guy and a great asset. I couldn't be happier. I found other options for almost half of the price but I'm happy I hired you guys. We don't do a whole lot of events in NYC but we will definitely do some more work in the future.

I have worked with Mike on many occasions like Super Bowl concert shows, NBA , and NHL shows. He is is great at picking up the little things that I can use in rollouts and reteases that I cut. He is also a very steady camera op and always pays attention to when he is tallied or in a record source in the truck. That makes my job easier when it comes to replays and editing. Bottom line is, I can always use what he shoots.

Mike Brown is one of the best Jib Operators I have come across. Seeing his reliability and integrity in action shows that he is dedicated to being the best for his clients. Mike stands out from other Jib Operators because of his ability to provide am azing Jib shots for a variety of different productions. From his clean, aesthetic Jimmy Jib setup, to his professional customer service. This guy means business and wouldn't let anyone down.!

Mike’s experience and creativity added tremendous value to our live MSNBC event in Las Vegas. Even in a tight space with little time, Mike was performing beautiful moves with precision and creativity. His flexibility, strong work ethic, and ability to anticipate the needs of the director makes him a desired member of any production team. Looking forward to more work with The Human Jib!

Wow...what a pleasure it was working with The Human Jib. As a producer for an independent production company it is critical for me to assemble good crews that our directors can enjoy working with. Mike was awesome to work with. Most importantly he was very talented and worked hard for every shot. After 5 minutes of working together my director pulled me aside and gave me the thumbs up.

Excellent job on the Port of Houston Bridge Repair shoot. [The client] was very happy with the footage that you captured and was impressed with the professionalism of the crew.
