I did not realize that a jib could have the head on the end rotate. Is this only specialized jibs, or can most do it? I'm looking to achieve the effect located at around 1:40 in this video:

I plan to be filming a group of drummers in October and plan to have two "cool" shots to the mix. One, an overhead cam in the rafters above the drummer that is on a Grizzly Pro remote head that will be able to turn 360 around, and then a jib for the swooping shots. The jib is the more important cam though in case a new drummer that comes onto the scene is not lined up with the overhead camera.

Suggestions?
 
Ah ha! Thanks Erik!

I found the one here:

Wondering if anyone has used another model that I don't have to acquire through Europe. Will this work with a Kessler Crane? Or should I get something even longer than a 12 foot Kessler for a stage operation (this is now turning into a rental situation anyway, with the rental of an operator). Speaking of which, because the underslung is motorized, does it require an additional operator?
 
The only additional operator you would need is a focus puller if you are getting away from wider auto-focus work. We use the Varizoom MC100 remote head for the HVX and cameras like the XDCam 350, VariCam and CineAlta F9xx series.
