About Us Although established in 1860 it was in 1994 that Hague first started manufacturing camera grip equipment. Product designer Robert Scotton had been a keen amateur moviemaker for quite a few years and wanted to get some smooth camera movement into his movies, just like the professionals do. He looked into purchasing a Jib and Tracking Dolly, but could not believe the price some manufacturers were charging for this type of equipment and soon decided we could produce similar products at a much lower cost. Our first Jib was designed for lightweight camcorders to support a maximum weight of 6kg. Originally our products were aimed at the enthusiastic amateur moviemaker since Robert, as a member of his local video club and of the IAC ( www.theiac.org.uk ), thought this would be an ideal market. Following a review of the Jib in Camcorder User, August 1994, in which it received 95% Gold award, we found the majority of our enquiries came from corporate and professional users who were using heavier full size camcorders, so a Pro-Jib to support heavier camcorders up to 14kg. was introduced. Since then we have increased our range of grip equipment for both the professional and amateur user. In recent years we have supplied many Colleges, Universities, the BBC, Independent TV companies, Hospitals and Police forces with our camera grip equipment.
