Hello everyone!

 

I travel alot and recently I started making travel videos, as seen in my other post here. I study for cameraman. Now to get to the question, I am thinking about buying a portable jib for my travels, one I could take with me on the plane. Does any of you know a proper, not to expensive, jib to buy? 

 

Thanks in advance,

What kind of cameras are you going to support?

 

The tripod/support holding up the jib has to support the weight of the jib + the camera equipment.

 

The jib has to be able to support the weight of the camera equipment.

 

Carbon fiber jibs are lighter so they won't play havoc as much as one made of metal would, but they cost more.

 

Maybe the Kessler Crane Pocket Jib?
