Flexible, portable, and with a 44.1 b load capacity, the Cartoni K103 3-Section Jibo Fluid Jibis suitable for interior and exterior jib moves. Its compact size and load capacity make it ideal for capturing cinematic jib moves with a variety of cameras ranging from action to cinema cameras. It has a front telescopic arm that extends its reach up to 19.7" for when you are in a tight space but want to get just a bit closer without moving your base, which is handy when working around furniture.

The jib's base mounts onto tripods with a 100mm bowl fitting (tripod not included), and it features fluid drag modules for both pan and tilt. Much like with a fluid head, these modules can help make slow movements smooth, and the modules can be engaged or disengaged as needed. An included horizontal lock makes for a safer setup of the jib, which can go from the included wheeled travel case to being mounted on your tripod in about three minutes.

The front telescopic arm permits the Cartoni Jibo to work in a wide variety of shooting positions. The fluid head supporting the camera can be positioned in several different positions as underslung, sideways, etc.

A length of 48" allows shooting from absolute ground level to 78" in height, with a maximum extension of 67.7".

The fluid drag modules help provide smooth moves with long slow moves, and they can be engaged or disengaged as desired for the shot.

The rear part of the arm, which holds the counterweights, is extendable to provide for accurate camera balance. The typical counterweight kit is 55 lb of rubberized gym weights.

Q: 5. is this tripod head and body compatible with the rhino evo carbon slider?

A: I personally feel that while you could mount a slider on this tripod, you will find better stability by placing the slider on a table or a hard service. If a stolid service is unavailable long sliders can work on two tripods. I would never try a long slider on a single tripod. Now, that said, the weight of the camera, whether it is a DSLR or a prosumer camcorder, should determine the combined functionality of the slider.
