Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hi the load capicity indicated is 10lb/4.5 kg. Does it include the counter balance weights or is it just calculated for the camera (or crane and camera)?

A: The load capacity refers to the weight of the camera and accessories.

Q: 2. whats in the box ??

A: In the box is what you see in the image, an adapter that allows you to mount the Kesller Pocket Jib on a 75mm or 100mm bowl tripod. Unscrew the handle, mount the ball in the tripod, level and reattach the handle. Then mount the Pocket Jib with the top two mounting nuts.

Q: 3. Will this work with both the Pocket Jib and the Pocket Jib Traveler?

A: This is for the larger Pocket Jib only.

Q: 4. Does the jib come with everything you need to keep the camera perfectly level as you tilt up and down, or is there some other fitment that is needed to achieve this? Can I clamp a DSLR to the end of it, move it up and down and the camera will stay perfectly horizontal?

A: As long as you set the level first, you will achieve a level move. The jib is portable so you are limited to the move distance.

Q: 5. Is this intended to connect directly to a tripod leveling base or panning base with a 3/8" stud? Or would I use a QR plate like ARCA? What are the two knobs on the mount in the photos for - what are they securing?

A: This is designed to connect directly to the tripod.

Q: 6. does the have a mechanism to lock tilt?

A: Is possible

Q: 7. Does it have auto-tilt capability?

A: The Kessler Crane Pocket Jib Traveler has auto-level but not auto tilt. Since Kessler cranes do not offer auto-tilt, they instead utilize electronic pan and tilt heads.

Q: 8. What is the ratio for the counterweights, at the different extensions?

A: Use this formula to calculate the ballpark counterweights for jibs like the Kessler Crane Pocket Jib PRO (without 100mm Swivel Mount) at varying lengths: Camera weight x distance of the camera to the pivot / distance of counter to the pivot.

Q: 9. Is it possible to get an overhead shot (looking straight down) with this jib?

A: It is possible to get an overhead shot with this jib, however you'll probably want to attach a security cable to your camera to play it safe. There are two knobs that can be loosened to extend the jib; when both are fully extended the camera will stay parallel to ground, but if you extend the top bar further than the bottom bar you can progressively tilt the camera down further and further. This jib has been extremely useful on my shoots, where I rarely have an assistant, as I can set this up in just a few minutes. Make sure you properly set your counter weight, this and a bit of practice and you'll be getting some nice, smooth shots.

Q: 10. Will this plate work with Custom Brackets' QRA Arca-Swiss Style Tripod Quick Release Receiver?

A: Ive used it with really right stuff ball head which is an arca style quick release.

[1 lb / 0.5 kg] When I was shopping for my jib I wanted something I could fold up and didn't have to hassle with when traveling. This fit all my needs and is really easy to operate with no hassle. If you are looking for something that can fold up to and toss in your truck this is perfect!

[0.415 lb] Overall we are very satisfied with this product. It works great, is built to last, and is a great traveling companion. So far we've tested with a Nikon D750 and Ikan 7 monitor. In the near future we'll test with our Sony cameras. For a small sized travel jib - we are glad we went with Kessler.

[0.415 lb] Bought this to assist in making videos of muscle and collector cars. Did months of research and considered building my own to save money. Glad I didn't, as this unit is compact and well engineered. I like the craftsmanship and cutouts that help reduce weight. I use it with a Canon 70D and accessories that weigh about 7 lbs. This all is balanced with a 5lb weight and moves smoothly.

[1 lb / 0.5 kg] We use this for DSLR video work. Excellent build, nice balance, compact, and produces very smooth moves. Has a nice reach for how small it is when collapsed. It would be perfect if the camera platform had more movement options, but it's designed to be portable and something has to give. All Kessler products I've used are well machined, very strong and reliable. A bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.

[1 lb / 0.5 kg] I read a lot of reviews, watched every video on the web and made a decision to buy this product because it got a lot of very positive reviews. That being said, I didn't think it would be as good as it is. It was huge surprise looking at the quality of the manufacturing, materials and engineering. It is smooth as glass and he's here to assemble than I thought it would be. This is the central gear to any traveling videographer.

[0.415 lb] I have had my Pocket Jib Traveler for a few years. I was always troubled by not being able to control the camera tilt when I did a vertical slide. For some time a Bescor MP101 solved the problem. Then I overloaded it and stripped the tilt gear. A Ronin-MX has been on the wish list for a long time and it finally went from the wish list to the shopping cart.
I quickly realized the rear extension of the MX would not clear the crane when severely tilted. The MX is designed to be underslung so I built a hanger for it that is long enough to clear the crane arm in any position. The combination pictured is what I call my indoor flight rig.�
The tripod is on heavy duty wheels. I look through the GH5 lens with the Panasonic Image App WiFi connected to and iPad. The MX wireless pad completes the rig.�
Warning, this is an addicting rig for indoor work. I do like shooting vertical slides. The crane is strained to its limits. I am using 10lbs of counterweight.

[1 lb / 0.5 kg] I love love love it! After hours of researching the different options for compact, lightweight pocket jibs, I opted for the slightly heavier Kessler because it seems to be built best, carry a heavier camera load, have minimal flex, etc, etc. it does not disappoint. I was able to set it up without following any instructions, and it sets up in close to a minute. Word to the wise, go get a 5lb dumbbell free weight from @ ($) - this jib comes with a cling to hold the weight. 5lbs should do the trick for most cameras... Especially with the adjustability Kessler provides... Sliding the weight back/forth until it's just right, then lock 'er in. Enjoy!

[1 lb / 0.5 kg] This jib raised the bar on my quality videos substantially. What I love most about this mini jib is the fact that it's so compact, it'll fit in my tripod bag and can be set up on the spot instantly
