Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. What would you need to mount the ronin M in the upright position onto this?

A: You can hang the Ronin by attaching the CineMilled DJI Ronin M Quick Plate to the bottom of the crane's camera mounting plate.

Q: 3. does this crane need a specific kind of tripod?

A: The base of the Pocket Jib has a 3/8 -16 screw hole so it will mount to the base of any standard tripod leg. You will just want to make sure the tripod you use is rated to support the total payload.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Reference 6th photo of DVC 210 crane/jib. Can someone identify the tilt head in the photo?

A: According to ProAm, this is the Micro Fluid Head 3126 by Manfrotto - which is unfortunately no longer sold by B&H. A similar alternative to this item is the Manfrotto 128RC MA128RC (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/553886-REG/Manfrotto_128RC_128RC_QR_Micro_Fluid.html)

Q: 6. What is the mount on the end of the jib - looks like the 100mm Ball Relocator?

A: Yes, the end of the crane arm features a ball relocator with 100mm bowl.

Q: 7. can this Jib handle a Sony FS7?

A: This Jib is awesome but it is best used with a body with a short base as the attachment plate for the Jib is a little bit short. There is a possibility that your threaded hole is in a position that it would clear the arm when going up and down but I am not sure. We use it with our Panasonic AC90 and it just clears it. Use strong sticks though as the jib / tripod will wobble if the camera is too heavy. I hope this helps.

Q: 8. does this come with a case?

A: No, it does not. Not coming with a case is for the people who will keep the crane in the studio and never go on location. For those of you more adventurous types, here is the recommended carrying case. ProAm USA Extra-Large Camera Crane Carrying Bag for HD750 B&H # PRCRNBAG750.

Q: 9. Is it possible to point the camera directly down as shown in the 6th photo with only the included parts?

A: No, the added mounting head shown in the 6th image is not included. You will need a separate head to point the camera directly down.

Q: 10. What is the approximate maximum / minimum angle for the crane arm? In other words, how close to vertical will it go when fully raised or lowered? (I realize this is somewhat dependent on the tripod/mount, but I'm wondering about the crane itself.)

A: I'm not sure on the angle. If set up in a typical fashion, the jib will not hit the legs of a tripod nor will attached standard weights on the rear balance section. On a five foot tall base the unit boasts that it will go from the ground to eleven feet tall. I find that to be pretty close to true. ProAm has a website with slightly more information about the unit that could come in handy. I hope this helps.

[15 lb / 6.8 kg] I was looking for a compact, easy to use jib for real estate videos and some documentary actualities. I tried the DJI Osmo but it wasn't as smooth as I needed it to be (it still shows the slight up and down movements when you're walking, although it's really smooth otherwise). I've used Fisher dolly jibs and others and know how smooth they can be and while the Kessler Pocket Jib is no Fisher, it's still awesome. It's perfect for my needs. It's compact, easy to put together, very sturdy and works the way I hoped it would. When it's folded up, it's no larger than my collapsed Manfrotto tripod legs and it weighs about the same, maybe slightly less. The length is a big plus, too. I'm able to extend my tripod legs to full height and get large swooping shots when needed. I highly recommend to anyone looking for fluid and smooth dynamic shots with a compact jib. 5
