"The only bad thing is that the discs on top of the rollers peel off too easy - especially when you move the furniture."
"Strong!"

Find Best Price at Amazon"It comes fully assembled but in "Knock down transport mode" meaning all of the intelligent assembly work is done, all you need to do is slip the front section (where the camera mounts) to the rear section (where the jib mounts to the tripod) and slip the handle/counter balance arm into the back section. There is also a second camera/accessory mounting bracket included along with hardware and Allen wrenches to mount it. The first thing That I did was add a ball mount to the camera platform. I don't care what jib or crane you buy, with will have to learn to balance it with the weight of the gear you mount. I decided to use an extra quick release plate from my tripod and mount that to the jib. The only other adjustment I made to the unit from how it came was to tighten up the cross screws that mount the tubular arms to camera and tripod mounting brackets. Set up the jib on your tripod and with your camera mounted and balanced and using the supplied Allen wrench and a wrench or socket, tighten each screw (there are four) just a little bit and try the jig."
"However, I worry about counterweight tube starting to flex under 15lbs of weight. Aluminum tubing + flexing = not a good thing, and I'm starting to worry that the counterweight tube may snap and destroy the camera if it gets catapulted forward."
"Haven't had a chance to use it on set, but I find it strikes the balance between shooting on a budget and wanting a professional looking camera move."
"This is a nice Jib, but a few things are missing."
"Does what it's supposed to do but it's pretty flimsy."
