The Pocket Jib Traveler from Kessler Crane is designed for shooters that require an ultra-portable jib solution. It features a reach of 72" from the fulcrum when fully extended. The Pocket Jib Traveler is completely self-contained, and it collapses to 27" in length for transport and storage without requiring disassembly. The center-mounted camera platform provides stability and is designed to work seamlessly with the optional Kessler Kwik Release system for fast camera mounting.

The Pocket Jib Traveler is equipped with an adjustable sliding weight bar that provides fine-balance adjustment without significantly increasing the size of the jib. Engineered to be strong and lightweight, the jib features weight reducing window cuts that also improve its structural integrity. Incorporating both 3/8"-16 and ¼"-20 threaded mounting holes allow you to mount the jib to a variety of supports including an optional 100mm Ball kit with a 3/8"-16 stud or a standard tripod quick release plate. Integrated 1/4"-20 accessory mounting holes allow you to attach optional monitors and other accessories without affecting the operation of the jib.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Hello, I want to buy this product but with the flat mount on it just like in Kessler's page... can you do that?

A: Well, the picture and model number are exactly the same as the one on Kessler's page. Perhaps you are referring to non-standard version such B&H # KECS1010 that includes the hand crank.

Q: 2. 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: 3. 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: 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. 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: 6. 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: 7. 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: 8. 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: 9. How it can be only 22 long when the traveler is about 26 inches long? I guess what you wrote is a mistake

A: The Kessler Pocket Dolly v2.0 comes in three versions, the Mini 21.25 , the Traveler 27.5 , and the Standard 39.5 version. This case would fit the Mini.In maintaining B&H's catalog of over 200,000 items, errors can occur. We thank you for bringing this to our attention and I will alert the Web Team about this.
