Reach 57" (145cm) - Boom 72" (183cm) Wt. 60 lbs. (27kg)
This is the most versatile of all small jibs because of its ability to interface with a variety of professional fluid heads and tripods and carry up to 100 lbs. of front end camera/fluid head weight. It future-proofs your investment since it can accommodate small cameras with 100mm fluid heads, as well as heavily accessorized cameras requiring 150mm or Mitchell based fluid heads.
It assembles in less than 5 minutes. No tools required. All parts are machined aluminum and stainless steel. Boom lock, pan lock, Vector Balancing Bar, and Fine Tuning Weight are included. However, the Porta-Jib Custom Case, Front Inserts, Bases, and Counterweights are not included. See accessory pricing below.

| Notes about Bases: |
| 1) |
We purposely do not make a 100mm base for the jib because most 100mm tripods are not strong enough to carry this much weight. Our Traveller Jib is designed to work with 100mm tripods. |
| 2) |
The new version of the 150mm Base is actually two bases in one, a Mitchell Base with an 150mm adapter ring. |
| 3) |
When using our 3-Way Leveler, no additional base is needed to interface with our LW Tripod. When using our 3-Way Leveler and a Mitchell or 150mm tripod, you will also need a Mitchell or 150mm Base. |

MONITOR SUPPORT BRACKET - For Front Operation
Balanced Monitor Bracket - for front-operated jib work $395
Now 8 inch (or smaller) monitors can be used as an easy-to-view on-camera display for jib work. As you boom the camera up and down, this new bracket's handle allows you to have your left hand controlling the angle of the monitor at all times, and because it is balanced, whenever you let go of the handle, the monitor will remain in that angle. So, for example, as the camera is boomed upward, above your head, you can flip the monitor, as you let go with your left hand, into a downward angle that will be easy to see, confident that the monitor will retain its desired angle for viewing.
The bracket assembly mounts between your camera's base and the fluid head's balance plate, and comes with its own balance plate assembly to mount to your camera. This bracket allows you to move the monitor fore and aft, as well as up and down to obtain nodal point balance. It then has a drag adjustment that allows it to move smoothly to keep it from being completely free-wheeling.

| LOW PROFILE 3-WAY LEVELER $395 |
 |
Attaches to the base of either the Standard Porta-JIb or Traveller and drops into the top of the tripod. Allows you to level the jib without moving the tripod legs. This is especially useful for those who want to have the Standard Jib on our rolling 3-Leg Spider. As one rolls from point A to point B, the floor invariably changes in level. So rather than trying to move the legs, which is difficult with a fully loaded jib, especially with the foot of the tripod locked into place on the dolly, you can now simply make the leveling adjustment at the base of the jib. Its low profile allows it to remain attached to the SPJ and still fit into the SPJ's custom case.
