[crippsy22]

[Tubeboy732]

[discovermaine]

Is this product on the market yet?

[KesslerCrane]

[UltraMegaPrettyGood]

Does this make Julienne Fries also?

[aaronperspective]

Are you considering manufacturing a Pocket Jib that can tilt the head manually? Would be perfect for those of us in the music video world. If you could manually tilt the head I and many of my friends would buy it!!!

[aaronperspective]

Can you attach your Camera Turret to the Pocket Jib?

[gabrielc]

I'm wondering about noise. How silent is the slider?

[digivideoproductions]

Any updates on this product?

[phuketdvd]

Would be awesome if we could pan/tilt the head.

[larry50]

Perhaps you will sell a pocket to put these pocket products, for particular people? I wouldn't want to put pits in my pocket products.

This Is A Camera Crane I Will Buy! Do You Guys Have A Location Were People Can Try Before We Buy It?

[KesslerCrane]

Thanks Jarred

[dregar1]

OK, how much and when can I buy one?

[KesslerCrane]

The Pocket Dolly™ should be available next week @ a price of $499.95.

The Pocket Jib™ is still a couple months out, probably. We'll keep sending updates out via Twitter.

[bennybriceno]

Can the pocket jib be converted into the 8 or 12? THAT WOULD ROCK.

[KesslerCrane]

No. This is strictly a small compact jib.

Our standard cranes have the ability to be configured for 5.5', 8', 12', and soon 16' lengths. Our standard cranes also allow for the manual tilt function.

[seahkw]

this is really cool! U guys have integrated the crane and slider into one!

[digitalbees]

wow, i've been looking for something exactly like the pocket jib for a long time. looks fantastic; exactly what i need and i can't wait to get my hands on one!

[pilotwes247]

sorry to ask such a "lame-o" question, but would this whole setup work with an hvx200a?

[KesslerCrane]

Yep, should not be a problem. We are still doing our testing, but the "functional" weight capacity while probably be somewhere around 20 - 25 pounds.

[seecraig]

Given the dolly's estimated weight handling (25lbs) what are the risks/preventions needed to keep the tripod from falling over if the camera dollys to the end of its "track?"

[seecraig]

About a month ago you mentioned a $400-$500 price range but the video only showed dolly use. It this new dolly/jib combo still in that price range?

[KesslerCrane]

No, the $400-$500 price range is for the Pocket Dolly™ only. We are still working on a price for the Pocket Jib™. Hope to have that soon.

[seecraig]

It looks like the Pocket Jib also includes the features of the Pocket Dolly.

I'm wondering if one were to get a Pocket Dolly (assuming it comes out significantly sooner) would there be an upgrade kit or update policy if one wanted to move to the combo device.

I think you need to be careful about the names you chose so it's clear that you do have a combo device.

[KesslerCrane]

I think you may be confused. The Pocket Jib™ & Pocket Dolly™ are two different products that can be used together. There is a jib (Pocket Jib™) and a slider/dolly (Pocket Dolly™) which can be mounted to the jib, if you so desire.

What is shown and described here is the Pocket Dolly™ mounted to the Pocket Jib™.

[seecraig]

Absolutely confused but that cleared it up.

So one can get Pocket Dolly and get Pocket Jib at a future point and mount Pocket Dolly to it.

[KesslerCrane]

Bingo! ;-)

We always try to allow our customers as many options as possible. -cb

tripod back = tripod bag

[bmxky]

The jib looks really good, I like that it can extend. The only think I don't really like is that it is wide...although I know why you did this(for larger cameras), but this would keep me from strapping it to my tripod back and taking it into the field with me. without an extra person for it. If only it could collapse in width also.

Thanks for making a facebook page and a dvinfo account.

[KesslerCrane]

How heavy of a camera would you be using?

[bmxky]

Right now I'm just using an HV30 with a wide angle lens. When I graduate in May and find a good job I hope to get a scarlet sometime in the future.
