I noticed that you said you had the cobracrane backpacker but only used it once because it was "loose". I have considered buying that crane to add to some of my shots, I'm guessing you didn't like it much? Can you give a quick pro/con for it?

I appreciate it! Good commercial by the way!

@marshallandroxy It was loose because it was sitting in the truck of my car for a month getting bounced around. Had I properly took care of it, it would be fine. I definitely recommend it as it serves its purpose as a jib crane and it's nice, compact, and easily portable (compared to most other jib cranes). I would use it more but can never seem to justify using it for certain shots.

My goal is to learn when to use it and put it to use for some future establishing shots.
