Porta-Jib 35lbs Counter Weight Set for Traveller

Counterweights will no longer be included in the base price of the Standard Porta-Jib or the Porta-Jib Traveller. Official Porta-Jib weights are powder-coated and bear the distinctive Porta-Jib name stamped into the metal. Metal weights can be purchased at most sporting goods stores. Their jibs have a 1" (25mm) weight shaft and a standard barbell weight has a 35mm opening, which will work perfectly.

The advantage to buying weights locally from a sporting goods store is that they may be less expensive and there will be no shipping costs. A word of caution however: barbell weights are designed to be used indoors primarily and are often simply painted. When these weights are exposed to outdoor conditions, they often will rust rather quickly. Porta-Jib weights are powder-coated and will hold up much better over the years. For the Porta-Jib Traveller, suggested weights are two 10 lb. weights and three 5 lb. weights. 35 lbs. (16kg) total.
