Losmandy Porta-Jib Standard

The Porta-Jib Standard by Losmandy in its basic configuration is designed to carry up to a 100 pound camera, tripod head and accessories, making it one the most versatile of all lightweight jibs. The system assembles in less than 5 minutes without tools. Once assembled the unit can reach a height of 7.5-feet inches with 6-feet of boom travel.

Now, to make a good thing even better, MLD offers an optional 36-inch extension that increases the maximum height of the jib to 10-feet.  With the extension attached the Porta-Jib is still capable of supporting a camera and tripod head weighing up to 49-pounds.

The Standard, like the rest of the Losmandy line of jibs, is manufactured to the highest standards:

• All parts are anodized black machined aluminum, or stainless steel
• Moving parts are controlled by sealed precision ball bearings
• Bubble levels are located on the center column and camera plate for easy levelling

With a weight ratio of 1 to 1:22, and a sliding counterweight shaft for fine tuning, the arm can be balanced in seconds, with a limited number of counter weights. Since no chains, belts or cables are used, a Porta-Jib requires little maintenance. Boom and pan friction, with variable drag, are also standard features.  The unit folds easily without tools, and compacts into a single travel case.

Porta-Jib Standard is available in a basic, or extended configuration as listed below.  

• Porta-Jib (Arm Only)
• Porta-Jib with 150mm Tripod
• Porta-Jib with 150mm Tripod & Doorway Dolly

See Sizes/Configurations for pricing.



NOTE: 150mm tripod systems may not be designed for the additional payload of the jib, and counterweights. Leg locks, in particular, may be inadequate to support this additional weight. Put legs in their most collapsed position to avoid stressing the locks. If using tripod legs mounted on a 3-wheel dolly, be careful to always push in the direction of an opposing leg to avoid tipping the system.
