Counterweights
The Jib is setup with “plate weights” or bar bells” style weights. Plate weights come in several weights
and diameters. They get smaller as the weights get lighter. The largest (25lbs) is about 11 inches in
diameter. The mounting hole is 1” in diameter for all weights. The jib has a varying weight ratio de-
pending on the length you have chosen. The 33ft arm itself balances at about
185 lbs
. Just multiply
the weight, of the additional items you will put on the end of the arm, by 6 and you will know how
much weight to buy. Buy a few extras in case you add other accessories.
The lighter weights will allow you to “fine tune” once you’re ready to go.
