It weighs less than three pounds and will take a camera up to around six pounds. They also include a zippered sand bag counterweight that you can fill as needed. It all fits nicely in the included travel case. The Aviator Travel Jib will set you back around five hundred smackers but looks like a great system for travel.

    Looks great. What size tripod do you need? 100mm bowl? Or something different?

     It’ll work with any tripod that is rated to hold 17lbs or more. It has an industry standard 3/8 16 thread on the bottom. So you can put it on a photo tripod or a bowl mount using a half ball leveler. You can even connect the quick release from your video head to it if you are in a hurry.
