Cheap Jib

Does anyone have any experience with this particular jib, the "pro-am"?

Stay far far away. Talking from personal experience here. I ordered from them before I got the cobra crane II, and all I can say, is, don't do it. The construction was pretty shoddy to say the least, the tilting the head was jerky at best and the nuts that were used tended to loosen themselves. The one good thing that I can say about this company is that they did take the jib back, but it took them more than a month to refund my money, and I had to complain to paypal in order to finally get it back. Not worth the hassle.
