A jib ( Cartoni) on top of the 5' Cineslider?

Hello,

I own the cartoni jib and
I'm about to buy the 5' Cineslider to use with my jib.

The only reason that I will get the 5' Cinesilider is to put the jib on top of it
to get some dolly jib moves.

Has anyone done in yet?

Thanks of the help!
 
Exactly what I was thinking. The jib arm weighs 20 lbs. Having that much pressure on the slider with it more than a foot or so away from where you have it attached to the sticks could potentially damage the slider and whatever gear it mounts with, or cause the whole thing to tip over.
Actually, do you really anticipate having many shots that involve both types of movement? If that's the case, you'd probably be better off with a real dolly.
 
Thanks Moseph,

The Cineslider can hold rigs weighing up to 80 pounds!

The jib with the camera and everything weighs around 60Lb.
I think the wights is distributed to the front and the back.

No many shots but few money shots that would make the production better.

Anyone else before I buy the 5' Cineslider?

Just keep in mind that according to the promo video for it, the capacity drops to 30lbs when mounted on nothing but the tripod head. So if you're planning on not letting the thing tip over sideways or breaking the tripod head that it's mounted to, have some sort of plan to hold it up from two ends.
 
Thanks!
I was planing to use 2 heavy duty tripods like this!


Anyone else?
