Anyone got a Cheap Jib Idea for 7d

Actually, the cheapest and most versatile rig you should look at for your purposes is a pocket dolly. ZaZaCast Films has written a pretty detailed posting on just how to make your own pocket dolly for right around $170.

Not only does the pocket dolly work wonders for lateral movement with cameras like the 7D, but take a look at what you can do in this video at around 01:10 with a second fluid head :

jib not dolly... i have already made myself a zaza slider for dolly moves... i will look at the other link to see the lateral movement
 
Bought a ProAm Jib years ago and still rocks solid for 7D :-)
Here are the pics of it in use on my last weekend shoot:

Im not sure what brand of the FF system but it was a remote FF system and belongs to my AC.

Scraches? yeah I see them... they must be some kind of reflections because if it was that scratched, we'd be in trouble... that is a 14mm rental lens.
