Kessler Pocket Jib Traveler

Just got the new Aviator. For a small jib, I liked the design better than the Kessler and liked the fluid pan base.
Really nice design.
Just got a chance to set it up quickly with a GH3 (that I'd probably use exclusively on it).
I can set it up and have it balanced in a couple of minutes...certainly less than five and it only requires a single 2.5 plate with the GH3, so very cool.
And it collapses ridiculously small, like violin case small.

I posted a thread here about a review I found of the Kessler Pocket Jib and there's a discussion therein, but one thing we were curious about was how the Aviator compared in one respect - the rap on the Kessler seems to be that it's a bit wobbly. How would characterize the wobbliness of the Aviator... is it wobbly a lot, a little, not at all - which? Thanks in advance!
 
I didn't find the Kessler Traveler to be wobbly at all with a DSLR mounted. It was rock solid, cleverly designed, and built well. Sounds like you can't go wrong with either the Kessler or the Aviator, but my money is going to Kessler for sure. I've been using their gear for several years now and everything is still working perfectly, like the day I bought it. Plus, Eric Kessler is a stand up dude :)
