C100: Suggestions for a one man Jib for the C100

As the title suggests, I want to purchase a "budget" one man jib for use with the C100... I realise this is a stretch due to the weight of the camera and options are limited.

99% of the time I work alone so ideally I'd like something light, easily carried, and quick to set up.. preferably a one piece jib that extends (2-3m?), rather than a jib that comes in several parts.

I'm liking the look of the Kessler Jib Traveller which supports up to 10lbs - My C100 with 17-40 F4 L lens and Gorilla Baseplate is around 5.5lbs. Has anyone used this jib? I watched Phil Blooms review and he used it with the C300 (with mixed results)

Thanks,

Drew.
 
I use one of those generic carbon fibre ones, a left over from my short GH3 stay. If you don´t want anything specific or repeatable, but maybe just need to spice up that static wide shot of the outside of a building - along with some post stabilization (eg Smoothcam) it gets the job done. So for anything editorial/ENG/short docu I´d use it, for "higher end" jobs, that could still be done with the C100, but have a larger budget, an agency, picky producer aso, I´d look elsewhere...
 
I've used the Aviator Travel Jib ($500) with my c100, hand grip removed and audio handle was still on.
I think I had a sigma 10-20mm on it or the sigma 24mm 1.8 prime.

I swooped it back when it was on Kickstarter hee hee

Another vote for the Long Valley Seven Jib. I own one, and it's, IMO, unmatched in capabilities and performance for it's portability.
