For those on the go, we offer the CobraCrane Backpacker. This system is the same length at the CobraCrane I (5 feet). The difference is that this package comes as two smaller pieces allowing you to break it down for easy transport. Adding a three foot extension is possible but will reduce the camera carry weight to 4.5Lbs

The CobraCrane Backpacker is an easy to setup jib that is simple to operate, by one individual, while taking amazing footage. Bring a whole new dimension to your video productions by bring the camcorder from a low shot to a high shot smoothly and efficiently. The CobraCrane BackPacker mounts on any sturdy tripod with the CobraCrane Mounting Bracket for quick and easy set up and can shorten to 42 inch for portability. This sturdy construction elevates your camcorder up to 8 feet, and can hold a camcorder up to 6.5 pounds. The CobraCrane BackPacker is made from durable, high strength, lightweight steel.
