JibOne $69, ProAM $249 or Kessler $1000+ ? Not judging by price only, which 1?

am looking for a jib to use for a television commercial that
the clients are requesting.

I really only need it one day as for now.
There are n o rental houses in my area, so I have to order one.

My question is, Which unit will be best of these 3. I have heard of them
all but have never used one. I am looking at the

JibOne because my budget is a little low for this production and it cost only $69 for their 6ft Top Mounted Bracket Crane.

The Kessler Crane is kind of expensive, but I can squeeze it if I have to. $1000+

I have heard that the ProAm crane is good, but does not offer anything more than the
lower cost cranes like TomyJib or JibOne. $249

I am leaning toward the JibOne Crane for $69 but I would like some advice if someone has any to offer.

We made a last minute decision and went with the
JibOne.

3 reasons:

1) We spent too much time talking about it, so we didn't have
enough time to order from the other companies to get it on time.

2) They considered 60 miles away "local", and had a guy out to my studio
the next day. He hooked everything up for us and explained how to use it.
He also explained how to get the best use out of it.

3) The cost was so low that I felt like we cheated them. lol
