is it possible to mount different cameras on this item?

Any camera that can be mounted on a tripod will work. The jib must be counter balanced with weights to balance it. The weights don't come with the jib but can be purchased at a sports store. So depending on the weight of the camera being used will determine the amount of counter-weights needed. I generally use a Panasonic HG-HMC-40 video camera which weighs a little over 3 pounds with added microphone and battery. It works well with my smaller video camera as well. Video or still camera will work but you will need a way to operate the camera.

does it always have to extend the full 8 feet or can you use it at 4 ft or some other length?

Make sure it comes in parts!! (very easy to put together yourself). Then you can get 4ft, 8ft, or 12ft depending on your needs. Note: You will need additional free weights to counterbalance the crane the longer you extend the crane.

Is this product the crane itself or is it just the stand? I ordered a product thinking it was the crane but only got the stand.

I received everything, including the stand, to make the system work as you would expect. You should attach a weight to the arm, opposite the camera end, to balance the unit. I use an old milk jug with about one gallon of water. I am very happy with my unit.

What size weights need to be used? How big does the diameter need to be on the weight itself for it to properly fit on the crane.

1" diameter weights work just fine. You can pick up some at academy or similar stores.
