This is a gimbal-type device that incorporates an elevated tilt mechanism with an adjustable platform to perfectly align the center-of-gravity of large lenses with the tilt-axis of your head. The result is a perfectly balanced lens every time you reposition your camera.

With a ball head, the lens / camera combination rests on a point â the ball. If the camera is tilted upwards or downwards, such as when following a bird in flight, or even when simply panning to reposition, the whole assembly will tilt forward or back under its own weight. This is inherently unstable and can lead to a big expensive lens ending face-down in the. With a gimbal mount the entire weight is hung rather than balanced, and it consequently remains extremely stable. A camera / lens combination can be panned and tilted with a single finger, and because the horizontal and vertical axis are separate they can be locked independently.

It is made of cast aluminium, powder coated and finished with cnc machine, the tripod head weighs in at only 4.3lbs (1.958kg). It is capable of adjusting to fit any telephoto lens with a rotation collar and an appropriate arca-swiss style lens is ideally suited to lenses similar in size to a 600mm f4. Weight carrying capacity : 10lbs. Camera & lens are not included.
