bought this because my old ball head on my travel tripod began to fail and while I contemplated buying a whole new tripod, I thought this might do the job. I am very happy with this purchase. While I am not a photography gear snob, I often invest in better gear because there is usually a reason that something is cheap. That being said I photograph waterfalls and do long exposure photography and I cannot have my camera slip at all. I’m happy with this company (check out their filters) and purchase. The controls are smooth and easy. Recommend.

Sits on carbon fibre tripod perfectly and holds my Nikon D850 with up to 600mm lens without any problems whatsoever!! Very happy!

Great piece of kit in every way. Except if you wanted to hike around or be moving a lot. It has a fair bit of weight to it and you will notice it offsetting your pack balance.
But if you plan to set up and stay put for a day of photography. Then it's a win.

This Gimbal is built well , maybe little on the heavy side.
I think it would be good for entry level photography & would be fine for most shots .
The reason I returned it was I didn't care for the play in the horizontal pivot .
And when you tighten the lock knob for the horizontal pivot it changes camera position slightly .

Does all that’s wanted & am using it on both my tripod & monopod. Glad I bought it as has lessened camera shake a lot.

Do not use this gimbal head on a tripod, but on a table. (photo hut). Is stable and has good hinges. I don't notice any difference on this table compared to my Benro head, which is 3 times more expensive.

Gets stiff in the winter because of the cold, but otherwise everything is fine!

Wonderful piece of gear, I wish I had bought one sooner. Very good quality and easy to use.

Worked great straight out of the box. A very robust device for the price
