Pros: Price/quality ratio - Compactness

Cons: Not suitable for digital cameras with demanding optics in terms of weight and size

Opinion: Its behavior has always been honest and if necessary, if I have to plan light outings, I fall back on this model without problems by choosing superZoom of about 2kg (150-600mm) and relying on digital bodies equipped with BatteryGrip and ArcaSwiss plates always longer than the foot on the collars of the optics. After many years there may be an occasional difficulty in removing the Gimbal from the tripod, but you just need to use the right technique. The little sister GH1P differs only in the presence of the arm that helps to tilt the optical-digital system. note: The plate attachment is not horizontal like classic gimbals but vertical and can be moved in height

Pros: Lightness and price

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: After reading the comments about Yuza and confronting a happy friend who owned this head I bought it without much doubt. I personally use it with a canon 500F4 II /multiplier 1.4 and Canon body, apart from a minimum of uncertainty at the first two/ three uses at the time of fixing, otherwise everything fully responds to expectations, certainly a good purchase I have been using it now for over a year.

Pros: Light weight, size and fluidity of movement, price

Cons: At the moment nothing to report

Opinion: I was a little 'puzzled on the purchase, both for the side port both for the lack of the pivoting arm which simplifies perhaps a bit' the management especially in the moment. Instead just put in work I immediately realized both the solidity of the attack that the strength of the materials. The arm I do not miss at all, maybe it's more convenient to have it, but I do not miss and the movements of the SLR with Tamron 150/600 are absolutely fluid and precise. The clamping is safe and without hesitation, the small footprint and the feather of this head weight are then surely the extra gear you are quite convinced that can withstand far greater weight than that of my equipment. I probably saw the small size I think is much more comfortable than monopod mounted on ball head that I happen to use stuck to the ground as a kind of post.

Pros: Lightweight, compact size, quality and price

Cons: At the price I bought nothing

Opinion: I took this rocker head to support the Sigma 150-600s and Canon 7d2. I've tested in a long afternoon of shots. At first you need a little 'getting used side attack: the idea that everything could come off and finish on the ground there, but it's gone now seeing how engagement is stable and rocky. With satisfaction I must say that his work carries it so nothing short of excellent. Movements of fluids and reactive head, never a hesitation or jamming. Does what I want and does it well, with the plus that in zaiono does not occupy too much blank space and weighs only 700g !!! At the price that I found I could not ask for more !!! However, given that the use with atrezzatura that weighs at most 4.5 kg (maximum declared capacity is 12kg ...). With more weight I do not know how it would! Certainly for me it is perfect !!! Straconsigliata !!!

Pros: Light weight, compactness, versatility, price

Cons: Clutch for not very adjustable optics

Opinion: Immediately after I immediately tried it with my 5d km lll and 300 2/8 with attached 2x multiplier and I must say that she acted well the excellent fluidity of movement in good rotation in the vertical flow, if I find a small defect could say that the clutch that adjusts the lens tilting is always a bit ' "hard" i mean that if you point the camera up or down and there is no back parallel to the ground, (watch the movements still remain beautiful fluids They do not feel indecision, compared to all the good things really light passes almost ininfluente.rnTesta albeit convenient to transport aluminum and with a good maximum load of 12 kg at a really great price compared to the quality, now I pose a question to ask myself a reflection of you, why should I spend twice the money to an iron rod when I can have the same thing at a lower price?! rnConsigliata really a deal at all
