  • Easy to use
We used this for identifying shore birds at the lake. It pans left to right and up and down smoothly.

  • Great Gimble Head!
Held up my EF 600mm F/4 without complaint while I captured pics of a peregrine nest with chicks! I had wind load and this Gimble held place, adjusted easily, just a joy to use.

  • Could Be A 5 of 5 Stars But One Bone To Pick
The aluminum "camera plate" that comes with the gimbal is indeed lightweight (as advertised) but the surface of the Benro plate, that the foot of the camera lens, (in this case my Sony 100-400 G lens foot) connects to is very polished smooth and slippery. I found, in spite of tightening the plate to the lens foot as much as I dared, the connection loosened up almost immediately allowing the camera to pivot horizontally on the plate. That's unacceptable. The fix is a different lens foot compatible with the gimbal's common arca set-up. This won't be a problem for most photographers as they will typically have a few lying around. I happened to have another one. I'm NOT using the plate that comes with it, which is part of what I paid for. Grrrr I would suggest to the Benro people a thin, grippy rubber piece along the surface of the Benro camera plate (which my old one has) which resolves the problem. As far as the rest of the gimbal's quality, it appears to be everything I was looking for and I'm happy. However, I have yet to take it out and use it so I may end-up writing more. I'm a first time gimbal user and very excited. I'm 69 and my wrist and arms and back tire of holding my lens for hours on end shooting BIF shots. My pics are sure to therefore be sharper in focus, at least that's what I'm hoping for and this gimbal and my new tripod should deliver. ... show more

  • Knobs that secures the plate is lose and not secure
Overall itโ€™s a great gimbal but a major flow kills it .itโ€™s the knob that secures the plate gets lose with a single touch

  • Big improvement over a monopod
So far the wife likes it for her 500mm prime lens. She has not told me of any problems or complaints so that makes it a 5 rating for me!

  • Solid construction and great quality (Updated)
Updated on Dec.11, 2020: Just posted an image for reference. Someone had a question on the height of the gimbal. It is just shy of 10" (see photo). And again, what a great gimbal! Spend the extra money now and don't look back. Buy once, cry once. (Original Review)I've been on the fence for a few years now on whether or not to purchase a gimbal. I finally reached a point where I got fed up with holding my 5D Mark III with the 70-200mm f2.8 with one hand while adjusting/tightening the ball head with my other hand all while looking through the view finder to compose my shot. I use this lens a lot for portrait. I really liked the way it looked and the fact that it was carbon fiber was a bonus. After reading other people's reviews and a few YouTube videos I pulled the trigger and have no regrets. It is a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. It's so nice now just panning and swinging the gimbal in the direction that I need it in and twisting the knob to lock. ... show more
