Tripod Gimbal Head 44lbs/20kg Load Professional Heavy Duty 360° Pantilt with 1/4'' Standard Quick Release Plate & Bubble Level

Works perfectly Very secure and fluid comparable to more expensive models I would definitely purchase this beginner or pro.

Sits on top of my tripod, for use with long camera lenses.

First off this thing is wobbly and anything but smooth. If you are not handy do not buy this one. I disassembled mine and was able to get it stable and smooth. This is what I did.I disassembled mine and was able to get it stable and smooth and this undoubtedly voided any warranty. The compass is something you would get out of a gum ball machine. I removed it along with the cap it sat in. This gave me access to the bolt. I disassembled and found that some of the machining was not deburred and bits of metal were in the joint. I deburred the machining and cleaned up any loose metal. Test fitting the parts relieved a lot of slop to the fit, well over 0.030". I was on a dead line and could not make a spacer so used brass shim stock to tighten the fit. The lubrication was very tacky so I cleaned all parts and used a Teflon based lubricant. The bolt was a tapered head and was very hard to get the pressure correct. Replaced bolt with a button head and made a brass washer to allow movement though time. The tilt joint was also disassembled as it was very wobbly when loosened to move and would loose position in the process of locking it down. Again I shimmed the parts to tighten the fit and lubricated. This was harder to shim as part of the lock down mechanism is also part of the stability for this joint. The lock down screw for the mounting plate had a bubble level in it...even though it would serve no practical use. I removed it and found it was based on a metric thread M6-1. I removed it and modified a seat post adjuster from a bicycle so I now have a cam lock. To cover where the compass had been, I used a bubble level (in a position that is actually useful) that I attached with double sided tape. This is just till I can machine proper spacers out of UHMW plastic at which time I will attach the bubble level better..For the price it is what it is, you get what you pay for. If you are capable of fixing its short comings it might be a bargain compared to high end gimbals.

Perfect for my needs on a heavy duty Tripod. Wouldn't work on my lightweight tri-pod because it is heavy. I had to purchase a heavier Tripod so the balance of traversing side to side or up and down was sturdy during my phot shoots

I got this quickly and was very pleased with it, especially for the money. The only thing that I didn't expect is that the base is 3/8" and my tripod adapter is 1/4". So I bought some 3/8" to 1/4" threaded bushings and that worked out perfectly.

I was hesitant ordering the right product. Was referred by a friend. Awesome gimble, exactly what I needed. Thank you. Received a day earlier.

This is my first Gimbal - for me it works great. I shoot mostly sports and wildlife. I switch the Gimbal between my tripod and my monopod. I’ve been using it successfully without any complaints for about 5 months.

I was told I should protect my camera with a sturdy tripod. This definitely does the job.

Great product.

Definitely worth the money and it's sturdier than I thought it would be. Enough adjustable parts to make it work at least for what I do which is YouTube videos. I do recommend that you either get a heavy duty tripod or be very aware of how top heavy your lighter tripod becomes. Overall very happy with it especially for such a low price.
