Initial thoughts
My initial thoughts on this gimbal
It’s heavy, robust and that’s what I was looking for. Easy assemble. Smooth movements. Stop screws on the Arca Swiss plate that can help stop catastrophic bad handling.
One issue
I use this with a 70/200 2.8 in combination with a mirrorless camera with a battery grip. The challenge is that when flipping from Portrait to Landscape the a locking bolt stops the full rotation.
Options
Set the gimbal to the opposite side, but the it’s not easy to use the zoom and it’s not a natural hold.
Or find a bolt with a shorter head so the battery grip clears it.
Time will tell.
Bottom line is worth the money absolutely:))
Now all I need is a tripod adapter for a 24/70 that will allow rotation:))
