The gimbal was very simple to use just attach to tripod with screw supplied. I use this for wildlife photography and 600mm lens. Great to have option of swiveling left/right or up/down specially with birds in flight. It's heavy but very sturdy

Eine der Feststell-Schrauben hat sich nach einer Woche gelöst, so dass ich den Gimbal nicht mehr fixieren konnte.
Habe ein Bild an den Support geschickt und umgehend ein ganz neues Produkt erhalten.
Der Service ist also ziemlich gut.
Jetzt hoffe ich, dass das Problem eine einmalige Sache ist, denn insgesamt macht der Gimbal einen hochwertigen Eindruck.

Just love how compatible it is to my Manfrotto tripod. It is very solid and carries my 150-600mm lense very well. When looking at other more expensive units, then this is a great and affordable alternative.

it seems like a well engineered tripod head and my first impressions are positive. Hopefully it will work well in the field.

I LOVE THIS THING. It is so well made and works like a charm. I should have bought it much sooner.

A gimbal head is pretty much essential for a long lens, but it’s a niche product. Gimbals generally are no use for normal photography as you can’t shift between horizontal and vertical operation unless you connect your camera / lens combo via a lens tripod foot and you don’t get them on shorter lenses.
The friction adjusters are rather binary - they’re either locked or loose. However, you can pay a lot more and still suffer that.
The other thing to note is that the gimbal mount will only mount a full sized DSLR (Canon 80D in my case) with the gimbal frame on the left - this means that you have ‘go around’ the frame and the friction adjusters to get to your lens with your left hand. However, a lot of gimbals suffer this and they’re already too big and cumbersome!
This aluminium model is heavier than a cheap carbon-fibre model, but I’d rather trust cheap aluminium welding over cheap CF layup…
