Very well made, solid construction, holds the camera firmly and is easy to adjust.

It does what it’s meant to do but it is heavy and feel it’s worth paying extra for a lighter one however it is good and works well

Highly recommend, I was split between this and manfrotto one for my monopod and I must say it's really well built, would highly recommend

This was only to support a Leica Q3 and fits the bill perfectly. I have bought a step up ring from K&F before and was pleased with the quality there as well.

This is for the Upgraded Gimbal Head.
I'm astonished how good the construction, fit, and finish was on such an inexpensive gimbal head. I bought mine in the fall, with the intention of using it in Winter for wildlife photography. I'm not sure if it was because the weather was cold, but the grease in the Pan bearing was insanely stiff, and required me to hold the tripod with one hand while rotating the camera with the other, and even then it was stiff enough that I worried about damaging the bayonet mount on my lens from the torsion.
The solution was to remove the rubber pad on the very bottom of the gimbal, which hides three small screws. Remove those screws, pop of the cover, and then you'll have access to the bearing with its very thick grease. I removed about 70% of the grease and then reassembled. It helped tremendously, and I can now pan without having to brace the tripod.
It's still winter, so I'm not sure if it'll be too loose once the grease warms up in the summer, but if so, I'll just add some grease back in.
In any case, this is a great gimbal head for the money!

First gimbal head I like it. Easy to use. Not a bad price. Little stuff but still awesome head.
