Sits on carbon fibre tripod perfectly and holds my Nikon D850 with up to 600mm lens without any problems whatsoever!! Very happy!

Great piece of kit in every way. Except if you wanted to hike around or be moving a lot. It has a fair bit of weight to it and you will notice it offsetting your pack balance.
But if you plan to set up and stay put for a day of photography. Then it's a win.

This Gimbal is built well , maybe little on the heavy side.
I think it would be good for entry level photography & would be fine for most shots .
The reason I returned it was I didn't care for the play in the horizontal pivot .
And when you tighten the lock knob for the horizontal pivot it changes camera position slightly .

Does all that’s wanted & am using it on both my tripod & monopod. Glad I bought it as has lessened camera shake a lot.

As a straight forward Ball Head Mounting piece this is very well made and everything about it says it's a quality made item. It functions exactly as it should & I'm getting a lot of use out of it, It turns beautifully on the rotation collar, very smooth and not at all sloppy.. you can undo the locking knob right off and it will not suddenly go slack and lose the position you were at - it still turns very slowly.. good positive hold ( in a horizontal position ).

Colours unnecessary. Degree scale so small as to be pointless.
Lightweight only. Ball very small. Fitted to Manfrotto 243 window clamp.

This is an excellent piece of kit. However, the camera plate screw is just too short! The plate came loose far too easily when adjusting the camera angle hence four stars. Replace the screw with a standard thread length and you have a five star tripod ball head.
