Used Benro GH2 Gimbal Head

Switched from a fluid head to this GH2 and the ball bearings make all the difference for smooth pans with my heavy lens. Even handling a long telephoto setup, the horizontal movement stays buttery and controlled.

Had my 600mm lens on this for a shoot and the lock knobs held rock solid even at awkward angles. Zero sag or drift after a full hour of tracking birds in flight.

It arrived in great shape for a used piece, and the panning motion is buttery smooth. I’ve got a heavy 150-600mm setup on it, and the ball bearings hold position perfectly without any drift.
