Opteka GH1 Pro Heavy Duty Metal Gimbal Head (Supports up to 30lbs) review

Opteka GH1 Pro Heavy Duty Metal 

Gimbal Head (Supports up to 30lbs)

The Opteka GH1 Pro Heavy Duty Metal Gimbal Head (Supports up to 30lbs) from Opteka is professional heavy-duty gimbal head that will support any camera and lens. The Opteka GH1 Pro Heavy Duty Metal Gimbal Head (Supports up to 30lbs) is lighter and stronger than any other gimbal heads on the market, with a custom designed stiffer swing arm, which is CNC-machined out of solid aluminum.

The Opteka GH1 Pro Heavy Duty Metal Gimbal Head (Supports up to 30lbs) is rated to support over 30 lbs - essentially, the longest telephoto lens you can find (800mm-plus) will be well-served by this silky-smooth gimbal. The GH1 gimbal head features a horizontal adjustable mounting element with quick release, which is much easier for installing the lens and serves to avoid the shear stress on the lens collar that side-mounting introduces.

Cutting-Edge Design

The Opteka GH1 Pro Heavy Duty Metal Gimbal Head (Supports up to 30lbs) was completely designed to reduce weight and improve stiffness and overall strength. It can support 30 lb and only weighs 2.7 lb

Ball Bearings

Full ball-bearing support in tilt axis for zero static or dynamic friction, resulting in 100% smooth movement.

Quick-Release System

The quick-release base allows the head to be used with any QR standard plates. Plate is included which has a 1/4" screw thread for the camera.

Horizontal Mount with Lockout Knob

A fully retained quick-turn knob allows infinite balance position adjustment and steadfast clamping.

Ergonomically Designed Knobs

Soft-touch rubberized knobs offer strong clamping and easy use with bare or gloved hands especially when wet.

All-Weather Design

From the hard powder-coated support arm that is also rubberized, to the stainless steel shafts, to the black anodized clamp, the finish will endure the worst a photographer can throw at it.
