[0.215 lb] I ordered this plate for a second camera body. I already have two Benro ball heads, the plates for which went on the long Sigma lens and body #1.

All is now right, secure, and ready to roll!

[0.215 lb] I bought this plate to use it on long lenses when mounting on tripod. Plate doesn't require any tools and can be mounted in seconds.
Works very well with long and heavy old Nikon F-mount lenses attached to Nikon Z camera via FTZ adapter.

[0.215 lb] It proportionately matches my peak design carbon fiber travel tripod (with its universal head adapter). Good match for tripods this size!

The locking mechanisms on the gimbal head's QR plate lock knob and the vertical balance adjustable knob allow for both outward pulling of the knobs and their repositioning before tightening. This clever design allows me to pre-determine the position where the fully tightened knobs would face. I also think that option eliminates the potential of the knobs coming on the way of whatever lens one chooses to mount on the head.

The top part of the quick release plate also has two gentle "tooth-like" elements. One each at the opposite edges of one end of the plate. The rear of my lens' collar foot mates with these elements thereby providing an anti-twist feature when in use.
I am also happy with the drag on the head's vertical and panning sections; they feel just right for my Nikon D500/sigma 150-600mm (at all focal lengths) combo.

While the head's bubble level is useful for leveling the head, I prefer to mount the gimbal head on my tripod leveling base on very uneven ground; setting up my tripod and gimbal head is much faster with a leveling base in such situations.

Included accessories:
Mine came with two spare thumbscrews both with flip-up components that allow tool-free screwing plus one 3/8-16 to 1/4-20 reducer bushing. Very useful!

Extras
Its carrying capacity (given as 30 kgs) is way above the weight of any rig I'd ever need for my current shooting needs . But it does mean the head is versatile and suitable for many different rigs (in terms of weight) should need arise.

Things I wish were considered
1. A better quality carry case. Preferably a neoprene case. The drawstring case included feels cheap and may not effectively cushion the gimbal head in all carrying situations.
2. I wish the plate was partly rubberized on the top to further enhance its anti-slip feature when in use

[0.215 lb] This is a superbly machined adapter that goes from a slightly long Arca-Swiss plate to a smartphone stand very easily. I tested it with a Pixel 3a and an iPhone 8 and both fit well.

The cold shoe slot on the top is open on both ends, so be sure to tighten the mic or light down carefully if you use it. The mic can't extend too far in front of the phone or it will show up in the frame (Video Mic Pro with Rycote base is a bit too big).

[0.215 lb] Very well-made piece of kit. I am permanently mounting it on a smaller travel tripod to create a quick and dirty interview set up. The adapter has a cold shoe on top so I will mount a small but powerful light there. I will us one or two Tascam DR 10l lavalier recorders to get a really professional interview with under five pounds of equipment.

[0.215 lb] Benro quality you can’t go wrong with. Always nice to have a 2nd plate o spare.

[0.215 lb] My Sigma 150-600 is a breeze to handle with this gimbal. Birding has never been this much fun.

[0.215 lb] This is an update to my first review which I posted the day my Gimbal Head arrived and before it was field tested.

The final verdict. Still a 5-star rating and still totally awesome. Field tested both as a side mount gimbal and as a cradle mount. Both are smooth and easy to balance with a long lens. It's the best of both worlds in 1 compact easy to carry Gimbal head.

Easy to setup either and easy to carry attached to tripod with camera mounted. I'll be keeping an eye out for this going on sale again so both my tripods can have this awesome gimbal head attached.

[0.215 lb] Did the job perfectly that the part was manufactured for. Nice workmanship, very clean machining.

[0.215 lb] Great addition to my gear. Although just a small item having one attached to my big lenses and camera's at all times makes it a smoother transition between equipment choices in the field and these are rock solid.
