Spontaneous moments are effortlessly captured with the Gimbal Tripod Head from Proaim. Designed to support large and heavy telephoto lenses, the head is an ideal tool for wildlife, sports, and aviation photography. Its smooth 360° panning range allows you to accurately track fast-moving subjects like animals, birds, or athletes. Constructed from high-grade aluminum, the head can effortlessly support and balance large telephoto lenses weighing up to 50 lb. The included Arca-type quick release plate, 1/4"-20 screw, and 3/8"-16 screw facilitate universal camera mounting flexibility.

Supports & Balances Large, Heavy Lenses    Full 360° Panning Range    Arca-Type Quick Release Plate    Built-In Bubble Level    1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 Screws Included    High-Grade Aluminum Construction

The head pans 360° while keeping the horizon straight using the bubble level at the base of the head. It has a swing arm that tilts horizontally, giving you extreme tilt angles and effortless, balanced shots. Both panning axis and floating tilt are locked independently using pan and tilt friction knobs. The head has a 360° panoramic scale that allows easy pan adjustments.

It has an Arca-type camera plate clamp that moves up and down on a scaled slideway and is secured with a control knob. Numbered scales are located on the clamp and the swing arm so that the telephoto lens can have a repeated setup on the gimbal tripod head. Before use, ensure that the head is vertically and horizontally balanced, as the camera must be able to be adjusted at any angle while remaining in position.

The gimbal head has a double dovetail plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting screws fastened by the platform adjustment knob. It mounts directly to tripods with a 3/8"-16 threaded mount.

In addition to that, a conversion adapter for 1/4"-20 mounting is included, making it universally compatible with the tripods.
