A: Yes, the Sirui PH-10 Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head will work with the OM-1 II with a battery grip and the 150-400mm lens attached.

Q: 7. Will the PH10 Gimbal head work with a long prime lens (eg: 600mm f4)? I am not asking if it will support the weight. I want to know if the lens can be properly balanced on the gimbal head without the side of the lens rubbing on the side of the gimbal arm. Also, is the gimbal head sealed properly, in case it is used in sand and near salt water?

A: The Gimbal will work with lenses up to 33lbs. If you need to balance a longer lens than the included plate allows for you could consider getting the Oben QR-53 Long Lens Quick Release Plate (5.3") BH #OBQR53 • MFR #QR-53.

Q: 8. Are true bearings (such as needle, cone or roller bearings) used in the bottom (pan) and the top (tilt) mechanisms, or do these mechanisms instead use lubricated bushings (such as bronze or teflon)? I ask because bushings are inferior over time as they fail much more quickly.

A: The Sirui PH-10 Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head has true bearings throughout.

Q: 9. What is the maximum size of a ballhead that can go on this tripod ?

A: This tripod has an industry standard 3/8th thread on top. It will receive any traditional tripod head. We would recommend something that can support around 30lbs.

Q: 10. What is the weight without the head?

A: The weight of the Vanguard ALTA PRO 2+ 263CP Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs alone would be 3.7 lbs.
