The E-Image Two-Stage Aluminum Tripod GH03 Head Dolly Kitsupports cameras and accessories weighing up to 11 pounds. The head and legs feature a 75mm ball/bowl, which provides a wide platform. The legs are made from aluminum and feature three sections with mono-lock leg locks. The mono-lock design allows you to lock and unlock each leg section using only one rotating locking lever. The tripod legs are height-adjustable from 26 to 61".

The GH03 head features an Easy Lock baseplate system that combines the balance adjustment of a sliding baseplate with the ease of a quick release system. Pan drag and counterbalance are both fixed, while tilt drag is adjustable via a dial on the side of the head. The head features a built in 1/4"-20 accessory socket for available monitor support arms or other accessory items. A padded carry bag with a shoulder strap is included.

The Easy Lock baseplate provides the balance adjustment range associated with a sliding balance plate while combining the ease of a quick release, as you can pop the camera (on the Easy Lock plate) into the top of the fluid head without having to support the camera while lining up the plate with the head. Easy to pop in, it stays secure until you release it, and you maintain the sliding balance adjustments.

The mono-lock design allows you to lock and unlock the three sections of each leg using only one locking lever. The rotating lever provides a robust clamp mechanism that secures the legs and prevents them from slipping once locked. The single lever on each leg allows you to quickly lock the leg height without having to use two levers, making for a quicker workflow and sparing you from bending down to open a bottom leg lock.

The legs feature dual-spiked feet that provide solid purchase in soft surfaces when the legs are spread wide or extended to full height.

The rubber feet attach to the spiked feet for working on delicate or hard surfaces.

The Easy Lock camera plate features a guided sled with a locating pin, and supports both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera tie-down screws (included).

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this tripod hold well a Konova K7 Slider (47.2 ) with a 5d mark iii?

A: Gian, correct. The legs can support much more, it's just the head that is limiting for your set up. A more robust head would definitely help.

Q: 2. Would this hold a Varizoom Solo Jib carbon fiber (7 pounds) with a 5dmark 111 and a 24-105 f4l lense (both together weight around almost 4 pounds)? I guess even if it hold them I will not be able to use a counterweight balanco ?

A: In answer to the question, its somewhat less what the maximum weight capacity is in this case, and more about stability. Although the tripod kit will probably hold the load (based on the max limit), that is with a load applied at the tripod center (ie. its center of gravity). Using a job, the load will be applie to the extremeties (much like a see-saw) which could lead to an unstable situation. My advise is to use a much heavier-duty tripod for assurance, and be sure to use sand bags, or another stabilization method to make sure you do not loose control of the jib.
