The E-Image Carbon Fiber Tripod GH10L Head Dolly Kit 100mmsupports cameras and accessories weighing up to 22 pounds. The head and legs feature a 100mm ball/bowl, which provides a wide support platform. The legs are made from carbon fiber so they are lightweight and corrosion resistant, and they feature three leg sections with mono-lock leg locks. The mono-lock design allows you to lock and unlock all the sections of each leg using only one rotating locking lever. The tripod legs support up to 133 lb of load and are adjustable from 31 to 67". The legs feature spiked feet and come with a ground level and a mid-level spreader, as well as rubber feet to cover the spiked feet.

The GH10L head features a sliding balance plate system for attaching the camera to the head. It provides seven counter balance settings (1 to 7) that help the fluid head support loads up to 22 pounds. With three fluid drag grades plus a zero setting on both pan and tilt, you can adjust the fluid head to suit your shooting style or the needs of the shot. The head features a built in 1/4"-20 accessory socket for available monitor support arms or other accessory items. It includes a padded carry bag with shoulder strap.

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 having to bend down to open a bottom leg lock to raise the legs.

The legs feature spiked feet that provide solid purchase on soft surfaces when not using the included ground level spreader.

The ground level spreader attaches to the spiked feet for working on delicate or hard surfaces.

The included mid-level spreader allows you to work on uneven terrain such as stairs or rocks while preventing the legs from flying apart. When using the mid-level spreader, you can use the included rubber feet to protect delicate surfaces from the tripod's foot spikes.

The head incorporates a push button that illuminates the built-in bubble level. An LR41 push-button battery is included and is easily replaceable.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What's the minimum weight this head will support using the counterbalance? A Panasonic GH4 with kit lens weighs about 1 kg and this seems to be too light activate the counterbalance properly. By properly I mean using the camera balanced on the head, the counterbalance at its lowest setting (1) is still too strong and causes the camera to bounce back to an original position. The purpose of the counterbalance is keep the camera at a fixed attitude when you release the pan handle--correct? I've experimented with a heavier lens on the GH4 (nearly 2 kg total weight) and the counterbalance works a lot better. Comments?

A: The head's lowest counterbalance setting as you have discovered is too strong for the load you are using it with. The only solution would be to add more weight or get a lower capacity head.

Q: 2. Could I replace the head on my Libec LX7M Tripod with this one?

Q: 3. Is the handle for the GH03 included with the flat base or the 75mm ball?

Q: 4. What is the better SIRUI BCH 20 or E IMAGE GH 6

A: Using objective data, the Sirui technically support more weight for a payload of 22lbs vs the E-Image GH06 Fluid Head, which supports a payload of 13lbs, however, the Sirui also weighs more than the E-Image at 7.1lbs weight, vs the E-Image at 4.4lbs. So if payload support is the most important feature, but the weight of the tripod head is negligible, the Sirui would be the better choice. If weight of the head itself is important for transportation, etc, the E-Image may be the better choice.

Q: 5. Does this work with jvc 850u??
