Capture fluid action shots using the Draco Broadcast AFi 3-Axis Gimbal for GoPro HERO 3/4/5from Draco Broadcast. Compatible with the GoPro HERO 3, 3+, 4, and 5, as well as with other sport cameras, this gimbal stabilizes your video on all three axes—yaw, pitch, and roll. Modes can be switched on the fly to customize the gimbal's effect, making your camera follow your every move smoothly while locking one or more axes. There is also an inverting mode for shots that call for ultra-low vantage points. The gimbal runs on two 18350 rechargeable batteries, and comes with a 1/4"-20 bottom thread for easy attachment to an extension pole (available separately) or other gear.

Q: 1. Is this truly a "stabilized" gimbal? The description and video are not very definitive in this respect.

A: Yes, the Draco Broadcast AFi V5 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal will actively stabilize smartphones ranging from 3.5 to 5.5".

Q: 2. I will be using this gimbal with a Sigma 150-600 tele lens. Do I need to get an extra long plate?

A: Yes, I did 4 from B&H, works great!

Q: 3. will this work with a Canon 7D MK II WITH a battery grip installed?

A: A Canon 7D Mark II with a battery grip installed can be used with this gimbal head. However, the head is really meant to hold a long telephoto lens with a tripod ring attached to that type of camera.

Q: 4. Does this Gimbal head NOT come with a plate?

A: The Jobu gimbal does not come with a plate. You need to purchase the correct plate length for the lens you will mount on the gimbal.

Q: 5. I have the 1st generation Tamron 150-600 and am having difficulty identifying what accessory foot, or plate (are they the same thing? this is new territory for me), is ideal to make it compatible with the Jobu Jr. 3 - the B&H guy was not reassuringly confident in his answers. Thanks for your help!

A: Hi V.C.: The foot is the base of the lens collar that typically comes attached to a lens of that size. I have a Sigma 150-600 and am not familiar with the Tamron, but expect that they are very similar lenses. The foot should have a standard threaded hole. You need to buy the mounting plate that attaches to the foot of the collar through the standard hole. Any arca-Swiss type mounting plate will do. I recommend a plate 2 inches longer than the foot (measured front to back of the lens). That will give you some room to slide the lens back and forth for better balance on the gimbel head. I purchased the Jobu 7 inch. A little pricey for what it is, but it works great.

Q: 6. It says that you need an Arca-Swiss plate to use with it. I will be using an Oben ac-1410 tripod. Can you refer me to what plate would be best to order?

A: Depending on the telephoto lens that you are using, different lengths of Arca-Swiss plates will be appropriate to attach. The following chart will show you which Wimberly (another maker of gimbal heads that use Arca-Swiss releases) plate will support your lens best. Just type in the model number of the specific plate into our search bar. (example: P10 plate)http://bhpho.to/1aJndNaorClick the link in the description of this product:B&H # WITHQRQ ? Mfr # WH-200

Q: 7. I did not notice in the description, but is this water resistant/proof?

Q: 8. Does this have cables for the Sony A7 III?
