Aluminum Alloy 360 Degree Panoramic Gimbal Tripod Head with 1/4'' Standard Quick Release Plate
SKU: GKF31.033D
The installation instructions document is not explicit enough. I spent many hours to find a way to fix the gimbal on my K & F concept tripod. The horizontal pivot wich allow to turn the gimbal 360* left or right is too stiff even when the on/off knob is totally open. The lubricant inside is too thick so in cold temperatures it is impossible to turn the gimbal left or right

This head is used to take panoramic photos, thanks to this head that hooks onto the tripod, it is possible to photograph landscapes with a wide angle without having a wide-angle lens.
The material of the head is very resistant and has a very nice texture. The pieces have very good grip systems and give very good support, the finishes are magnificent.
Regarding the operation, I have placed it on a tripod, and it screws quite well.
It can be moved easily.
I have been able to take magnificent photographs, recommended!

I think it compensates, by far, compared to the carbon fiber version, which only saves a few grams, and is much more expensive. It is strong and stable, and looks smooth. Neither the package nor the head itself appears the K&F

Chose this particular model for the Arca Swiss quick release function. There are a few Gimbal stabilizers on the market, but not all propose the Arca Swiss standard. I've used it in Slimbridge for at the bird sanctuary as a trial one and it balanced the camera well. I was also able to set up and quickly disengage the camera at various viewing points around the sanctuary, including practical use in the bird houses. It's a very solid product and I'm really pleased.

It seems more sophisticated to me than a classic kneecap. The tightening of the various wheels makes the adjustment very firm. In addition, the weight of 10 kilos supported is a guarantee of safety.

Great bit of kit, the Arca Swiss fitting was a bonus too.
Built very well and very sturdy, easy to use and the nobs do t stick or grind the ball joint moves freely with ease.
Well worth the money!

I have used multiple different ball heads in the past and, for the price, this is the most robust and best built ball head I've found. I use it with a 65 mm spotting scope and find it to work very well - might be a bit small for an 80 mm though.

To whom it may interest: They do not state this in the specs, but it is Arca-Swiss Standard, so suitable for other plates with 38mm (1.5") of a width.
