Gimbal Head Recommendations

[gerald_wallace]

<p>I'm hoping to receive advice/recommendations on what model/brand name gimbal head would be suitable for use on my Gitzo 5531 tripod when using 500mm - 800mm lens. (I don't own a 800mm lens but there's always the possibility).<br>

My wife has the Sirui PH-20 gimbal head for use with her Canon 600mm series II lens and she is satisfied (no complaints)with the head. Now, I'm looking for a similar gimbal head to support my Canon 500mm series (I) lens ( both lenses weight about the same). Since I'm a "thrifty" person I was hoping there may be available a gimbal head just as good costing at or less than $500 dollars - a good value product.<br>

I would appreciate any recommendations.</p>

<p>I have the Manfrotto 393 head and have found it superb for my own purposes.<br /> Review at http://www.nikonians.org/reviews?alias=manfrotto393-bogen3421-lens-support <br /> It's usually available on eBay or from B&H or Adorama for less than half your $500 maximum price.<img

<p>Another vote for the 393. It's big and heavy, but then so is my 500mm f/4. I've no idea why the Manfrotto pictures have the lens hanging under the support - I just sit mine in the cradle (in the orientation of JDM's second image). It's probably not quite as flexible as a true gimbal head (particularly there are discrete lens heights), but it's easily balanced enough to stay where I've left it and let it move with a fingertip. If you spend a lot of time flying with big lenses, I'd look at something else (Triopo make a cheapish one, though I've not seen it in person), but if the weight of the head isn't an issue then I don't have any complaints with the 393. Except that it's not Arca mount, of course.</p>

<p>Gentlemen (JDM and Andrew),<br>

First, thanks for your response.<br>

I have looked at the head (Manfrotto 393) you recommend and it looks like it would satisfy my requirements and it's offered at a great (affordable) price. The only remaining issues are: the weight of the head (airline size and weight issues) and an internal issue (my wife wants me to get the same head I got her).<br>

At this time, I'm not sure what I will decide to do but, I want to thank you both for taking the time to offer your response and practical recommendations.</p>

 

[Andrew Garrard]

<p>Gerald: Glad to help, even if we didn't! There's something to be said for familiarity and the ability to share accessories. (I also envy you having a spouse who would find a use for a gimbal head - my wife has not made great use of the available camera kit so far, maybe excluding the GoPro I got her for diving.)<br />

<br />

Don't let me scare you off too much with the 393 - it's not <i>that</i> heavy - but it <i>is</i> i big lump of metal. I've never used a Wimberley, but I imagine that their single-sided arrangement might be lighter and certainly smaller. I've also heard it argued that the side prongs of the 393 might get in the way of the focus or (for, I guess, a 200-400 or 300-800) the zoom ring, but I've not had major problems with my manual focus 500mm, so it probably depends on the design. You've got access to the whole top of the lens, after all. Good luck, whatever you get.</p>

[JDMvW]

<p>BTW, I sling my lens on the Manfroto 393 both 'up' and 'down' - there is a difference in freedom of movement between the two ways of mounting. Works well both ways. The 'up' or 'over' mount will allow greater depression of the front of the lens.</p>

<p>The mounting plate is removable and adjustable so you can center the lens weight.</p>

[Andrew Garrard]

<p>JDM: Slightly off topic, but could you clarify what you mean by depression and what freedom of movement difference you see? I may be missing something in my use, but since the suspended hoop doesn't foul the base I've not noticed a difference - but I may be doing something wrong!</p>

[JDMvW]

<p>Sometimes you write and post something, and then afterwards you just realize that it doesn't really make any difference in the vast majority of cases. I had just looked up to see if there were Youtube reviews, and somewhere saw something about being limited in the downward depression of the lens, but that doesn't happen on a 35mm or APS-C lens/camera unless there are projections that interfere with, for example, flipping the camera 180 degrees without unmounting from over to under.<br>

Pay no attention to the man in the booth....</p>

<p>Gerald,<br>

I've used the Manfrotto 393, but recently changed to the Induro GHB-2, a design similar to the Wimberley and the Sirui you mention. </p>

<p>Manfrotto Advantage:</p>

<ul>

<li>Price. It is far cheaper than any of the other options.</li>

</ul>

<p>Manfrotto disadvantages:</p>

<ul>

<li>Bulk. I have always kept my tripod with the gimbal mounted in the trunk of my car, and the 393 just takes up more space than my Induro.</li>

<li>Limited Adjustment. You can't get all lenses to pivot on their horizontal axis, which you need to really balance the lens. There are only 3 or 4 sets of holes to position the pivoting yoke in. If you're lucky, it'll line up well with your lens. It didn't with my 100-400.</li>

<li>Manfrotto-proprietary QR mount and plate. The 393 uses Manfrotto's Q5 Quick Release, not any type of Arca-Swiss plate. The plate is big and bulky, and, while it does its job just fine, it is very uncomfortable when handholding the camera/lens and supporting the lens via the tripod foot/plate. The plate and clamp is not compatible with anything else.</li>

<li>Gets in the way. If you shoot birds in flight, you may run up against this. Basically, if the bird (or plane, etc.) goes over you, you are limited to the angle at which your camera-operating hand hits the structure of the head.</li>

</ul>

<p>Induro Advantages (also includes most of the other similar styles like the Sirui...)</p>

<ul>

<li>Arca-Swiss compatible clamp. This allows use of a small and thin Arca-Swiss compatible plate on the lens, which is secure, and also a LOT more comfortable if you need/want to handhold the lens. And, you can use almost any company's lens plates.</li>

<li>Infinite adjustment. You can get any lens to balance properly on this style head, because you can set the pivot to be exactly perpendicular to the lens' long axis. If the lens is balanced properly, it will stay anywhere you position it without needing to lock the clamps.</li>

<li>Doesn't get in the way. Most times you see these heads set up with a camera, the head actually is to the left of the camera from the photographer's perspective. This leaves your right hand free and unobstructed to follow those birds in flight and operate the camera at the same time. With my 7D, grip and 100-400 I can go past vertical. Other lenses may end up with the camera hitting the tripod, or head base, but your hand will never get caught up in the gimbal head.</li>

<li>Less bulk. While it couldn't be called unobtrusive, having only one "arm" does make it a bit more compact in the trunk of my car.</li>

</ul>

<p>Induro disadvantage:</p>

<ul>

<li>Price. It is more than double the cost of the Manfrotto, but after using both, I very much prefer the Induro. It is still cheaper than the class leaders like the Wimberly, almost 1/3 less.</li>

</ul>

<p>As for weight, I honestly can't see much difference between my Induro or the Manfrotto. There may be some lighter - certainly the "side loading" heads would be lighter - but I'm thinking you're only talking about a few ounces here or there, and not any significant difference among units with similar design. Though I do note the Sirui claims to be carbon fiber for the main support arm.</p>

<p>Also, I would think having two of the same head in the household solves a lot of issues, like what happens if the wrong tripod or head is in the trunk. The QR system isn't compatible, and I am not sure the Manfrotto can be fitted with an Arca-Swiss clamp easily. So if you're out in one place with her tripod, and she's someplace else with your tripod...</p>
