Why You’ll Love MK IV Heavy Duty Gimbal Head
Constructed with the Best Materials for the Most Heavy Duty Gimbal
- Stiffer construction; the CNC swing-arm is upgraded from previous generations with a solid billet aluminum horizontal arm offering improved vibration control for large lenses.
- Rubberized knobs are comfortable and easy on the hands, holding well under cold and wet outdoor conditions.
- Powdercoat finish on main body and black anodizing on all aluminum parts makes for long term durability.
- The included 3″ Arca-Swiss style plate is perfect for smaller lenses or camera bodies, and is great to use when practicing right away a gimbal head. Using a custom-fit plate is still recommended, but this plate is a helpful accessory.
Smooth and Seamless Lightweight Design
- Lightweight design only weighs 2 lbs, 2 oz (1,010 grams); weighs half a pound less than its previous model!
- Smooth tilt action; integrates a needle bearing system similar to the Junior 3 Deluxe Swing Arm by Jobu Design offering unparalleled smoothness in tilt axis. Even with a large load camera and lens set up, there is virtually zero friction!
- Friction levels can be easily adjusted to find the best spot for motion control using the main tilt knob.
