    Product Description

    The Benro GH2 Gimbal Head is a specialized tripod head designed for photographers who want comfort, stability and smooth control with their heavier zoom lenses. This is something that you just can’t get with the standard ball head. The GH2 allows you to rotate your lens around its center of gravity enabling easy manipulation of large lenses up to 600mm. If its sport or wildlife photography, maneuverability and speed are two very important factors which the Benro GH2 supports, allowing photographers to capture those all important unpredictable moments. It comes with a QR plate which can be quickly removed by turning the knob on the side. The lens is set flat when using the GH-2, whereas a lens attached to the GH-1 is in an upright position. The GH2 is compatible with the international-style QR plates such as the Arca Swiss and the Benro PL Series special lens plates.

    Excellent quality and value
    I am an amateur/Enthusiast photographer and I did a lot of searching and research before purchasing this Benro GH2 gimbal head. The order arrived on time and was well packaged and in my opinion is of excellent quality material, engineering and build quality. As an amateur I couldn't justify spending $600 or more for a gimbal head and I wanted one for wildlife shots with a large telephoto lens. This hit my radar and after careful consideration I decided to go with it. I have never owned or used a gimbal head and after properly setting this up I am very pleased with it. As with some other reviews, I find the "panning" a little tight, but it doesn't really impact the performance or use and I expect it to loosen as I use it. It is rock solid with no wiggle or movement. Only time will tell as to longevity and durability, but I expect to use and enjoy this for many, many years.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2018
    Benro has done an excellent job at this Gimbal Head!

    First off, I use this with my Induro CLT 203 Tripod. With a Canon 7d MK II and Canon 5d MK IV with a Canon 500mm f/4 Prime lens.

    The build quality is very well done. Zero play in any of the parts when locked down. When Un-locked, everything is very smooth and fluid. I cannot find anything that I would change with this Gimbal.

    While transporting my 500mm lens, This gimbal does not move at all. It only takes a slight turn of the knobs to lock the arm in place. Even when it's over my shoulder.

    I find it very easy to carry, and with 7+k hanging on it, You need trust in your equipment.

    Highly recommend this product to anyone that has a telephoto lens. And that's looking for something you can trust carrying several thousands of dollars on.

    I recently had this photo shared on Benro's page. I trust it enough to have my name on it!
