The Benro GH2 Gimbal head is a heavy-duty gimbal tripod head designed for use with large super telephoto lenses. This is an updated design of the Induro GHB2, which we also rent here. Key features include:
Supertelephoto support
Weightless movement when balanced
360° panoramic scale; Fluid pan and tilt
Four-inch Acra-Swiss plate included
Supertelephoto Support. While many ballheads are rated to support the physical weight of any super telephoto lens, it’s how the weight spread out that ballheads have issues with. The gimbal head is designed to better support these oversized heavy beasts.
Weightless Movement. When properly balanced, the GHB2 makes the camera and lens seem almost weightless, with vertical and horizontal tracking of moving objects becoming relatively simple.
Fluid Pan & Tilt. With a 360º pan and +90°/-90° tilt range, you can pretty much shoot in any position, just as long as the tripod legs that’s supporting your setup offers a wide stance and high weight capacity.
Arca-Swiss Type Quick Release Plate. Like most others, the GH2 Gimbal uses the Arca Swiss-type standard quick-release plates. This rental includes one Benro PL-100 four-inch lens plate. If you need additional size lens plates, we carry four different sizes for rent separately.
Built Tough. Constructed from aluminum, the GH2 itself is very sturdy. It’s 9.5 inches in height and tips the scales at 3.0 pounds. It features oversized lock knobs that are glove-friendly, and the 2.2-inch wide base that’s 3/8"-16 threaded takes advantage of the many tripod systems that offer a large platform.
