Benro GH3

Benro Gimbal heads have been developed to allow the user to manipulate heavier cameras with large telephoto lenses more comfortably than with a standard tripod head.

Speed, stability and manoeuvrability are especially important features when using long and heavy telephoto lenses where a steady camera platform combined with quick smooth action controls is essential to insure sharp imaging. This is especially important in long-distance sports and wildlife photography. The mechanism on Benro Gimbal heads operates on the principal of manipulating the lens using its own center of gravity. Using this principal it enables the photographer to operate high magnification telephoto lenses very effectively.

The GH3 is a specialized tripod head which enables the user to manipulate large lenses quickly and easily. Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, it is easy and comfortable to use, lightweight and easy to pack. The head is based on the design of the GH2 but with the advantage that it can be separated down to its component parts for the added convenience of packing and carrying. The head features full horizontal angle adjustment and precise 360-degree pan movement. Extreme tilt adjustments can be achieved effortlessly assisted by the drag control on the tilt locking mechanism which also features a safety lock. The GH3 head is compatible with Universal Arca Swiss QR systems and Benro PL lens plates.
