Description

If your lens arsenal contains a monster-sized, back-breaking heavy lens then you need a support that is up to the task of holding it properly and safely without adding a lot more weight to your backpack. Jobu Design's Heavy Duty BWG mounts your 400mm F2.8, 500mm F4, 600mm F4 or 300-800mm lens quickly and securely.

By re-orienting the mounting clamp to a horizontal position (rather than vertical sidemount) you allow a much easier way of installing the lens, and you remove all the shear stress from the lens-collar on your telephoto lens.

Features

NEW HORIZTONAL MOUNT ARM! The newest version the horizontal mount is CNC machined for lightness, yet retains it high strength.
A fully retained quick-turn knob allows infinite balance position adjustment and steadfast clamping.
Ergonomically designed, indestructible, thermoplastic clamping knobs.
These feature a wide grip and smooth contours that are easy on the hands.
The high-profile 6-lobe design allows for ease of use and strong clamping, even withgloves on (Hey, we're Canadian, we KNOW about cold weather shooting)
NOW LIGHTER! 3lb 5oz Total Weight. Keeps your backpack light for travelling.
All weather design. From the hard powder-coated support arm, to the stainless steel shafts, to the black anodized clamp, the finish will endure the worst a photographer can throw at it.
Light weight yet High Strength. Strength and weight are optimized so that the BWG can carry a monster 600 F4 lens, yet be light enough to carry to shooting locations without undue stress on your shoulders.
Maintenance free design. The BWG requires no maintenance for the life of the product. Nylon bushings will never wear out, and heavy-duty waterproof grease isused to create the silky-smooth operation
The Black Widow Gimbal is Easy to mount to your tripod. You will be up and running in a few minutes of opening the box.
New IMPROVED QR Clamp! The newest version of our CNC-machined clamp allows improved one-handed loading of the Black Widow with automatically opening jaws* (* Extra Long clamp available soon at slightly higher cost.)
NEW HORIZONTAL LOCKOUT KNOB! The horizontal tilt motion can now be locked out for complete safety. Whether for transporting over your shoulder, or for changing cameras without removing your lens, the NEW lockout knob will stop the head from moving.
