Rated 5 out of 5

I love this little adapter

I love this thing - I wouldn't use it for anything heavier than a 2.8/300, but this is a great addition to a ballhead for longer lenses.

Good lightweight alternative to gimbol head

Light and inexpensive and takes up very little room in camera bag Suitable in my opinion for lenses up to about 6 lb Use with a good sturdy ball head ( Arca Swiss)

About Jobu Design Micro Gimbal/Ballhead Adapter

The BWG-M1 Micro is the landscape and nature photographers dream companion, opening endless possibilities for fluid motion with telephoto lenses, while keeping your ballhead handy for wide-angle shots. Considering that many photographers are already armed with a good ballhead and tripod, the addition of the BWG-M1 benefits them by converting their Arca-Swiss ballhead to a fully functional gimbal head. The perfect travel companion, it easily fits into small pockets of your existing bags without adding undue weight.
