Gimbal Heads
A gimbal head is a camera mount that attaches to your tripod. Gimbal heads are popular in both photography and videography, and they work well with many different types of cameras. Whether you’re shooting with a DSLR, a mirrorless camera, or a Hollywood-quality cinematic camera, a gimbal head improves stability and workflow while you shoot.
Why Use a Gimbal Head?
A gimbal head is ideal for balancing the weight of a heavy camera or lens.
Short lenses are easy to carry and balance with a traditional tripod head like a ball head. But when the focal length is longer than 300mm, lenses become more unwieldy. That’s when a gimbal head is worth considering.
When you see birding or wildlife photographers out in the field, most of the time they’re using a gimbal head to support their heavy telephoto lenses. Sports photographers also rely on gimbal heads to balance the weight of their gear on the sidelines at football games and other events.
In videography, gimbal heads make it easier to maintain a stabilized shot with a long focal length lens. Some gimbal heads even contain motors to assist videographers with smooth panning.
Load Capacity for Gimbal Heads
The first step in finding your ideal gimbal head is determining the necessary maximum load capacity. If you’re working with a lightweight camera body and a smaller lens, you can select a lighter-capacity model. If you’re using a full-sized professional DSLR with a long telephoto lens, you’ll need a more robust gimbal head.
Gimbal heads are available with maximum capacities of 10lbs, 10-20lbs, 20lbs, or more. If you’re not sure which size you need, our customer service team can help direct you toward the right products to suit your camera and lenses.
Selecting a Quick Release
Quick releases are another helpful option for gimbal heads. Some models feature a quick release plate to make mounting your camera on the head fast and efficient. Other models have a slower mounting procedure for added security and balance.
Top Brands for Gimbal Heads
Quite a few brands in the photography market manufacture gimbal heads, but top brands like Benro, Custom Brackets, ProMediaGear, and Movo Photo are known for crafting well-designed, secure gimbal heads. As you shop for a new gimbal head, pay attention to customer reviews, specifications, and product descriptions to ensure the gimbal head you choose will work for your purposes and last for years to come.
