Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Best there is for mirrorless

I've been using PMG full-size Katana, 42mm leg tripod, SS2 strap adapters, and every big lens I have has of their PX6 arca plates on it. I continued using the big Katana when I switched to Sony mirrorless until recently when I got the Katana Jr. LOVE IT! I use it on tripod or an o monopod. I can actually put the Jr on monopod between my car door and seat and use the gimbal with gripped camera and 200-600 out the driver's window. It is light carries easy. Movement is smooth, top notch quality made in the USA. Worth every penny! Mine is red, but like my full-size, I got a camp Lenscoat cover for it.
