Movo GH800 MKII Carbon Fiber Professional Gimbal Tripod Head with Long and Short Arca-Swiss Quick-Release Plates - for Outdoor Bird/Wildlife Photography

This gimbal head has changed my sports photography.The Movo GH800 is nearly perfect for what I needed. It has given me more free range of motion while using a monopod, nearly matching the freedom of movement of handheld photography when not using a monopod.Pros:* The motion is very smooth both horizontal and vertical.* The head balances very easily with the correct weight distribution. I also appreciate that it comes with a foot extender for the camera/lens to allow getting the correct placement if the lens/camera built in mounts don't quite line up as needed.* All the screw points to tighten and loosen the head movement are easily accessible and of a large enough size that gripping them is easy and provides enough leverage to get the screw tight.Cons:* The screws allow some level of specific adjustment to get the head to spin freely while also holding firm where desired, but I would have liked them to be a bit more refined so it could allow more precise setting. As is, it works it just could have been a bit more refined.* It is a little heavy, but honestly I prefer that as it makes it feel more secure and able to hold a larger lens and camera. That's a lot of money to trust to the gimbal head.Overall this is a fantastic purchase and I just wish I had made it sooner. 9/10 would recommend.

K&F Concept 78” tripodMovo GH 800 MKIINikon 200-500 f5.6I am more than pleased. Just invested in the Nikon long lens, and was kind of thinking that I could hand hold at all times. WRONG. But as a weekend warrior, I can’t really justify the $ for the Wimberley league. Prior to purchasing, my biggest concern was wobble & smoothness of motion. I can happily report that I am pleasantly surprised on both accounts. Zero wobble, and very fluid and consistent motion on both axes. I do agree somewhat with other reviews, that the tension adjustments are a bit abrupt. But I also like the fact that the tension screws only require minor adjustments. Wide open, the motion seems flawless to me, does not spin wildly or out of control, but I can control the camera with one finger. And I really did notice how the horizontal & vertical both respond exactly the same. Very happy with this purchase.

Having mad the decision to spend good money on a high end photography item, i made my purchase through Amazon.Item that I received was 2nd hand, in non original packaging and missing 2 components.Amazon offered no option but to return for credit so I contacted Movo directly and while they agreed packing was incorrect, items were missing and it dis look 2nd hand, they were unable to help me.Will not be buying from Movo again. Amazon experience was the worst online shopping experience ever.

It’s pretty good for what it is and the price. Not a bad investment. AirPort thinks It’sa gun every time though.

If you have tried to hand-hold a large telephoto lens, you know how difficult that is. I tried using my Arca Swiss ball-head and my Acratech head, but trying to tighten the controls is impossible. So I decided it was time for a gimbal head. I researched several different models and read the reviews, and decided to to the MOVO gimbal head. I am very pleased and would recommend this product. I mounted it over my Acratech leveling base, and quickly had it ready to go. Now I can track anything easily with the lens perfectly balanced.I had read reviews about not being able to tighten the vertical and horizontal controls but I have not experienced any problems. I am totally satisfied with my purchase.

Never had a gimbal before so hard to compare but this one appears well made and will get the job done.

Product was better than described… Packed very well and delivered very quickly.. I do recommend the seller and look forward to doing business with you again.

Can't blame Movo, but I received a clearly used unit. But I decided to keep it.The mount screw feels gritty. You can't adjust tension, so you can't leave it adjusted and move it easily. But if you want to leave it locked in place, it's fine.
