The engineers over at Jobu Design out of Canada have really out done themselves with their latest round of upgrades. I consider them to be the best gimbal head on the market today. If you’re looking for a gimbal head that’s the perfect balance between weight and support for your longer lenses this is a gimbal head that should be at the top of your shopping list.
Here's a list of features that I say make it the best tripod head available today:
- Needle bearings making panning movement effortless
- Adjustable swing arm allows for necessary adjustments on the vertical plane as an easy switch to landscape photography
- Arca-Swiss clamp included
- Anti-creeping lock down capability so you can focus on a static subject
- Uber stiff swing arm to reduce vibration across the longer lenses
This head is rated for a maximum payload of 25 lbs meaning it can easily support your Nikon 600mm lens or Nikon 800mm lens when it is released.
If you’re currently using a ball head for your 300mm or longer lens or you're shopping for a gimbal head it is well worth your time to check out the video review below where I show the Jobu Design HD3 tripod head in action and just how easy it is to maneuver my Nikon D800 and Nikon 600mm lens combo.
As an added bonus, at time of purchase enter or mention the code “wolvesonly” and you’ll receive a 15% discount.
it really is to maneuver our Nikon D800 in addition to Nikon 600mm zoom lens appliance.
