GK Katana Professional Gimbal Tripod Head

Love it. It is a beast, but it is rock solid and as smooth as butter.

The perfect gimbal for big lens photography.

Photographing wildlife in early morning and late evening light demands rock solid support. This gimbal on a Pro Media Gear tripod is the best I’ve used in 20 years in the field. I liked it so much I bought 2 tripods (a 324 and a 424) and the Katana Pro Jr. as well so I could have a light rig for those longer hikes and a heavy duty rig for the short hikes and ultimate stability when using my 600 and 800 mm lenses. I own a few other gimbal heads, but these are the best.

There is no gimbal on the market that is built more solid than this gimbal. I highly recommend it for wildlife shooters
