I took it out for a two hour seaside session and was overly pleased by the ease, quality, and performance of the gimbal. A few weeks prior I was photographing surfers and some wildlife. I decided to purchase a gimbal after holding a DSLR and 600mm lens following that session. The gimbal easily holds my Canon 90D + Sigma 150-600mm lens. The quick release knobs, made from aluminum, are easy to operate with small rotations for hold release . The horizontal and vertical rotation operation is smooth. During my research I noticed that there isn't much difference in weight between carbon fiber and aluminum gimbals, yet the weight of the Movo gimbal is good. The Arca-Swiss plate did come loose from the tripod collar on one occasion, requiring that I tighten the plate bolt to the collar even more. So, my first experience was great. Hand fatigue gone. Greatly improved stabilization. Allowed me to photograph some long distance subjects with ease. Review: Works fine, excellent value - I already have a couple of gimbal heads for use with telephoto lenses, but I had a problem using them with my Olympus OM-D-E1X body, which has a built-in, nonremovable battery grip. Unless the gimbals with a level swing-arm are set with the cradle very high up, the bottom of the camera body hits the side of the gimbal head, restricting movement. So I thought that in this case, a side-mounting gimbal would work better. This turned out to be true. The MOVO side-mount gimbal is a real bargain. It is made with carbon fiber and the controls are quite adequately sturdy for my purposes (I have no idea whether they would withstand a trip to the frozen Arctic or other rough uses). Once the lens is balanced properly, the camera-lens combination operates in the "weightless" manner that has made gimbal heads all the rage with telephoto photographers. The only very slight, nitpicky quibble I have is that I would have preferred that the tension level of the controls tend toward a bit tighter. I like my gimbal to move freely but with some tension, and I have be very careful to set the tightness just so before I use the unit. Just a small thing. Overall, this gimbal head is an amazing bargain. For someone looking for an inexpensive but solid gimbal head, this might be what you want, PROVIDED the side-mount design is ok with you. ## Features - Heavy Duty Carbon Fiber - Supports 30+ LBS - Vertical Mounting System - Ideal for long telephoto lenses or shooting in portrait orientation - Gimbal style head with swing arm with fluid panning and tilting - Aluminum Arca-swiss plate assembly - 1 Year Movo Warranty with Fast & Friendly Support ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XKMZMK1 | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #14,195 in Camera Mounts & Clamps | | Brand | Movo | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camera | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (59) | | Folded Size | 5.9 inches (w) x 5.9 inches (h) x 9.1 inches (l) | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9.1"D x 5.9"W x 9.1"H | | Item Weight | 2.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Movo | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 14.97 Kilograms | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Model Name | GH600 | | UPC | 817711020407 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Movo - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Camera - **Folded Size:** 5.9 inches (w) x 5.9 inches (h) x 9.1 inches (l) - **Item Weight:** 2.4 Pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 9.1"D x 5.9"W x 9.1"H - **UPC:** 817711020407 ## Images ![Movo GH600 Vertical, Portrait Mount Carbon Fiber Gimbal Tripod Head with Arca-Swiss Quick-Release Plate - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816XKW2T6WL.jpg) ![Movo GH600 Vertical, Portrait Mount Carbon Fiber Gimbal Tripod Head with Arca-Swiss Quick-Release Plate - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RKdH9VnSL.jpg) ![Movo GH600 Vertical, Portrait Mount Carbon Fiber Gimbal Tripod Head with Arca-Swiss Quick-Release Plate - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vR5BQ7I+L.jpg) ![Movo GH600 Vertical, Portrait Mount Carbon Fiber Gimbal Tripod Head with Arca-Swiss Quick-Release Plate - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81wPqajCxQL.jpg) ![Movo GH600 Vertical, Portrait Mount Carbon Fiber Gimbal Tripod Head with Arca-Swiss Quick-Release Plate - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FlNXJsbML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it suitable in both portrait and landscape orientation ?** A: The correct answer to your question: The orientation of arca swiss mount and plat is fixed and unchanged (Portrait mode). However this head is to be used with very long, heavy super telelenses, and most, if not all of them have a rotation mechanism at the point of collar and lens body junction. That is why you can rotate to Landscape or portrait mode or anything in between, as you desire. This is the only way these kinds of gimbal heads are offered and is the correct and standard of industry s.a. you see at the highest grade and priced products manufactured s.a. Wimberely whom I guess were the first to design it (Though I could be wrong on this). Long story short: If you have a very long super tele lens, you can't find a better gimbal head that allows you to keep your gear (Camera + Lens) right at the center of gravity, thus freely moving without any drag or gravity effect (Front or rare heavy), to any side. Don't forget that you also additionally need a long enough-for-your-lens Arca swiss plat, to achieve this center of gravity adjustment, when your camera body adds a certain weight, with or without a power pack, etc. This is a must for such users. For a usual or casual user, needing a steady head for a regular camera + lens, there are numerous other smaller models. **Q: Is this good for nikon 200m-500m?** A: I don't know specifically about this Nikon Lens - as I am a Canon user - but it works amazingly well with my Canon 100-400mm II Lens - getting some great wildlife photos with this combo. **Q: What is the difference between the gh600 and the gh800 (other than the price)? the specs for both seem the same.** A: The GH600 has a vertical/portrait mount, while the GH800 uses a clamp to provide a horizontal/landscape mount. **Q: Is it standard Arca-swiss dimensions so that I can use other brand lens plates and lightweight-camera L-brackets?** A: It comes with a 120mm Arca Swiss plate, but I use the Arca plate I already had on my canon 100-400mm ll lens without problems and with the sunwayfoto L bracket on my Canon 7d2 so based on my experience I would say it should work with other std Arca Swiss plates and brackets. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Quality and Performance *by R***T on March 1, 2020* This is my first Movo product and it doesn't disappoint.
