K&F Concept 360 Degree Panoramic Aluminium Tripod Head Standard Quick Plate 1/4 Inch and Bubble Level, Lifting Range 70 mm, Load 20 kg for DSLR DSLR Camera

It works as it should.

Bonne surprise ! Ce support est vraiment de très belle facture. Le montage et l’équilibrage se font facilement, les rotations sont parfaitement fluide. Il est relativement lourd mais on sent qu'il est robuste, ce qui est plutôt rassurant. A voir dans la durée, mais on a là un produit avec un excellent rapport qualité/prix. Ce support est d'entrée proposé à un prix imbattable, mais ce prix peu varier de plusieurs dizaines d'euros. En étant patient et vigilant, on peut l’acquérir pour moins de 100€

The K&F Concept 360-degree Gimbal Head is a robust, heavy-duty solution engineered for photographers who require uncompromising stability and fluid tracking. Built to handle substantial payloads, this head is designed to integrate seamlessly with professional tripod systems, providing a secure foundation for high-end, often heavier, photography equipment. Exceptional Stability and Security Precision Engineering: This gimbal offers a "lock-and-forget" level of security. It effortlessly supports heavy professional configurations—such as a Sony A7V paired with a Sigma 150-600mm—maintaining precise positioning at any angle from level horizons to 90-degree vertical tilts. The high-weight locking mechanism is designed for absolute reliability. It provides the peace of mind necessary to step away from high-value investments (upwards of $5,000) with full confidence in the equipment’s structural integrity. Despite its rugged build, the head delivers ultra-smooth 360-degree panning and tilting, allowing for effortless tracking of fast-moving subjects. Comprehensive Hardware: The package includes a thoughtful assortment of alternative locking knobs and a universal adapter compatible with many professional support systems. While the unit possesses a substantial physical profile, this weight is a deliberate trade-off for superior durability. In the field, the added mass translates directly into increased vibration dampening and long-term reliability. Professional Assessment For photographers prioritizing stability and gear safety over lightweight portability, this gimbal is an exemplary choice. It represents a 10/10 recommendation for those seeking a heavy-duty, professional-grade mounting solution that outperforms its price point.

Purchased this a while ago now and it’s not let me down. Very sturdy, easy to use and great value for the money.

I've gone out shooting birds with it a few times now, and I must say it's better than I expected when I ordered it. It's smooth and easy to adjust the balance of your lens on it, and there's a fair bit of leeway when balancing(will hold it's position very well, just got to not fully loosen the knobs). And I was worried my telephoto lens would be awkward, but it doesn't seem to need rebalancing unless you go all the way in to out(or the like). For video... Eh, I might just have not gotten the hang of it yet. I think you could get decent videos in a pinch, but might want to look at a pan/tilt head specifically for that. But if you're mainly doing stills, I think it's good enough for important moments(much better than a ball head at any rate). It is big, but it kind of has to be, and it's sturdy which also means it's rather heavy(but not ridiculously so). The worst thing is it being a bit awkward to attach to a bag(keeps bonking me on the head lol), so you might want to keep that in mind. Could always remove the head, but if you're shooting on the fly, that's kind of not an option. Probably depends on your bag, though; I have quite a small day pack I use for hiking around and it's not so bad - just have to be aware of it sticking out. Would definitely recommend it 👍 Sure beats $900 for a tripod head. Also, if you happen to have a Sigma telephoto(150-600), be aware that the plate that comes attached is just a *tiny* bit too small for the holder on the head. It will seem like it's locked in when it's not, and start to slide out as you tilt upward. I wouldn't say it's a con because you can just add the plate that comes with it, but something, again, to be aware of.
