Correct tension is easy to achieve with the large-circumference knobs which are rubber-coated and feel very well made. Ich hatte lange überlegt und im Netz recherchiert und dann entschieden: Lieber etwas mehr investieren und solide Qualität bekommen als für ein paar Euro irgendein Billigteil welches dann nur Ärger bereitet, denn billig und Qualität schließen sich gegenseitig aus, zumindest nach meiner Überzeugung! All lenses/cameras need to be balanced on the head, so watch one of the videos on You Tube on how to do that - makes a big difference - that's where the benefit of a gimbal head lies. A vertical scale and a 360° panoramic scale allow for easy adjustments and repeatable pans, while a large pivot tension knob enables smooth tilts. I was initially wary about Benro having heard less than complimentary reports about their GH1 head, and was prepared to shell out for a wimberley, but I found enough positive reviews about this updated version to convince myself to take a gamble.

Other features include separate adjustments for pans and tilts, with built-in drag adjustment to improve stability and operation, and a pan scale and bubble level for added precision.

Not mentioned in the instructions is the vertical arm can be move upward so the lens is level with the top right locking knob. The GH2 is also compatible with Arca Swiss style quick release plates and Benro PL series special lens plates.

An arca-type compatible clamp allows for quick attachment and release of your camera and lens and also a PL100 quick release plate is included. The mechanism on Benro Gimbal heads operates on the principal of manipulating the lens using its own centre of gravity. The lens is set flat when using the GH-2, whereas a lens attached to the GH-1 is in an upright position. This Gimbal comes with a PL 100 plate that, unlike the “normal” Benro PU 100 plate, does not have rubbers on the top surface to reduce potential lens twisting issues.To me the whole point of a Gimbal, unlike often with a tripod head, is not to tightly lock everything down.
