Effortlessly tilt, pan and swivel to follow the action with the Movo GH700 Gimbal Tripod Head. Never lose sight of your shot with this slick, accomplished gimbal system. Optimizes flexibility and your ability to respond to fast-moving subjects, unexpected movements and dynamic settings. Rated to support up to 30lbs. of gear safely.
The Movo GH700 Gimbal Tripod Head offers unquestioned mastery for photographing wildlife, sports, action scenes and more. Monopods and tripods do not offer the same range of fluid motion, quick response or ability to hold position accurately. Other gimbal systems lack effective tension controls for balance or the ability to handle heavier equipment. This unit does it all with style to spare.
The Movo GH700 Gimbal Tripod Head delivers an absolutely smooth, fluid action. Complete point-and-shoot convenience – with this setup aim your camera where you like, remove your hand and it stays exactly where you left it. Gimbal-style head with a swing arm; the Arca-Swiss clamp adjusts and includes a long quick release plate for maximum lens versatility. Durable construction performs well in the field.

The MOVO GH700 Gimbal Head is very good for the price. I have just received the item and hence I am not able to post an in-depth field review yet. But initial observations are quite good. I shall list the Pros and Cons here.Pros:- Build Quality. This is reasonably good. It appears sturdy and should be able to handle a very large/heavy lens. It can't compare to the Wemberley's, the Jobu's, the RRS', the Promedia Kintana's, etc., but this is not a slouch either.- Price: At $99.95, I am very happy. There are others which are 3 to 7 times as costly. One can't complain.- Long Arca Swiss Compatible Plate. I was using my friends Beike BK45 gimbal. The Arca Swiss compatible plate is in BK45 is barely the length of the Arca mount itself. This leaves very little room for manoeuvring the lens to balance. The GH700 plate is about 4.5" long and quite sufficient to adjust any lens.Cons:- No bearings: It is obvious that the gimbal does not have bearings inside that make super fluidic movement possible (pan and tilt) but at this price one can't complain. Even without the bearings, the motion is smooth. In fact, to some the super smooth pan (horizontal) rotation may be too irksome; some resistance is useful.Real Bad:- The screw length of the Arca Swiss plate holder is too long. IT DOES NOT HOLD AND TIGHTEN THE PLATE AT ALL. This renders the Gimbal completely useless. To fix the issue, one needs to hack off about 1/2 to 3/4 cm (0.2 to 0.3 inches) of the screw. Only then the bolt will be able to clamp the Arca Swiss plate properly and tightly. MOVO should be aware of this. The pictures below should explain. For this defect, I am docking off two points.Edit (06-Jun-2018):After posting the review, I was immediately contacted by Movo Support. How nice and proactive from them! They wanted to understand the problem and I explained to them how the Quick Release Knob screw was too long. They offered to send a new knob but I said that I would solve the problem myself. My initial thought was to hack off the excess screw length. But then I solved the problem by having a slightly oversized nut and couple of washers to fill the gap. Now the knob tightens the Arca plate nicely. I am attaching a couple of pics (last 2) on the solution that I implemented.MOVO offered a small refund for the trouble and I am very grateful. I will say that their service department is excellent and they really care about their reputation. I am adding two more stars because "I love it"!

One words sums up my thoughts on the Movo GH700 Gimbal; AWESOME! The quality and workmanship is excellent, and with my Nikon D810 w/ power grip and Nikon 80-400mm lens attached, it moves as smooth as silk. This setup is primarily used for wildlife (mostly birds and deer) and flower photography, and stability is critical. Tracking BIF (Birds In Flight) is effortless, with none of the stiffness or gritty feel I've felt from other gimbals.Getting this rig balanced on the GH700 was simple and reasonably quick; I dialed it in on my second adjustment attempt, and I made alignment marks on both the mounting plate that attaches to the tripod foot on the lens, and another mark on the baseplate the lens mounts to, to speed up remounting from one day to the next. The lens stays right where I put it, and most of the time I don't need to tighten either knob or lock it in place, unless it's windy.I could have purchased the carbon-fiber version of this gimbal, but I wanted the extra weight for stability. My tripod has carbon-fiber legs and center post, and is light enough as it is. The carbon-fiber version of this gimbal (the GH800), I don't believe, would have provided the added weight I wanted, and believe me, this setup is ROCK SOLID! I also use a wireless shutter release, just to make sure that pressing the shutter does NOT induce any additional vibration or movement. Unless I inadvertently bump one of the tripod legs with my foot or knee, pictures come out tack sharp.In case anyone is wondering what that 'thing' is between the tripod and the GH700, it's the rayfoto LP-68 Leveler, w/ three bubble levels. As I'm sure you can imagine, with the camera and lens mounted to the gimbal, adjusting the legs on the tripod could be a death (to the camera and lens) defying balancing act. One slip and CRUNCH! The leveler removes that risk and works like a champ.Lastly, the price of the GH700 is EXTREMELY low, given the quality and smooth, precise functionality this gimbal provides. I would have gladly paid twice the cost, but luckily, I didn't need to. THANKS, Movo! You guys ROCK!

Costruzione robusta e rapporto prezzo/qualità ottimo. Lavorazione un poco grezza ma di "sostanza" .Fluido e affidabile. Speriamo che nel tempo duri . Lo consiglio.

very good value for the price, very smooth operation, very stable feel, everything straight/aligned, easy operation on the knobs, comes with maintenance instructions and good packaged, there are probably smoother ones out there but I doubt anything close price wise and the difference would be hard to notice. would buy it again

After a lot of research, I decided that I would give this Gimbal a go to support a Canon 7D with a sigma 150-600 lens. Like most others have stated, the Wimberley is the benchmark by which these are measured... but... it's very expensive and for me a bit difficult to justify as I'm not a Pro and my use is not going to be daily.There are some cheaper options out there and the reviews are in general good but often reference that the finish is a bit sub-par and that you really need to perform some mods and polishing etc to bring them up to speed.The Movo is a great compromise that offers excellent build quality and good value for money - it's also the one that is closest in design to the Wimberley if you look at them side by side. It's got a lot of heft to it (yes it's heavy!) but it needs that to support the weight of that much lens & camera! I would say that you need to put it on a very sturdy tripod if you want to maintain a level of stability to confidently stick a long lens and expensive camera on top of it.With the supplied long arca plate, it was surprisingly quick and intuitive to balance the camera and lens on the Gimbal so that it feels weightless, It does this very well and the smoothness and ease of movement is very impressive - you can rapidly point and track moving subjects very competently using this.Given what I've achieved with the MOVO, I'm now really pleased with the outcome, it's really exceeded expectations and given what I now know, I don't think that the Wimberley could improve much on this - certainly not to the level of additional cost.It's worth it's price and why pay more - well deserved of 5 stars.I will update my review if my assessment changes as I use it over a longer period of time!

5 étoiles pour le moment à cette tête pendulaire qui remplit parfaitement sa mission pour un prix 5 fois voire 8 fois moindre d'un pendulaire de marque. Le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est que c'est du lourd et ça semble être du costaud. Alors non, ce n'est pas en carbone et relativement lourd à transporter mais généralement on ne part pas en randonnée avec ce genre de matériel.Pour les réglages (serrage-desserrage), il faut un peu jouer avec les molettes pour trouver la fluidité désirée mais ça n'a rien de bien contraignant. Reste à voir l'évolution à l'usage...
