Have ask in another thread but thought it may get noticed more on its own.ime looking at getting one and my first choice was the Benro GH2


Benro GH2 Gimbal Head (GH2), Benro Approved Tripod Stockist


Then i noticed this one the BEIKE BK45 at a lot less money

Beike BK-45 Gimbal Tripod Head Specialized 1/4" Screw for Telephoto Lens Camera | eBay

My first though at that much less it cant be any good but saw this tube vid,alright the guy talks a lot about his fluid head but at the end shows the gimbal with camera attached and didnt look bad,any thoughts please.

Mike, been with the cheaper one's, if you can afford the Benro GH2 then i would recommend it, i use one and its a world apart from the cheaper ones, when you turn the knob to lock it, it stays put, the cheaper ones tend to move, just my experience.

The thoughts i am having are i could buy the Benro but its a lot of money if i don't like using one,the cheaper one is a lot less to waste but if it doesn't work well that would put me off.

After more research and looking at a few more i have ordered the BK45,should get it tomorrow or the next day,the only thing is if it works ok for me i will need a new tripod as my old benbo is a bit heavy :D what it will do though is give me a fighting chance of using the new Tamron when its out in Nikon.
