[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 365373, member: 8330"] The one that Don Kondra posted is pretty much what I have. It was an Opteka release on Amazon. It's been exactly what I've wanted in a low cost gimbal. The 360degree horizontal swivel is ALMOST perfect (sticks a little for a small range) but not enough to complain about. The vertical swivel works great. Balance is almost spot on and I suspect if I spent more time balancing it I could get it better. Comes with its own mounting plate (that's a plus). The hold/mount is "good enough". There are probably much better systems but I've never really complained about the hold on my D7100 with Tamron 150-600. I liked this gimbal enough to buy its own tripod so I didn't have to swap it out with any other head. I suspect the original manufacturer sells it to companies like the ebay listing (that Kondra posted) and Opteka and likely others. That $84 listing is the cheapest I've ever seen it listed. I bought mine for a bit over $120. [/QUOTE]
