Gimbal head DG series offers the same stiffness, capacity, and fluid movement of the old design in a more compact and lightweight package (it is one pound lighter and about two inches shorter). The head’s redesigned panning base has zero play, and the pan locking knob has been moved to

the side of the head, thus allowing the user to easily operate both knobs with the same hand. New lobed “soft-touch” knobs provide a more comfortable grip and perform better when using gloves.

Lens Compatibility Gimbal head adjust to fit virtually any telephoto lens with a rotation collar. It is ideally suited for large lenses (300mm f/2.8 or bigger).? The following lenses require special consideration:

Lens Special Requirement Nikon 600mm f/4 AF-S version I AP-652 Replacement Foot Nikon 600mm f/4 AF-S version II AP-452 Replacement Foot Nikon 400mm f/2.8 AF-S version I Nikon 400mm f/2.8 AF-S version II

Tripod Compatibility The Gimbal head DG series will fit virtually any tripod, monopod, window or ground pod with a 2 inch (5 centimeter) or larger flat mounting platform and 3/8”-16 mounting stud. ?The bottom mounting surface of the panning spool is approximately 1.94 in (5 cm) in diameter.? If your tripod has a ?”-20 mounting stud, you can purchase our 3/8”-1/4” brass reducer bushing (part BS-100) to insert into the mounting hole of the Head, and this will allow you to mount the Head to your tripod.? For large lenses (300mm f/2.8 or bigger), Tripods with center columns are not recommended because they tend to introduce additional flex into the system, which can compromise image quality especially at longer focal lengths.
