Jobu Design BWG-HD2 Black Widow Gimbal Tripod Head with Arca-Swiss Type Quick Release Base (Requires Plate) - Heavy Duty Design

Features
Specifications

The Jobu Design BWG-HD2 Black Widow Gimbal (Heavy Duty mk II Version) is a gimbal-type tripod head that allows the entire weight of the camera and lens combination to be hung rather than balanced.

Major improvements have been made to the original BWG-HD that include a significant reduction in overall weight. The new version is a half-pound lighter than its predecessor. This weight loss comes with a stiffening of the chassis, resulting in a much stronger gimbal less prone to flex. Additionally, a ball-bearing pivoting system has been introduced that makes the action on this gimbal much smoother than before.

The BWG-HD2 incorporates an elevated tilt mechanism and adjustable platform to make the camera/lens' center of gravity and tilt axis of the head be perfectly aligned.

This Gimbal design with a horizontal swinging arm is especially useful for large telephoto lenses, like a 400mm f/2.8, 500mm f/4, or 600mm f/4 lens. By re-orienting the mounting clamp to a horizontal position (rather than vertical sidemount), it allows for a much easier way of installing the lens, and one removes all the shear stress from the lens-collar on telephoto lenses.

• Major Improvements for this mk II Version: In addition to being lighter, more rigid, and smoother to operate, rubberized knobs are incorporated which are comfortable and easy on the hands. The body has a powder-coat finish and black anodization on the remaining aluminum components.

• Arca-Type Quick Release System: The Arca-Swiss type quick release base allows it to be used with any of the many "Arca-Swiss type" plates, available from Arca-Swiss, Foba, NPC, Novoflex, etc.

• Horizontal Mount: The horizontal mount is CNC machined for lightness, yet retains its high strength. A fully retained quick-turn knob allows infinite balance position adjustment and steadfast clamping.

• Horizontal Lockout Knob: The horizontal tilt motion can be locked out for complete safety. Whether for transporting over the shoulder, or for changing cameras without removing the lens, the lockout knob will stop the head from moving.

• Ergonomically Designed Knobs: Ergonomically designed thermoplastic clamping knobs. These feature a wide grip and smooth contours that are easy on the hands. The high-profile 6-lobe design allows for ease of use and strong clamping, even with gloves on.

• Maintenance Free Design: Requires no maintenance. Nylon bushings will not wear out, and heavy-duty waterproof grease is used to create the silky-smooth operation.

• All Weather Design: From the hard powder-coated support arm, to the stainless steel shafts, to the black anodized clamp, the finish will endure the worst a photographer can throw at it.
