As the pinnacle of the Black Widow line of gimbals, the Jobu Design BWG-Pro is loaded with high end features and an original design.
This is a gimbal-type tripod head that allows the entire weight of the camera and lens combination to be hung rather than balanced.
This gimbal is constructed of over-sized, one-piece, heat-treated and cast aluminum that is both extremely rigid and lightweight. The swing-arm is a new design and has a spring-action. Movement is smooth and it is facilitated by a ball-bearing pivot.
The BWG-Pro 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. The horizontal swinging arm design 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.
