E-Image GH Series Video Head Overview

The E-Image GH06 Fluid Head supports cameras and accessories weighing up to 13 pounds. The GH06 head features an Easy Lock Baseplate system that combines the balance adjustment of a sliding baseplate with the ease of a quick-release system. It provides five counterbalance settings (plus a zero setting for no counterbalance) that help the fluid head support loads up to 13 pounds.

With three fluid drag grades plus a zero setting on both pan and tilt, you can adjust the fluid head to suit your shooting style or the needs of the shot. The head features a built-in 1/4"-20 accessory socket for available monitor support arms or other accessory items, and independent pan and tilt locks.

The Easy Lock baseplate provides the balance adjustment range associated with a sliding balance plate but combines the ease of a quick release, as you can pop the camera (on the Easy Lock plate) into the top of the fluid head without having to support the camera while lining up the plate with the head. Easy to pop in, it stays secure until you release it, and you maintain the sliding balance adjustments.
The Easy Lock camera plate features a guided sled with a retractable locating pin and supports both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera tie-down screws (included).

E-Image GH Series Video Head Reviews

Broke the second time I used it

Can't use the full tilt resistance setting range, the dial simply won't turn all the way, it broke the second time I used it. I emailed the E-Image support people, they do not have a warranty support repair facility in America. They told me in broken english to email a video of the problem. No, I'm not mailing this unit to China for warranty repair.

Bought this about a year ago. I use medium size rigs on it. built up c70 with Ninja V and follow focus and other not so heavy things. I'm guessing about 6lbs. This works like a champ! Its smooth and the drag controls are spot on. They're tuned to each other, meaning if you put the tilt on 2 and pan on 2, you can make a nice circle movement and not notice any difference in the two resistance. Not to mention completely repeatable, unlike those friction clutch systems. The counter balance system is great too. But if you use just a dslr or mirrorless by itself, it may be too light for the counter balance, even at the 1 setting. Some people mentions that there is no in between increments (there are only 4 settings), but I had yet to have a rig not balance on those 4 settings. The locks are great and nothing moves once locked. but I don't like the placement of the pan lock. Its too tucked in. You have to fumble around like a teenager trying to... never mind. I like the way the handle can telescope out. The longer handle will give you less shake, if using a very long lens or you had too much coffee. The ball lock is good too. Never had it slip on me yet. Its not the most comfortable shaped knob but since you don't have to twist it that hard lock or unlock, its not too bad. I wish the head was lighter, but its a video head, I guess you really can't skimp on weight. This is a couple of notches higher than your budget friction fluid heads for sure. Love it!

I would like to use this for a Nikon p900 bridge camera . How would the counterbalance work with a zoom lens?
Asked by: Susan
Although the Nikon p900 camera would mount and be supported by the GH06 Fluid Head, it is intended for use with larger cameras. A Gitzo 2-Way Fluid Head would be better suited for the camera’s size and can accommodate large range zoom lenses. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1436575-REG/gitzo_ghf2w_2_way_fluid_head.html/qa

Can this head be used with the Feisol Tournament CT-3442 Tripod or the Gitzo Lightweight Traveler Series ?
Asked by: Kevin
The Feisol CT-3442 and the Gitzo Traveler tripods do not take bowl-based fluid heads. You'll need to get a flat-based fluid head.

Any possible way to remove the ball head? Are there any screws on the bowl that would allow it to be taken off?
Asked by: Michael
It is not possible to convert this head to a flat base tripod. However Ikan does offer the IK-RSR6 Hi-Hat Riser, you could use this instead to connect this head to a flat base with a 3/8"-16 connection. https://bhpho.to/2ro3GCc
