Jobu Design DMG-HD4 Reviews

Jobu DMG-HD4 is light weight and high quality

By Terry

I'm 75 years old and trying to carry a 600mm f4 lens attached to a heavy gimbal head/tripod was getting to be more difficult. I bought a new lighter 600 and this Jobu DMG-HD4 to replace my heavier gimbal. Very happy with the smoothness and quality of this gimbal.

Really nice Gimbal

I wasn't quite sure what to expect but got this after a recommendation form a friend. I use this to hold a telephoto lens for wildlife work. It's sturdy and moves smoothly. I recommend buying this Gimbal.

Compared to Wimberly WH-200, DMG-HD4's tilt & panning knobs are on opposite sides. If you own this Jobu, does that cause issues?
Asked by: Mark
Once you are used to the location of the knobs on either the Wimberly or Jobu unit it should not be an issue.

Will this work with my canon 300mm L series and 1.4 extender?
Asked by: Janice
Assuming you have a Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L lens, the Wimberley P30 Quick Release Plate, B&H # WIQRPP30 would be suited to fit that lens on this Jobu head. https://bhpho.to/2VJ7BHQ

question

Will the Job work with the Nikon 400 vr +TC.Thanks
Asked by: Charles
If you're referring to the prime Nikon 2.8 400 lens, it weighs in at 8.5 pounds which is well within the 25-pound rating for the JOB HD4 with camera and TC attached. My largest glass currently is a Sigma 2.8 120-300 that's about 5.5 pounds w/o camera and the JOB gimbal barely notices it. As mentioned in other replies, you'll have to make sure to get a long enough mounting plate to allow correct balance adjustment.

question

What is in the box? Does this come with a lens plate or bag?
Asked by: leslie
My Jobu came with the SF-NXK Quick Release plate. It did not come with the carry bag but I contacted B & H about this and got an immediate response who contacted Jobu.I also got a very fast response from Jobu and they shipped the bag directly to my house-excellent service from both B & H and from Jobu Design.This type of response and action was very much appreciated.By the way, the gimbal works great.
