E-Image GH06 Tripod System Overview

Combining a fluid head with a set of carbon fiber tripod legs, the E-Image GH06 Head with 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs supports cameras and accessories weighing up to 13 pounds. The head and legs feature a 75mm ball/bowl, which provides a wide support platform for your camera. The legs are made from carbon fiber and feature three leg sections, with mono-lock leg locks. The mono-lock design allows you to lock and unlock all the sections of each leg using only one rotating locking lever. The tripod extends to a height of 73" and collapses down as low as 32.5" using the built-in mid-level spreader.

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 helps 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. It includes a padded carry bag with a shoulder strap.

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.
Mono-lock design allows you to lock and unlock the three sections of each leg using only one locking lever. The rotating lever provides a robust clamp mechanism that secures the legs and prevents them from slipping once locked. The single lever on each leg allows you to quickly lock the leg height without having to use two levers, making for a quicker workflow and sparing your back from having to bend down to open a bottom lock to raise the legs.
The legs feature dual spiked feet that provide solid purchase in soft surfaces when the legs are spread wide or extended to full height.
Removable rubber feet attach to the spiked feet for working on delicate or hard surfaces.
The Easy Lock camera plate features a guided sled with locating pin, and supports both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera tie-down screws (included).

E-Image GH06 Tripod System Reviews

Very good smooth Tripod

I was looking for a budget cinema tripod. I really like this one. Trs smooth !

Wonderful head; but not legs

By Richard

Unlike many others this tripod head oozes quality. It has adjustable pan& tilt dials as well as a counterbalance that can be dialed in for the weight of your camera. I'm impressed with the design of the fluid head. The aluminum legs are not so great. First of all they are too heavy. I like the single knobs at the top of the legs for setting up the tripod but collapsing the legs requires you to bend all the way over to the floor to pull up the first two legs by the loop provided. It's nice that the mid level spreader is adjustable to move the legs further or closer to the center. But overall I regard the $399 sale price I paid to be worth it for the head alone. From what I've read the carbon fiber legs also available for this kit are only about a pound lighter. So get used to a heavy tripod for this kind of quality.

What adapter to use to make e-image gh06 tripod compatible with tilta's shoulder mount (arch-swiss or manfrotto)? detail please
Asked by: Paul
The E-Image GH06 Head with 2-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs does not use a Arca-Swiss or Manfrotto quick release plate, but you could mount the E-Image GP1 Quick Release Plate to the base of your shoulder mount, which would work with the GH06 fluid head.

This is a fluid head tripod. It is meant for use with video camcorders or DSLR's shooting video. It would be awkward to use this for still photography.

Can I mount the Kessler Crane Pocket Dolly v2.0 Standard (39.5 ) B&H # KECS1010 MFR # CS1010 onto this tripod?
Asked by: Roderick H.
Yes you can. The E-Image is a very good choice for it has more than enough capacity. I always like having more capacity in a tripod rather than just enough.
