Is the Oben GH-50 Gimbal head compatible with the Manfrotto 3021 tripod?
Asked by: A. Robert
It comes with dual mounting threads, so I am assuming there should be no issues. I am using it on a Manfrotto 055CXPRO3

question

Can a flash extension bracket be attached to the Oben gimbal head? If so, how?
Asked by: Andrew B.
I've never heard of any type of flash brake being used with Gimbal type heads. They are primarily used with Long telephoto lenses and as far as I know, flash is not part of the equation. Sorry
