Can I use this with Nikon D850 + Tamron 150-600 lens?.
Can this Gimble fit on a Benro tripod?
Does this support Arca type mount?
Yes, the Magnus GH-M1 is compatible with a Nikon D850 with a Tamron 150-600mm lens. This will mount onto a Benro tripod, or any tripod with a 3/8"-16 mounting screw, and it uses the traditional arca-swiss dovetail.

I purchased this product and I put my sigma 150-600mm and the 2x teleconveter and pointed to the moon, so it was a step angle. And all the pictures came blur for movement slowly going down. when you said to balance the camera and the lens? How can I make sure they are balanced? And can I purchase a bigger nob to tight better when in angle?
A ballhead or pan and tilt head would be better if you don't want to move the camera while shooting; a gimbal head is meant for making photographs of moving subjects, like birds in flight, or racing cars, using a very long telephoto lens. To lock the camera securely at an angle, a different type of tripod head would be a better choice.

If you can unscrew the ball head, it should work fine.

Will this gimbal work underslung? Trying to put together a ceiling mounted DSLR rig.
I just took mine out, and surprise: the arm swings freely through 360 degrees. You also might be able to reorient the mount plate by undoing the stop screw.

IS this head compatible with the oben 1461 tripod?
Sorry, I do not use the Oben tripods, I have several Manfrottos. The gimbal head works with all of them. If the Oben has a threaded stud in the center I don't see why it would not work.

How wide is it (from the center of plate?) Will it fit the wide 400 f2.8 IS i ?
Yes, the Canon Telephoto EF 400mm f/2.8L IS Image Stabilizer USM Autofocus Lens
(B&H# RBC40028LISE) could fit in the Magnus GH-M1 Gimbal Head (B&H# MAGHM1) if placed far enough forward in the clamp for the lens plate. However, that may not leave the camera and lens well balanced. We'd recommend the Oben GH-30 Gimbal Head (B&H# OBGH30): https://bhpho.to/3Ataa1T
If your budget allows, the top of the line in this genre is the Wimberley WH-200 Gimbal Tripod Head II with Quick Release Base (B&H# WITHQRQ):
