XILETU XGH-3 Reviews

Not Quite...

In A Never-ending Quest To Find A Decent Gimbal Head That Would Balance A Nikkor 60mm F/4 G Lens, I Tried This One. It's Vertical Movement Is Stiff, And The Lock / Drag Knob Didn't Really Do Much Other Than Lock. The Platform Wiggles Just A Bit. The Height Of The Vertical Arm Barely Fit The Lens With An Aftermarket Foot. It Would Not Have Balanced With The Much Taller Nikon-supplied Foot.

Pan and Tilt arms run on ball bearings or bushing?
Asked by: Lewis
The manufacture does not list if the XILETU Professional Heavy-Duty Gimbal Head with Arca-Type Quick Release has bushings or ball bearings. Chances are it is bushings.
