E-Image GH Series Video Head Overview

The GH06F Pro Fluid Head with Flat & 75mm Ball Bases from E-Image supports small to mid-size camera rigs with their accessories. The GH06F fluid head features a 501PL-type, snap-in, quick release plate; a bubble level; a 1/4"-20 accessory thread; and a 15 to 23.4" telescoping pan handle. It also features a combination flat/75mm ball base with a removable tie-down knuckle.

With a 4-step (0+3) fluid drag setting on both pan and tilt, you can smoothly adjust the fluid head to suit your shooting style or the needs of the shot. It also features a 6-step (0+5) counterbalance system that provides smooth and stable support at any angle for loads up to 13.2 lb.

2-in-1 Flat + Ball Base
The fluid head is designed with a versatile base that incorporates both a flat base and a 75mm ball base, enhancing its adaptability across different mounting scenarios.
Fluid Damping System
The fluid head features a 4-stop (3+0) drag adjustment for both pan and tilt, enabling precise control to match your shooting style or specific shot requirements.
Counterbalance System
The fluid head is equipped with a 6-step (5+0) counterbalance system, designed to support loads up to 13 lb, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
Snap-In System
The "snap-in" plate design allows for rapid attachment of the camera to the head. It facilitates not only sliding the plate from the front and back but also enables quick top-loading of the camera, streamlining the setup process. This top-loading feature is particularly beneficial in tight shooting environments or when quick changes between setups are required.
Bubble Level
The Manfrotto 501PL plate allows for seamless integration of the camera with other devices featuring the same plate, such as swapping between tripod, slider, jib, gimbals, and handheld rigs.

Telescoping Pan Handle
The GB2 pan handle is extendable from 15 to 23.4", providing enhanced reach and facilitating more precise control of movement.

E-Image GH Series Video Head Reviews

Broke the second time I used it

Can't use the full tilt resistance setting range, the dial simply won't turn all the way, it broke the second time I used it. I emailed the E-Image support people, they do not have a warranty support repair facility in America. They told me in broken english to email a video of the problem. No, I'm not mailing this unit to China for warranty repair.

Bought this about a year ago. I use medium size rigs on it. built up c70 with Ninja V and follow focus and other not so heavy things. I'm guessing about 6lbs. This works like a champ! Its smooth and the drag controls are spot on. They're tuned to each other, meaning if you put the tilt on 2 and pan on 2, you can make a nice circle movement and not notice any difference in the two resistance. Not to mention completely repeatable, unlike those friction clutch systems. The counter balance system is great too. But if you use just a dslr or mirrorless by itself, it may be too light for the counter balance, even at the 1 setting. Some people mentions that there is no in between increments (there are only 4 settings), but I had yet to have a rig not balance on those 4 settings. The locks are great and nothing moves once locked. but I don't like the placement of the pan lock. Its too tucked in. You have to fumble around like a teenager trying to... never mind. I like the way the handle can telescope out. The longer handle will give you less shake, if using a very long lens or you had too much coffee. The ball lock is good too. Never had it slip on me yet. Its not the most comfortable shaped knob but since you don't have to twist it that hard lock or unlock, its not too bad. I wish the head was lighter, but its a video head, I guess you really can't skimp on weight. This is a couple of notches higher than your budget friction fluid heads for sure. Love it!

According to specs, this fluid head should be operational at -40 degrees. Is this true? Has anyone tried it in very cold temperatures?
Asked by: Anna
The manufacturer's specs are based on workbench tests that are rigidly adhered to and while we do not have first-hand access to those temperature conditions, we have heard of instances where this fluid head did operate successfully at very low, mid-winter New York temperatures.

I would like to use this for a Nikon p900 bridge camera . How would the counterbalance work with a zoom lens?
Asked by: Susan
Although the Nikon p900 camera would mount and be supported by the GH06 Fluid Head, it is intended for use with larger cameras. A Gitzo 2-Way Fluid Head would be better suited for the camera’s size and can accommodate large range zoom lenses. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1436575-REG/gitzo_ghf2w_2_way_fluid_head.html/qa

Can this head be used with the Feisol Tournament CT-3442 Tripod or the Gitzo Lightweight Traveler Series ?
Asked by: Kevin
The Feisol CT-3442 and the Gitzo Traveler tripods do not take bowl-based fluid heads. You'll need to get a flat-based fluid head.
