Benro GH5C Mini Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head
The Benro GH5C Mini Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head is a professional-grade camera support head engineered for photographers and videographers who use large telephoto and heavy lenses, such as in sports, wildlife, and nature photography. Its lightweight carbon fiber construction keeps the head easy to transport while still supporting a high maximum load capacity of 30 kg (66 lb), making it ideal for balancing long lenses with ease and precision.
This gimbal head features an Arca-Swiss-style quick-release plate (PL100LW), allowing for fast attachment and release of your camera and lens. Smooth panning and tilt motions are adjustable via separate knobs, and a 360° panoramic scale combined with a vertical scale helps you achieve repeatable, precise movements while tracking fast-moving subjects. The integrated bubble level ensures level shots every time, and the included drawstring bag simplifies transport and storage.
