The 9. 8" tall Sirui PH-30 Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head can tilt and rotate a camera and a large telephoto lens that weighs up to 55. 1 lb with ease and smoothness, so it can track fast-moving subjects such as in sports or bird photography. Moreover, the head tilts from -60 to 150° and pans a full 360°, while the platform adjusts 90° in height. Both the tilt and the rotation can lock into place via the tilt's locking knob and the independent pan locking knob. The 3. 1 lb gimbal head is made of an 8-layer carbon fiber weave, and the platform is constructed from a lightweight aluminum material. Additionally, the platform is Arca-type compatible, and it includes a quick release plate with both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera mounting threads.
