More about the series Gimbal Head...
How is it possible to move really heavy telephoto lenses as easily as a feather? With a gimbal suspension mounted on a sturdy tripod! There are several names for this useful instrument, which is particularly common in the USA, where it is called a gimbal head. In German, the technical term Kardankopf is probably the most accurate, although many photographers simply refer to it as Affenschaukel (monkey swing).
Leofoto PG-2 / PG-2S
The Leofoto gimbal heads of the PG-2 series are a great help for photographers who want to track fast-moving subjects from a fixed location with a camera and long focal length. Just think of sporting events, reportage or even wildlife observation.
The special feature of these new gimbal heads is that they can be folded up compactly so that they do not take up much space on long trips. Additional threaded holes on the swivel arm allow accessories to be mounted. The panorama scale and spirit level allow the head to be used for single and multi-row panoramic shots.
They are available in two versions: The PG-2 offers a maximum load capacity of 25 kg. The PG-2S offers a maximum load capacity of 15 kg.
Leofoto uses high-quality 6061-T6 aluminium alloy with magnesium and silicon as alloy components for the metal parts. This corrosion-resistant material is characterised by high strength and good toughness. The yield strength is comparable to that of structural steel. All parts are milled from solid material on state-of-the-art CNC machines and are therefore significantly more stable than cast parts. Leofoto makes no compromises here either !
