Does anyone have any experience of the Gitzo GFH2W 2 Way Fluid Head for Wildlife?
I'm looking for a lighter weight alternative to a full sized gimbal as the biggest lenses I use are the Nikon Z100-400 and 400 4.5 with TC's. I may possibly add the 180-600 at a later date. The Gitzo seems to offer a decent solution, packs into the space for a standard zoom, is cheap at £279, lightweight and is arca swiss compatible unlike most other video heads. I don't do video at the moment but it is something I might look at doing in the future.
The other alternative is the Jobu Jnr 3 but whilst being very lightweight and compact it is still much more bulky to pack compared to the Gitzo.
Would I be missing out on anything by not going for a traditional gimbal here?
Hoping someone has first hand experience of the gimbal (or the Jobu too). There are barely any reviews out there for the Gitzo or the Jobu.
