## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, i have manfrotto tripods and thus only manfrotto mounts and quick releases. can someone please tell me what else i need for use with this gimbal?**
A: You need Arca-Swiss type mounting plates. I have some manfrotto plates and they do not work too wide.

**Q: Does it include the Mounting/Balancing Plate?**
A: NO, it does not. They say it does - but mine did not include the plate, and the whole packaged seemed suspicious.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a well built design. Very pleased
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 2, 2019*

I am amazed at the quality and build of this Gimbal. It will rival the 1k ones out there. As soon as I held it I knew and felt the precision in the build. It moves so smoothly and the knobs hold so well. When locked down my camera does not budge. Camera is heavy with a grip and 2 batteries and a long Sigma lens. when loosened the action is like riding on air. I love this Gimbal and recommend it to anyone who wants a thousand dollar gimbal but does not want to pay that price. Awesome job with this product. A+++++++++

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 8, 2017*

I read the reviews online and researched other brands before I made this purchase. I must say I love this gimbal mount. It is light weight and easy to use. I have taken this on several all day trips with my Nikon D7200 and a Nikkor 200-500mm lenses on a monfotto carbon fiber tripod it was not to heaven to carry around. I highly recommend this product. The pictures I have been able to take are wonderful.

### ⭐⭐ Not as fluid as the manfrotto 701 :(
*by  on Reviewed in the United States March 4, 2025*

Good build but doesn’t work well for video. I bought this to have a better balanced head over the manfrotto fluid head for video panning at sporting events but it just doesn’t flow smoothly. Seems to have tight and loose spots in the panning axis.
