The Heavy Duty Gimbal Kit is an all-in-one support package we put together for use with telephoto and super telephoto lenses larger than a 300mm f/2.8. Key features include:
Ideal for supertelephoto lenses larger than 300mm f/2.8
Three-section carbon fiber/magnesium legs
Weightless gimbal movement when balanced
Four-inch Arca-Swiss plate included
Induro GHB2 Gimbal. When properly balanced, the Induro GHB2 Gimbal makes the camera and lens seem almost weightless, with relatively simple vertical and horizontal tracking of moving objects. With 360º panning and a +90°/-90° tilt range, you can pretty much shoot in any position as long as the tripod legs you’re using have a wide stance and high weight capacity.
PU100 Quick-Release Plate Included. The GHB2 Gimbal uses the Arca-Swiss type standard quick-release plates. This rental includes one Induro PU100 4-inch lens plate. If you need additional lens plates, we carry four different sizes as separate rental items.
High-Quality Build. Constructed from magnesium alloy, the GHB2 itself is very sturdy. It’s 9.5 inches in height and tips the scales at 3.2 pounds. It features glove-friendly oversized lock knobs, and the 2.2-inch wide base that’s 3/8"-16 threaded takes advantage of the many tripod systems that offer a large platform.
Induro CLT303L Tripod Legs. The Induro CLT303L tripod is rated to support up to 44.1 lbs by the manufacturer. We think 30-35 lbs. is a bit more realistic, but that’s still plenty for use with just about any super telephoto lens mounted to pro body. Its 3 stages give it a maximum height of 70.7 inches with the center column extended (58.9" without), minimum height of just 16.1 inches, and collapses down to 27 inches.
Improved Durability. Using what Induro calls their Stealth carbon fiber pattern with 9x weave, the CLT303L offers improved durability. Its wide stance, cross-braced magnesium alloy spider design provides an extremely rigid build yet weighs only 4.6 lbs.
Tool Kit Included. The CLT303L includes a tool kit with three metal spiked feet, an Allen key, and a dual wrench in its own small case. Also included is a deluxe carrying bag with strap for the tripod legs.
