The PG-2 Folding Gimbal Head from Leofoto makes it easy to capture fast-moving subjects with a large and heavy telephoto lens that otherwise could not be achieved by manually holding the lens. The gimbal arm swings back and forth through a 360° range and can be locked down at the required angle. An adjustable stiffness is integrated into this head's design to enhance stability and control during use. The folding camera platform features an Arca-type quick release set and has height adjustability to help balance a telephoto lens on the head. The body is made of precision CNC-machined aluminum alloy and has been hollowed out to optimize the weight-to-strength ratio. Along the arm of the gimbal are a 3/8-16" and two 1/4"-20 accessory sockets. The design of the PG-2 allows for the gimbal to collapse for a more portable footprint, perfect for traveling when space is limited.
