Benro Gd3wh 3-way Geared Head
- Product Code: ga58053
-
Accurately position your camera with the 4.3" tall GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head from Benro, which has three independent geared movements that move with precision by turning the knob in slow increments. To quickly position a camera without the gears, simply turn the inner wheel counter-clockwise, which releases the clutch, to move the camera into the desired angle.
The 1.6 lb Arca-type compatible head is constructed from a durable magnesium alloy, and its carbon steel and bronze gears provide smooth operation. With the head's load capacity of 13.2 lb, it can hold a mirrorless to medium format camera with ease, and the three bubble levels ensure accurate leveling of the camera in any axis.
Load Capacity: 13.2 lb Height: 4.3" Weight: 1.6 lb Arca-Type Compatible 3 Independent Geared Precise Movements Pull-Knobs for Quick Positioning 3 Bubble Levels Ensure Accurate Leveling Magnesium-Alloy Construction

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Will theKirk QRLB-T Universal Quick Release Tall L-Bracket fit this?
A: Yes the Kirk QRLB-T Universal Quick Release Tall L-Bracket is compatible with the Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head.
Q: 2. I want non padded pouch for travel, when head is detached from tripod. Which one is large enough to fit Benro? I am looking at Tenba Neoprene one https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1374639-REG/tenba_636_353_tools_soft_lens_pouch.html or Lenscoat https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/547496-REG/LensCoat_LCLPLWBK_LensPouch_Large_Wide_Black.html. What can you recommend?
A: The two you were looking into will not fit the head. I'd recommend a 15 inch or 19 inch lens wrap for it.
Q: 3. Does this use the same mounting plate as the ronin rs2?
A: DJI RS 2 has both upper and lower quick-release plates. The lower quick-release plate is compatible with the Manfrotto standard and can be mounted onto Manfrotto video tripod heads. The upper quick-release plate is compatible with the Arca-Swiss standard and can be compatible with Arca-Swiss tripods after disassembly. (Note: The Arca-Swiss and Manfrotto quick-release plates cannot be mounted onto the DJI RS 2 tripod.)
Q: 4. Can you suggest a budget friendly tripod that won't move when set up to go with this head? Heavy is ok.
A: Manfrotto MT055XPRO3 Aluminum Tripod B&H # MAMT055XPRO3
Q: 5. Is this compatible with the Peak Design Dual Plate?
A: Yes, the Benro GD3WH 3-way geared head uses an arca-swiss style clamp and accepts the Peak Design dual plate, which employs a unique dual-system arca-swiss and Manfrotto RC2 style design.
Q: 6. Does anyone know if this head can be mounted on a Cosmo Mini 500 copy stand perhaps with an adapter; want to scan negs digitally and want to be able to level the camera?
A: While B&H does not carry the Cosmo Mini 500 Copy Stand you list above, it appears from the pictures on the manufacturer's website the screw on the copy stand is a 1/4"-20 male threaded screw. The Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head has a 3/8"-16 female tripod socket on the base of the head, so you would need an adapter such as the Oben 3/8"-16 to 1/4"-20 Reducer Bushing, B&H # OB1039, to connect the Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head to the Cosmo Mini 500 Copy Stand.
Q: 7. Does the Peak Design standard plate fit the Benro?
A: Yes, the Peak Design PL-S-3 Standard Plate is compatible with the Benro GD3WH 3-Way Geared Head.
Q: 8. Where have you been all my life? Hoping that this will be a more affordable option vs the Cube. Is it?
A: Yes, it is much more affordable than the Arca Swiss Cubes.
Q: 9. I have a battery grip for my Canon 6D. Is anyone aware of usable L-brackets that would work with this head? Thanks.
A: Mostly any L bracket will work with this head, as long as it is Arca compatible.
Q: 10. What is the included allen wrench for?
A: The allen key is for the small allen screws at the base of the qr plate, they are stops so the plate doesn't slide out but some users prefer not to use the screws.
