Leofoto PG-1 Black Gimbal Head

When you're using a long telephoto lens to follow wildlife, even small movements can make a big difference. The Leofoto PG-1 Gimbal Head Camo takes the weight off your hands, making it much easier to keep a large lens balanced and smoothly follow animals as they move.

Its gimbal design keeps your camera and lens nicely balanced, so you can pan and tilt without constantly fighting against the weight of your equipment. The horizontal arm gives you a full 360° range of movement, while the vertical arm makes it easy to adjust your shooting angle — useful when tracking birds in flight, following deer across open ground or waiting for a fox to appear.

The Arca-Swiss quick-release system works with compatible Arca-Swiss plates and comes with a 100mm plate, making it straightforward to attach and remove your camera setup. A strong clip lock helps keep everything securely in place, while the built-in spirit level makes it easier to get your setup straight before you start shooting.

Despite weighing just 1kg, the PG-1 can support up to 25kg, giving you plenty of capacity for substantial camera and telephoto lens combinations. Finished in a camouflage design, it also fits naturally into a wildlife photography setup where keeping things unobtrusive matters.
