Product Description
SIRUI PH-20 Carbon Fibre Gimbal Head for Large Lenses: Smooth, Balanced Control for Professional Photography
The SIRUI PH-20 Carbon Fibre Gimbal Head is designed for photographers who work with large, heavy camera-lens combinations, particularly in nature and sports photography. This professional-grade gimbal head provides the balance and stability needed to track moving subjects effortlessly, preventing accidental tipping that can occur with traditional ball heads.
Durable and Lightweight Carbon Fibre Construction
Crafted from a durable carbon fibre and aluminium combination, the PH-20 is lightweight at only 1.1 kg yet exceptionally strong, supporting up to 20 kg of gear. The carbon fibre arm ensures lightweight portability, while the aircraft-grade aluminium L-plate adds structural strength, making it ideal for outdoor shoots where weight and durability are critical.
Smooth, Controlled Movements for Tracking Action
The PH-20 gimbal head offers soft, smooth movement, essential for tracking fast-moving subjects such as wildlife and athletes. Its design allows for fluid tilting and panning, enabling photographers to capture sharp images of dynamic scenes without losing stability. The tilting range of +150° to -60° and 360° panoramic rotation give photographers extensive control over composition and movement, making it perfect for capturing high-quality action shots.
Precision Scales for Accurate Adjustments
Equipped with scales for tilting, panning, and vertical movement, the PH-20 allows for precise positioning and easy repeatability of settings. The notched control wheel provides distortion-free panoramic adjustments, ensuring accuracy when shooting wide scenes. These scales allow for exact alignment, making it easy to recreate settings for consistent results across multiple shoots.
Versatile Quick-Release Plates and Arca-Swiss Compatibility
The PH-20 includes a 120mm quick-release plate that is Arca-Swiss compatible, offering secure, fast camera attachment. A second smaller quick-release plate is also included, allowing the head to be used for portrait-oriented shooting, enhancing the gimbal’s versatility. The included quick-release plates provide flexibility for various shooting styles, whether tracking horizontally or vertically.
