FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions:

Why is it bigger an heavier than some competitors heads?

Well When we build it, we wanted to make a statement. We have tried out other Gimbal Heads, and those lighter or cheaper just didn't have quality components we put into this one. Stainless steel ball bearings and smooth locking mechanism add to the bulkiness and weight but provide unmatched performance.

Will you offer camo or matte finish version?

Yes we have plans for camo or matte finish versions.

What is unique about it?

Made in USA, precision machined, knob can be repositioned from left to right side, stainless steel mount insert.

What is the weight limit?

No weight limit as long as you attach a lens without special mount modifications.

What do I need to use my lens with Katana Gimbal Head?

You need an Arca-Swiss style quick release plate installed on your lens.

Can I attach a camera without collared lens?

Yes, what you need to have is a long plate (ie. PX6) and clamp (C40 or C60) attached together at 90deg (available at our site).

Customer Reviews

	Amazing quality
	Amazing craftsmanship, super sturdy ,with a very smooth panning made possible by steel ball bearings, this gimbal head is the best solution for long lenses. With a standard lens it will look like overkill but it will perform flawless. Highly recommended for pan action.
	Reviewed by: IONEL from Brisbane , Australia. on 1/25/2012

	I was using the best possible kit and that as well as feeling good it looked good.
	I had my 1st Katana shoot yesterday. Wow - what a difference! I could frame targets much quicker, especially those I saw at the last second. Yes I could leave the lens lined up on a static target (like herons stood on the nest) waiting for action with the pan and tilt not locked. If a flying bird appeared I could then change targets very quickly. Yes because I could follow changes of course much more easily.
