Thank You for choosing Oben!

The Oben GH-30 and GH-30C are gimbal-type tripod 
heads designed to balance a lens along its vertical 
and horizontal axes. Both gimbal heads feature solid 
and sturdy construction, and they mount onto most 
tripods with a 3/8-inch threaded stud. 

Ideal for wildlife or sports photography, the gimbal 
heads are designed to ensure fast and precise camera 
positioning to capture the desired subject, even with 
a heavy lens. Lenses that are large or heavy enough 
to affect quick moving and aiming can be tilted or 
swiveled effortlessly and remain securely in place 
once positioned.

Engineered with a strong and durable curved 
main arm, both heads support up to 44 pounds, 
yet balances the load so even a large lens feels 
weightless. An arca-type quick-release plate is 
included for swift and secure camera mounting, and 
it’s designed with safety studs to assure the security 
of your lens so it won’t slip off of the head.
