## Overview

The Benro Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head (GH5C) is a lightweight yet robust support system designed for professional photographers. Weighing just 2.4 lbs, it can handle a maximum load of 66 lbs, making it ideal for heavy lenses used in sports and wildlife photography. Its Arca-Swiss compatibility allows for quick camera attachment, while the precision scales and ergonomic knobs enhance usability.

## Description

Essential for long heavy lenses the GH5C Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head from Benro supports up to 66.0 lb (30.0 kg) and weighs only 2.4 lb (1.1 kg). The GH5C gimbal is ideal for live sports photography wildlife photography and bird watching. The camera plate clamp is Arca-Swiss compatible and allows for quick attachment and release of your camera and lens. The blue anodized aluminum PL100LW lightweight camera plate has been machined to reduce as much mass as possible. A vertical scale and a 360 panoramic scale allow for easy adjustments and repeatable pans while a large pivot tension knob enables smooth tilts. A separate knob locks the panning motion for more complete adjustment control.

Review: Very good Gimbal - Very nice packing. Works perfect with my Benro Turtoise tripod. Feels smooth. I have a D7500+sigma150-600. And it works amazing. Material is light and sturd.
Review: Beautifully Crafted - This Benro gimbal head is beautifully designed and every bit as functional as its rival made by Wimberley. And the Benro gimbal is both lighter (by about 3/4 of a pound) and less expensive (by about $200). It feels solid and moves smoothly and easily in all directions. My only suggested improvement would be a safety locking mechanism on the Arca Swiss-style tightening knob (like the ones that Benro already includes on some of its ball heads). Without this, it would be too easy to accidentally loosen the knob enough for the expensive equipment to slip out and crash to the ground, notwithstanding the safety screws in the bottom of the Arca Swiss style plate. Once again, Benro provides well-made gear and excellent value. Time for Wimberley to become competitive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good Gimbal

Very nice packing. Works perfect with my Benro Turtoise tripod. Feels smooth. I have a D7500+sigma150-600. And it works amazing. Material is light and sturd.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gimbal, smooth operation
*by T***. on April 13, 2025*

Works well with heavy 60-600 mm zoom and full frame camera. I like the feel of the knobs, the rotation is smooth. Also like the integrated leveling bubble, as my travel tripod does not have it. Weight is ok, also the carbon fiber doesn't feel freezing cold in a winter night when following the moon. Highly recommended.
