        Great build quality Review by Steve
        Michigan, USA
        Quality
        This is my first gimbal and I bought it to accommodate the Canon 400mm 2.8. Adjusts easily to handle the lens with perfect balance, and with the markings on both the Arca style clamp and the GLM 5.5, simple to dial in the balance point when I add an extender or switch to another lens. Movement is smooth in all directions, I'm very pleased with my purchase. (Posted on 2/27/12)

        Quality
        I really love this, first i thought that i paid lots of money BUT worth every each penny. I am wild life photographer and need fast movement with some animals with CB GIMBAL I am the fast one not animal. Thanks creator.

        If you are wild life and using 500, 600 or 800 buy this you won't regret. (Posted on 10/25/11)
        Precision Review by mpbphoto
        Youngstown, Ohio
        Quality
        I purchased the CB Gimbal after meeting the company owner out on the field. He was using the head with a Canon 800mm lens and camera. The head controlled the lens/camera combo like it was light as a feather. I now wouldn't trust my big equipment to a anything else. (Posted on 7/8/11)
        Fine piece of machinery Review by Morrell
        Princeton, NJ
        Quality
        My first Gimbal after years of bird photography. Bought it based on customer reviews and specs. Full ball bearings construction claimed, lots of adjustments, index markings, and the setup knob is a real plus. Not to mention the easy dismantling ability for compactness. Two niggling perhaps minor design flaws though: the mounting hole to accommodate the longish screw on my tripod is a tad too shallow so I had to insert a thin large metal washer in between the head and the tripod; and why wasn't the azimuthal axis aligned with the tripod mountig screw? Perhaps a potential misalignment problem for panoramic shooting. Should take off 1/2 star for this.

        All in all a precision instrument. Although any kind of tripod will be limiting against full freedom of motion for shooting birds in flight, if the lens is too heavy to manage freehand style, the CB Gimbal is about as good as it gets to balance the lens 'weightlessly'

        Customer service was excellent - honoring a coupon that I neglected to include during the initial purchasing stage after I received the unit.

        You won't be disappointed with the CB Gimbal. (Posted on 7/4/11)
        The CB Gimbal is easy to set up and makes shooting with the 500L effortless. Review by Coastal Jim
        Oregon Coast
        Quality
        I avoided getting a gimbal head for several years but finally gave in and I'm so glad I did----In flight shots are so much easier, and I get many more keepers. The CB Gimbal is easy to set up and makes shooting with the 500L effortless. Some reviews criticize this Gimbal for having too many adjustment knobs, but after a very short time learning to use it, I found it very simple to use. it breaks down and is easy to pack when hiking. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone wanting a quality Gimbal head. (Posted on 4/11/11)
