Bought this one off ebay, an Indian supplier, about half the price of one in the UK, but a little heavier. Superbly stable, will take it out next weekend and give it a run.:)

Looks good Rolf, be interested in seeing how it performs in action
Well it's certainly rock steady Joe, so should afford shake free photos, but the one con is the weight, we'll see what I feel like carrying an extra kilo or so over my shoulder on longer walks.:) Have ordered a carbon fibre tripod as well, should arrive today
The CF tripod will make a difference in the weight, that's why I got one.
It arrived this afternoon Joe, very light, will put the gimble on it to try, but may use the gimble on the old tripod and put a fluid video head on the fibre tripod for use also with the scope.
I am using the manfrotto hdv 701 fluid head. it takes the weight of camera and 300mm lens quite comfortly. thats the set up I used for the Kingfisher flight shots.
Hi New here but thought Id throw my 2 pence worth in. If you are looking for a Gimble at a cost that will not break the bank can I suggest LensMaster Gimbal Head £147 + p&p. I have nothing to do with the company other than I purchase one just after christmas. I use a Canon 7D with a 100-400 Canon L lens on it & its stable as a stable thing can be, plus its made in the UK
Sorry Tony, your post was waiting in a queue which I missed.
Looks like a nice product, what's the weight like?
