Manfrotto 393 Heavy Duty Telephoto Lens Support Modifications (Gimbal Head)
« on: August 21, 2019, 08:40:08 »
I finished making the rest of the brass knobs for the Manfrotto gimbal head, must say I love using this gimbal head, absolutely brilliant bit of gear!
Its rock solid, yet movement is fluid and smooth as silk. I don't carry it far from the car though, combined with the Manfrotto 055XPROB its certainly not a light setup.

Thanks Hugh. I have a 10x22 Sieg C6 lathe and a Sieg Mini Mill.
