JOBU DESIGN - Micro pendulum head adapter BWG-M1:

Less weight and improved ergonomics!

The BWG-M1 Micro is a landscape and nature photographer's dream companion, providing endless possibilities for smooth movement with telephoto lenses, while keeping your bullet head close at hand for wide-angle shots.

Since many photographers are already equipped with a good ball head and a good foot, the addition of the BWG-M1 benefits them by converting their Arca-Swiss style ball head into a fully functional gimbal head. The perfect travel companion, it easily slips into the small pockets of your existing bags without adding excess weight. No tools required for installation!

Characteristics:

        Solid billet aluminum, CNC machined from one piece
        Extreme stiffness for a small gimbal head
        Includes Arca-Swiss compatible quick release
        Needle bearings in the tilt axis for smoothness
        Rubberized button for use in cold and wet weather
        Easily adjustable variable tension settings for tilt-drag
        Requires an Arca-swiss type lens plate to attach to your lens (we recommend Surefoot plates from Jobu Design)
        Requires a high-quality Arca-swiss compatible ball head with independent panoramic functionality
        Weighs 12.4 oz (352 g). 8 in x 4 in x 2.5 in. Almost 3oz saved with our new CNC machining profile.
        ADPT-M1 adapter available to increase the offset of the ball joint

Recommended for:

70-200 F2.8 / F4, 300mm F2.8 / F4, zoom 100-400, zoom 150-500, 400mm F5.6, OD 400mm, etc.

Recommended lens and camera for a total of less than 4.5 kg

Warnings and technical requirements:

    We highly recommend a very good quality ball head with a smooth and smooth panning motion for this product. A cheap ball joint that is very stiff when panning will make a lousy gimbal head.
    Ball joints that incorporate push-button safety locks into the Arca-Swiss clamp WILL NOT WORK with this product.
    Make sure your patella head has a clamp and a quick release ball. Some ball joint clamps are secured with a single flimsy screw that rotates the clamp on the ball itself. This could damage or damage the ball joint. Again, we emphasize that a high quality ball head is mandatory.
    We do not recommend using Cam-Action Quick Triggers with the BWG-M1. Although we tailor the RRS quick release clamping system very precisely, we cannot guarantee that all cam levers will operate within the same tolerance range in all situations. We highly recommend Arca-Swiss style pliers with normal screw knobs.
    Ball joints with round, hexagonal, square or exclusive Manfrotto, Bogen clamping plates or do not work with the BWG-M1. We do not recommend stacking adapters to create your own system.
