Overview

The Neewer GM24 is a compact fluid head designed for photographers and videographers who need smooth pan-and-tilt control without adding significant weight to their kit. Standing just 2.91 inches tall and weighing 10.93 ounces, it is built entirely from metal, giving it a solid, durable feel that belies its small footprint. The head offers 360-degree panoramic rotation and a tilt range from -55° to +90°, controlled by dedicated aluminum alloy locking knobs for both axes. Fixed friction damping provides consistent resistance during movements, making it well suited for smooth panning shots and controlled tilting.

The included Arca Swiss-compatible quick release plate features a non-slip rubber pad and two fall-prevention screws to keep your camera secure. A standout feature is the magnetically attached handle, which can be detached with the included L-shaped hex key and reinstalled on either side for left- or right-handed operation. With a 6.6-pound maximum load capacity, the GM24 pairs well with mirrorless cameras, compact DSLRs, and lightweight video cameras, though users with heavier rigs will want to look at larger fluid heads. The 37mm base diameter fits comfortably on most standard tripods and monopods via its 3/8" mounting thread.
