Overview

The Sirui PH-10 Carbon Fiber Gimbal Head is engineered for photographers who need serious support without serious weight. Built from 10-layer carbon fiber, the head weighs just 0.98 kg (2.16 lbs) yet handles camera and lens combinations up to 15 kg (33 lbs). This makes it particularly well-suited for fieldwork — bird watching, sports photography, and other scenarios where you are carrying gear over distance and need a stable platform for long telephoto lenses in the 200mm to 600mm range.

Control is delivered through four independent locking knobs that govern the track, panning base, sliding platform, and quick release plate. Each can be adjusted individually, giving you the ability to lock certain axes while keeping others fluid for tracking moving subjects. The 360-degree rotating base and panoramic panning enable smooth horizontal sweeps, while the sliding platform with precision scale marks lets you shift your camera position vertically for fine-tuned balance. The included quick release plate features both 1/4"-20 and 3/8" screws, and a security lock button ensures your gear stays attached even during rapid repositioning. The universal 3/8" screw port on the base mounts to any compatible tripod.

Key Features

Lightweight yet Solid for Outdoor Shoot: Compared to large gimbal heads for DSLR, the SIRUI PH-10 Gimbal Tripod Head with the 10-layer carbon-fiber body reduces its weight down to 0.98kg/2.16lbs, yet it is still strong enough to support up to a 15kg/33lbs load.

Conquer the outdoor: The SIRUI PH-10 Gimbal Head supports up to a 15kg/33lbs load to perfectly fit with a mirrorless camera and compatible 200mm-600mm telephoto lens for steady and smooth outdoor shoots. Ideal for bird watching, sports photography, telescope and other outdoor scenarios.

Safety Components: The quick release plate with precision scale marks includes a 1/4”-20 and 3/8” accessory screws. Connect to a photo accessory with the universal 3/8” Screw Port located at the bottom of the panning base. A quick button press to secure your shoot with the security lock.

Independent Locking Knobs: Independent locking knobs for easy friction control and position settings. Manually adjust position setting with the four independent locking knobs for track, base, sliding platform and quick release plate control.

Omni-directional Creation: With the 360 degree rotaing base and panoramic base, frame your inspiration by panning or tilting the head as desired for fast shot tracking and extension whether in a pleasant or harsh environment. Easily attach a compatible photo/video equipment to the quick release plate and sliding platform with precision scale marks up or down to vary shooting height and your sights.
