I have the Sigma 150-600 Lens and am looking into getting one of these
I am not a professional just love to take pics as a hobby
I have looked at the Sevenoak SK-GHO1 Gimble Type Tripod Head and the Movo GH700 Professional Gimbal Tripod Head with the Arca-Swiss Quick Release Plate and then the third one Opteka Gimble Head
SO can anyone tell me which one is better then the others
I do not want to spend a fortune as i said it is just a hobby and will be taking pics of wildlife
Thanks
Thank You bsprague but I did not see anyone recommend any?

Lori, I do not know your budget but I would suggest a "Nest Carbon Fiber" Gimbal Head.

well i did not want to spend to much like I said it is just a hobby and i do not use that sigma lens all the time mostly when there are eagles and geese that migrate around here
I have seen some for $100.00 bucks or a little more
And I know that is cheap but just need something so i do not have to carry that lens all the time
Do you know or anyone else know if anyone has ever used the ones i mentioned on top before and how good they are?

No. Wimberley, Nest and Manfrotto seem to the common ones.
I've had a Movo aluminum Gimbal for a couple of years and it has served me well without costing a fortune. Yes there are better Gimbals out there it depends on how much your going to use it and how much you want to spend.
Thank You Wayne T ..I would not use it that much mostly when i use my sigma 150-600 lens

That's what I used mine for until I had to sell the lens but it worked well with my 150-600 sport. I still use it for my 180mm Sigma macro that is also a heavy lens for a macro lens and where I really need the stability for outdoor macro shooting.
Have a look at Lensmaster, not as expensive as the big name brands but very good.
