Movo Photo: Has anyone used Movo photo before? Looks like they have a lot of stuff, just wondering if it's any good or junk. Gonna try their bean bag.

No different than Cowboy Studio, Neewer, Opteka, Flashpoint, and all the other "off-brands". None of them manufacture ANYTHING. They take stock, bulk manufactured products and have their names imprinted upon them and sell them at inflated prices caliming "higher quality" as a general practice.

MT Shooter, what I was looking was the bean bag and it's about $ 50.00 cheaper. It may be poor quality not sure but that's why I was asking never heard of them. I'll be calling on you soon.

I made my own bean bag from a soft cloth lens pouch i never use and <$2 in lentils from the grocery store. Works perfectly!

I just purchased their GH 700 gimbal head based on 4.5 star rating on Amazon after MANY reviews..Definitely not a Wimberely ( about $500 MORE!!!), but appears to do the job fairly well according to their reviews.. If I have any issues, I'm sure Amazon will take it back.. I should receive it in a couple of days, and plan to use it with my D500 Nikon/Tamron 150-600 G2. I sold my Wimberely "Side-Kick" to go for this head which should give me a wider arc of movement..I'll report back once I get the rig together and get some use out of it...BTW..For the money, I don't see how you could go wrong with their "BEANBAG"!

As MT Shooter says. Never have purchased anything with the Movo name. I have purchased a rebranded Mieke flash that came with the Neewer name. It is a good alternative to the overpriced Sony flashes. Adorama sells Flashpoint and I have had a couple of those products which were more than okay. The name no longer tells you much. Samyang lenses are sold under at least three names. My Rokinon/Samyang fisheye has been great.

That's one more reason to buy from stores with a good return policy.

OTOH, I've never had a need to return a Nikon product. Nor have I had bad experiences with Sony CAMERAs. Sony audio gear is third-rate, but the camera engineers have done themselves proud.

I have the Movo gimbal head. I don't have enough need or money to justify something like a Wimberely. To me the Movo head seems well built and works nicely. I can't comment on any other of their products, but I am quite satisfied with my Movo gimbal head.

Good to know Thank you.
