Merci pour eux, je transmettrais :)

Hi Paul, from left to right there are the Benro GD3WH - Sunwayfoto GH-PRO - Sunwayfoto GH-PRO II. Actually you can also take a look on geared heads from Leofoto which seems great options too !

Bonjour Pierre, je suis satisfait de la GH Pro II, bien plus que la I, qui au final possède un mécanisme un peu trop souple et globalement n'est pas aussi rigide. La GH-Pro II ne bouge pas et demeure un peu plus précise du coup et c'est celle ci que j'utilise le plus. Perso je ne mettrais pas une chambre de 4.5kg sur la I... Il y a aussi une nouvelle révision de la GH Pro II qui est sortie en 2020, en deux versions, une avec un étau panoramique classique et une avec ce étau réglable. Le tout un peu plus léger. Si tu cherches sur TH-cam, le photographe Ian Worth a fait une mini review de cette révision de rotule et il semble utiliser une chambre en 4x5, je tenterais peut être de lui poser la question sur youtube. J'ai vu par contre d'autres marques qui font des têtes comme la GH Pro I si ce design te plait, celle que j'ai considéré est la Leofoto G4. Au final je ne l'ai pas testé car j'ai acheté leur tête Leofoto G2, avec un base de nivèlement, qui pourrait peut être plus t’intéresser pour ta chambre d'ailleurs. Si tu souhaites laisse moi un contact en pv je peux t'envoyer quelques photos. Après pour la Benro, rien a dire c'est du costaud mais un peu moins élégant :D En gros j'utilise avec mes TSE sur mon grand trépied archi la GH Pro II et sur mon pied compact de voyage la Leofoto G2 avec une base de nivèlement LB60, achetés sur ebay chez un revendeur US.

Hey, the Benro is sturdy and works fine, i wouldn't recomand the GH Pro I over the Benro. But the GH Pro II would be a fine replacement if you workload isn't over 3kg imo

@@m4tik May I ask why GH Pro II is better then Pro I? Thanks!

@@QingyuLin the GH Pro had a little play in the gears after 2 years of using, it might be the wear. It's not dramatic but the GH Pro II seems more solid after the same timespan of use.. if ever you search for this kind of form factor like the GH Pro I, Leofoto G4 might be a better option.

Hi Paul, that's the now discontinued Sunwayfoto GH-PRO 2019 version. If you wish to aquire this kind of Arca Swiss D4 inspired head, you can look up for a Leofoto G4 (which i didn't had the chance to test, but i'm owning a Leofoto G2 that is pretty good)

Hi, i would definitly go for the PRO II. It's much more sturdy. Do you need the precision ? With such a lens i would rather opt for a Gimbal Head :)

The bracket doesn't fit, the benro clamp is too tight. I worked the clamp with a file tool to be able to use it...

@@m4tik Does smallrig's bracket fit in the sunwayfoto geared head?

have you found what you was looking for?

@@whateutube Yes, I'm using the VH-30R head from Leofoto. This is not a geared head but the horizontal and vertical adjustments are still independent from each other. Highly recommend this head, works great! I have coupled it with a Leofoto tripod with a build in leveling base LS-324CEX. Highly recommend as well. It lets you level the head in a breeze. Great for panoramas too.

@@pascalhibon7928 that's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

@@pascalhibon7928 If it can hold a d850 and 70-200 should be able to hold my rb67....hmmm might be purchasing

@@itachi_shakur893 Well it can not hold my D850 stable in windy weather. I have since moved on to use a Leofoto VH-30R. Very happy with that head!

Hi Ben, got my GH Pro2 2 weeks ago-same thing had to wait for stocks to come. You will luv it. It is a piece of art. same quality as an Arca Swiss D4 yet a third the price!

Mike Lee Photography , same quality? Not even close. I have both.

@@juliussternfeld428 having used both, would you consider the GH Pro 2 a good gear head for product photography for the price? I am trying to decide between that and a manfrotto 410+ arcswiss conversion. Thanks!

Hi, my version do not move when locked down. This head is pretty stiff. Maybe they have manufacturing variations in their samples, i can't tell, i am happy so far. But still the locking mechanism is not very firm, so it can get loose when you touch it slightly.

@@m4tik Thanks for the info. That's not gonna work for me. It has to be rock solid.

The second version seems sturdier but a little less compact, but in real use it may be not significant. Also the construction is even better, the feel is great, the knobs and overall use is still quite stiff, which is good for heavier lenses. For the price it seems, after my first use, to be an excellent deal !

C’était un mélange entre une BMCC en fixe et des A7SII en mobile, avec une gopro qui trainait ^^

@@m4tik merci ! et bien c'est propre !

Hi Joe, it still works pretty fine, the gears are a little less stiff. In the meantime i bought the GH-Pro 2 and will publish a comparative video soon.

No horizontal adjustments possible. You'll need something like the Arca Swiss Cube C1.

thank you for your help @@m4tik

Everything is metal.

@@m4tik Thank you. So this is the latest of the three version made ? Seems there is a little bit confusion about hardware upgrades through sellers in EU right now.

@@az779k apparently this is the latest version. I agree, it's hard to get the right info...

What do you mean by "gearing" issues?

GO TO world.taobao.com/ AND SEARCH THE KEY WORD 'Sunwayfoto GH Pro', THEN YOU'LL SEE.

I'm using a SmallRig L-Bracket 2122. Sunwayfoto provides a DDH-05 Panoramic Panning Clamp with the head, you can change it, but make sure that the anti twist mount on the back on the clamp is the same on both systems.

Hi Mike, it's all metal. Quality wise everything is neat and well made/adjusted.

Thanks it looks "Quality"

Meant to ask does it come with the arca swiss type plate?

@@MikeLeePhoto nope, sadly there was no plate included.

Hi Vincent, i am still pretty happy with the head, it works well on daily basis and i have any issues so far. The precise and easy adjustement is very convenient ! I'm planning to buy another one for my travel tripod too.

@@m4tik thank you

Hi Tacey, they will loosen up with some use :)

@@m4tik I'm actually wondering if I got a knock-off version ... mine has red on the knobs. Any idea?

@@taceyjungmann3187 maybe it's another révision ? I bought the v2 of this head, i mean it was listed as a v2 :)

You have the pre 2017 version. @@taceyjungmann3187

Do you get any dead spots in he knobs?

Hi can you advise what plate you can use on this head as am thinking of buying both very soon. Will be using Canon gear. Thanks

xMFDxx the lens had the, 1.03 firmware version. I don't own the Sigma anymore.

krio gene en théorie oui, en pratique ca peut donner du vignietage car ça va commencer à faire une sacrée épaisseur. Ça sera très dépendant de l'objectif.

Know I wanna hit the water but I'm working

also violin adds a plus to the whole concept ;)
