The Lensmaster Gimbal is easy to maintain simply wash in warm soapy water dry and add a little grease to the outer bearings. The super smooth main bearings and shaft are maintenance free and never need oil or grease.
There are 2 Aluminium models to choose from the lightweight RH-1 Sidemount or the RH-2 full gimbal .
As with the RH-2 The RH-1 sidemount has its own rotating collar so no ballhead is required both models do exactly the same job and it really is personal preference over which one you chose weight been the biggest factor followed by how the lens / camera attaches, as long as care is taken neither is any safer than the other too mount the lens, side mounting just feels a little more awkward, more so with a heavy lens until your use to it ,with either it is essential the lens is clamped before letting go also with a sidemount you do need a lens that has a rotating
collar.
Note
A sidemount Gimbal needs a lens fitted with a rotating collar .
Each Gimbal is hand made assembled and fully tested before being shipped. The maximum load for the RH-1 and RH-2 is 10kg the sidemount RH-1 has been tested up to 50 LBS static load and the RH-2 has been tested to 100 LBS static load.
