BALANCED CAMERA

AND LENS SUPPORT

While a sturdy ballhead can

manage a super-tele lens, a

gimbal head like the Eagle

Series E-6H from Fotopro

provides superior support with

a balanced center of gravity

and allows for smooth move-

ments as you track your

subject. The head is available

separately or included with the

Eagle Series EGL-94 (four-sec-

tion, 63-inch max. height) and

$1,099 (EGL-65 tripod and

E-6H head); $449 (E-6H head
