Precision Tracking for Action Shots
The PG-1 allows photographers to follow moving subjects smoothly, whether you are shooting birds in flight or athletes in motion. Its balanced gimbal design keeps the camera stable while allowing quick, responsive adjustments during tracking.
Stable Base for Heavy Lenses
With a 60 mm base diameter and the ability to support up to 25 kg, the PG-1 provides a stable platform for heavy lenses. This stability reduces micro-movements that could affect image sharpness, especially when shooting at long focal lengths or in challenging environments.

At just 1 kg, the PG-1 is lightweight for travel and field photography. It comes with a padded zippered carrying bag for easy transport, making it simple to move between locations while maintaining a professional support system for your camera and lens.
Accessory-Ready Design
Two 1/4"-20 accessory threads on the swing arm allow for attaching articulating arms, monitors, or other essential tools. This keeps your setup organized and versatile, expanding creative possibilities without compromising balance or stability.
