Darren, I'll send you some other shots & a fuller description off list.
Probably Wednesday because I have to take the Hyundai to Tzaneen for service
tomorrow .

Alan,
Do you have any other views of your DIY gimbal? Does your quick
release plate slide in a slot, to provide center of gravity for
various lens lengths? Or how is that done?

Wow. VERY nice, Alan.
Definitely need to add this to my list of projects that I never quite
complete.

A gimbal needn't break the bank. This self made gimbal head (a copy of a
Manfrotto 393) cost me about $10 and a few hours work. The imported quick
release plate cost $8 of that. I started with a Linhof pan-and tilt head
which has a good pan mechanism & spirit level which I retained. The tilt
mechanism lever was removed & replaced with an Allen screw, tightened to
lock it solid. The gimbal head was then mounted on the existing flange.
All
made from scrap & works like a bomb.
