one of the leading manufacturers of
Professional Tripods and Monopods.

design team with valuable input from photographers, dealers
and engineers. The demands of photographers are always
changing and the only way to keep ahead of these changes
is to have a design team that understands the needs of
photographers. That is why Induro has a team of designer/

Induro Professional Gimbal Heads
Induro GHB1 Gimbal Head
When using long, heavy telephoto lenses for sports or nature
photography, standard panheads and ballheads aren’t the
optimum solution. Induro Gimbal Heads are designed to make
vertical and horizontal tracking of fast moving objects quick
and easy. They’re the ideal choice for serious photographers.
When you need a compact, portable gimbal head, the GHB1
provides outstanding results at an unbeatable price. The
GHB1 head has a 3/8–16 thread base mount.
Balancing a camera/lens system by positioning the equipment
at it’s center of gravity makes it essentially “weightless,” allowing
your equipment to stay in place – at any angle or position – without
needing to be “locked down.” This provides a level of control, and
freedom of movement not possible with any other support system.
Of course, if you wish to fix the horizontal or vertical position,
oversize lock knobs make it easy – even with gloves.
Induro GHB2 Gimbal Head
When you need the maximum degree of control and flexibility,
there is no better choice than the Induro GHB2 Gimbal Head.
The GHB2’s convenient calibrated vertical scale and height
adjustable lens platform makes it easy to consistently position
your camera/lens combination at the right position for
repeatable results and perfect balance. The GHB2 head has
a 3/8-16 thread base mount.
• Rugged design and construction
• Smooth, fast tracking horizontally and vertically
• Portable, compact design
• Smooth, fast tracking horizontally and vertically
• Separate panning movement for total control
• Includes Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate
Induro GHBA Gimbal Head
Simply slide the GHBA into the quick release platform
of a heavy-duty ballhead and you’re ready for action!
The ultra‑compact GHBA is designed to be attached to
professional ballheads* (like the Induro BHD-Series) that
accept Arca-Swiss style quick release plates.
• Ultra-compact design
• Fits on high-performance ballheads* (like the Induro
BHD-Series) that accept Arca-Swiss compatible quick
release plates (ballhead sold separately)
• Includes Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate
* Ballhead and tripod must be capable of supporting the weight of the
camera/lens outfit. The ballhead must be a dual-action design with
separate panning lock knob.
• Calibrated scale for repeatable positioning of lenses
• Horizontal adjustment of the lens platform allows
precise positioning to find the center of gravity of any
size lens and camera system
• Separate panning movement for total control
• Includes Arca-Swiss compatible quick release plate
