What is the difference between the GKJr Katana Pro and the GK Katana GImbal Head?

The main difference between the two models is the size. The Katana Pro is more portable due to its smaller footprint.

If you have extremely large lenses and heavy setup, then the GK Katana is for you. But, if you value portability, then the GKJr Katana Pro is the one.
Will the clamp work with other brands?

Yes, the GK Katana and GKJr Katana Pro has a regular Arca-swiss clamp that allows you to use any camera accessories that has an Arca-swiss plate.
What is a side clamp gimbal?

It works by having the camera pivot up and down by its side while panning left to right through the gimbal mount.

The perfect gimbal for big lens photography.

Photographing wildlife in early morning and late evening light demands rock solid support. This gimbal on a Pro Media Gear tripod is the best I’ve used in 20 years in the field. I liked it so much I bought 2 tripods (a 324 and a 424) and the Katana Pro Jr. as well so I could have a light rig for those longer hikes and a heavy duty rig for the short hikes and ultimate stability when using my 600 and 800 mm lenses. I own a few other gimbal heads, but these are the best.

Perfect gimbal in every way ! A real feat !

I am really very happy and more than satisfied with my purchase. Excellence at all levels ! Comfort of use, very high-end finish, irreproachable quality, smoothness and precision of the mechanisms. Everything is perfect ! The centering and balance of my equipment, the firmness of the safe tightenings, the absence of vibrations, the fluidity of the panoramics... The pinnacle ! BRAVO to the whole team for this marvel of engineering.

Katana Gimbal Head

It colors my world. I wish I had this head a long time ago. It's my first gimbal head and I will never leave home without it. The first time I've installed my Nikkor 500mm f/5.6 on it with my D-850, many other photographers came close to me and even give it a try. Thanks again!
