FAQ
Is it overkill for my lens? - For most F4 pro-sumer sized lenses, it is not necessary to have this level of stiffness due to the minimal weight of the lenses. However, a lens like the Nikon 200-400 F4 is actually 7lbs without a camera, so we would recommend it in this case.
Is the BWG-Pro bigger and harder to pack? The BWG-Pro is only slightly heavier than our current BWG-HD model and is the same overall dimensions (LxWxH).
Why do you not use ball bearings in the panning axis? We have analyzed several different solutions to the panning axis and we found most users prefer the solid locking capability incorporated into the delrin bushing. The friction level in the delrin base bushing is still very low and allows 100% lockout to prevent rotation of the unit when carried over your shoulder. Please note this is NOT a cheap solution in the design, as the design and implementation of the delrin bushing is far more expensive than a pair of ball bearings.
Will the BWG-Pro bearings rust? All of our bearings are double sealed and grease impregnated. We do not anticipate any chance of corrosion for the life of the product.
