How stable it is with the center pole extended up, and how far does it extend? I would be doing Panos with Nodal Ninja. No flex or movement?

I have used the tripod with a Cannon 7d extended to about 7 feet. It was very stable and didn't flex during use. I did have my back pack suspended from the hook in the center shaft to provide additional ballast. That being said I am not overall happy with the product support. I have had a few problems that I solved myself because when I emailed the manufacturer they never replied. During a trip to NYC I stopped into Adorama who shipped the tripod to ask for some help. They referred me to a phone number in England where the company makes the tripod. The level bubble fell out and is lost. Nylon guides under the locking rings were not assembled straight and soon caused the legs to bind. I reassembled the shims the best I could. Otherwise this is the only tripod I will ever need. Just wish the company would answer emails and provide repair parts.

Hey there. First you should know I wound up returning my Jib. The head locked and I wasn't able to use it anymore. How long have you been using it? Have you had any issues with it being hard to pan or tilt? To answer your question.The release plate for the Manfrotto 501 is DIFFERENT from the one on the jib arm.

Not with the center column fully extended, low shots only, how high is up to your threshold. It became unstable with a 6D and 24-70 f/4 at full height, not exactly a heavy combo.

I have to agree with some of the others who have answered. I wouldn't touch this camera with a ten foot pole. I have two of them, neither has ever worked reliably.

I use a 5d mk3 with a medium L zoom lens on this device. Support is fine because the nodal point is also a good balance point. The position click stops are not as robust as I would like. Otherwise I find it sturdy and workable.

Mine is mounted to a custom 3/8 plexiglass plate With the handles removed, I was able to give my baseplate a small footprint (7x7). Plexiglass made it easy to see where I needed to drill for the hex lift opening.Someone suggested 1/4 plexiglass, which I think *might* flex slightly under the weight of this router. Several years ago I used 1/4 plexiglass on another router and got that result -- HOWEVER, it may be worth a shot. With the smaller 7x7 footprint, there may be no flex.

It is not overly sensitive. It moves nice and slow, but not so slow that it makes you crazy. The range of motion is great. I have had other monitors where the pan feature was basically worthless. I like this one a lot.

Infinite! You can adjust to the precise desirable height, within the confines of the mounting pole height. Depending on the size of your clients monitors it's merely a question of aesthetics, that is, how much of the mounting pole will be protruding above the monitors. However, I have dark monitors so everything blends nicely!

I built servers with the 2 boards i bought. They are rock stable with 8350's in them running vm's, with 32gb's ram in each. I am using on board video

No movement. You can watch some videos related to his model. Its pretty good for its price. Of course it will have some movements but not something really shaky. I have been using it for a while and its serving me pretty goo.

Harold: Bought my unit two weeks ago and just installed it last night. My desk too is up against a wall... and it works just fine. As you expand the unit for standing, the legs stay put on your desk but the monitor platform moves forward... so a wall is no obstacle. That help?

Hi Mark - I recently hung my 100+ lbs 65" Panasonic Plasma with this mount. It is without question the sturdiest mount I have ever used. As long as your hole spacing is less than the max listed, you should be good to go. I highly recommend this mount if your looking for a well built, extremely sturdy and customizable mounting solution.

It can be put up and taken down with a fair amount of ease. The longer it is up and used, the harder it can be to take down especially if you are using it in spin mode a lot. I have put mine up and down quite a few times and have had little to no problems. And I am doing some heavy tricks on it. (Shoulder mount to fonji and back for example ) It is a very god substitute to an X-pole.

Hi R. Jankowski,You should be able to untwist the extension joint in the middle a couple turns which will allow the GoScope to extend. If in the past you were able to extend the pole and now you can not please send a detailed explanation to support@go-scope.com.Thanks,Team GoScope

There are probably faster solutions than this if you plan on repeatedly rotating the monitor. Obviously there's not enough height on the pole to have the top monitor in portrait and the bottom in landscape. Its a matter of loosening a nut changing orientation and retightening the nut, however, I would wonder if repeated adjustments would wear out the tightening capabilities. I used it with one monitor only in landscape and had it sitting stacked on top of a freestanding monitor on an electric bench that raised and lowered from standing to sitting and in between with multiple height changes each day. For me the stand was great. There are probably faster solutions than this if you plan on repeatedly rotating the monitor.

Yes, it pans down pretty far. Not. 90 degrees though. Close. I bought a couple hundred for work. Very adjustable. Maybe google the 3m specs for degrees if motion in the theta axis to be sure or call them. 3m is very helpful. Bi think ergotron private labels this for 3m.

I've got a preview monitor that I use this with a handheld rig. The locking of all points in tighten down by the center handle.First thing is to tighten down the contenting point at either end and then lock down the system with the center handle. For the price I'm stoked with this unit, but if you want to spend some cash buy a bogen magic arm for $130.00 hope this helps. Will
