Another innovative product, and available only from Really Right Stuff. This "Pano-Gimbal" head represents years of design work and multiple prototypes. It has been field tested in Alaska and Africa with all kinds of gear and with all kinds of shooters.

NOTE: All images on this page show our PG-02 LLR (PG-02 Head with B2 LLR II clamp) but the item for pre-order on this page is actually the PG-02 Pro/L (PG-02 Head with B2-Pro/L clamp). Images of the PG-02 Pro/L are coming soon.

This is a patent-pending modular head: quickly remove the Vertical Arm from the Horizontal Bar for superior portability; no tools required. The PG-02 delivers precision smooth panning and rock solid lockup. Use to shoot 360° panoramas with any lens. Or throw on your 600mm lens for effortless tracking of birds and wildlife.

Our PG-02 Panning-Gimbal head is available with a variety of quick-release clamps:

1. PG-02 LLR with B2 LLR II lever-release style quick-release clamp
2. PG-02 LR with B2 AS II lever-release style quick-release clamp
3. PG-02 Pro/L with B2-Pro/L screw-knob style quick-release clamp

The PG-02 LLR includes one each PG-02 HB (horizontal bar), PG-02-VA (vertical arm), and B2 LLR II clamp. Top of PG-02 VA has single female socket tapped 3/8"-16. Use this socket to mount a small ballhead for optional gear: a backup camera, a video camera, or audio gear.
