BLACK WIDOW LIGHTWEIGHT
If you have been frustrated using your current ball-head to support your heavy lenses, then you will find it miraculous how well balanced, simple, and safe the Black widow gimbal (BWG) really is. The Jobu Design Black Widow Gimbal is tough, robust and easy to operate in all kinds of conditions.Special Features Include:
Ergonomically designed, indestructible, thermoplastic clamping knobs. These feature a wide grip and smooth contours that are easy on the hands. The high-profile 6-lobe design allows for ease of use and strong clamping, even with gloves on.
NOW LIGHTER! 2.5lb Total Weight. Keeps your backpack light for travelling.
All weather design. From the hard powder-coated support arm, to the stainless steel shafts, to the black anodized clamp, the finish will endure the worst a photographer can throw at it.
Light weight yet High Strength. Strength and weight are optimized so that the BWG can carry a monster 600 F4 lens, yet be light enough to carry to shooting locations without undue stress on your shoulders.
Maintenance free design. The BWG requires no maintenance for the life of the product. Nylon bushings will never wear out, and heavy-duty waterproof grease is used to create the silky-smooth operation.
The Black Widow Gimbal is Easy to mount to your tripod. You will be up and running in a few minutes of opening the box.
New IMPROVED QR Clamp! The newest version of our CNC-machined clamp allows improved one-handed loading of the Black Widow with automatically opening jaws.
NEW HORIZONTAL LOCKOUT KNOB! The horizontal tilt motion can now be locked out for complete safety. Whether for transporting over your shoulder, or for changing cameras without removing your lens, the NEW lockout knob will stop the head from moving.

Newly redesigned and stiffened horizontal mount swing-arm for better control.

Newly designed low-profile lockout switch (locks tilt movement for travel).
Minimal weight penalty over current BWG-HD, current build weight is 3.5lbs.

FLASH SIDEMOUNT
The newest addition to our flash bracket family is also the smallest! Weighing in at a measly 4oz (100g), this flyweight still packs a punch!

Featuring:
A super tough anodized finish
Stainless steel components
Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release (fits any double-dovetail lensplates)
Flash shoe mounts for most common off-shoe cords (Canon, Nikon, etc.)
Spring loaded quick release with retained knobs.
Size: 3.5" x 7" x 3/4"

Requirements:
This product is intended for SIDEMOUNT gimbal heads (Jobu Jr. 2, BWG-LW, Kirk King Cobra, Mongoose, etc.).
A double-dovetail mounting plate is required for the quick release to function. Most modern mounting plates use double dovetails now (our own Surefoot plates, RRS, Kirk, Wimberley, etc.)
An off-shoe flash cord (or wireless adapter) is required.
An adapter is required for fit to the Nikon SC-29 off-shoe cord. This cord is different in shape and size than the SC-17 or SC-28 cords. Expected delivery date for our adapters is March 14th.

FIT:
This is the smallest flash bracket we make. It centers the flash approximately 3" from the mounting surface of the tripod collar-foot. This makes it suitable for 300mm F4, 100-400mm zoom, 400 F5.6 and other smaller lenses.

FLASH TOPMOUNT
Very important for reducing "RED-EYE" in your subjects. Even small birds can show red-eye or at least unnatural looking hot-spots when a low-level flash is used.
The bracket is 11" tall placing most flashes approximately 12" away from the centre of the lens. For use with a telephoto lens and TOP-MOUNT gimbal style head (or any ballhead).
The quick-release system mounts to any arca-swiss compatible plate, including our own SureFoot Plates. You MUST use a double-dovetail plate, or an adapter on an older style plate.
A rubberized grip provides a more comfortable place to hold the bracket while positioning.
Extremely lightweight! Only 7.9oz (220 grams) Black anodized aircraft aluminum and all stainless steel hardware for extreme outdoor use.
REQUIRED: Mounts to off-camera shoe cords or remote slaves with a standard 1/4"-20 thread. (You must somehow connect the flash to the camera... keep that in mind!)
Important: An adapter is required for use with the Nikon SC-29 shoe cord. See FB-NK1
