Yes
I have the above unit , Not used it for years since I sold my 600 F4
I now want to use it again with a 500 F4 but think I may have a bit missing ???
The question is how does it fit to the tripod , No mention in the instruction leaflet
A photo would be very helpful
Thanks

Take your ballhead off the tripod and screw the GH2 on as you would a ball head.
It has the 3/8 receiver for the standard 3/8 tripod bolt.

Pics as requested. The first one is a bit blurry but I'm sure you'll get the gist.

OK bottom shot

If you unbolt and remove the metal sleeve the gimbal should just attach straight on to your tripod.

That collar looks like it fitted into a tripod at some point then that was locked in judging by the marks on it. half circles.

Well after months of head scratching the penny dropped :rolleyes:

All I needed to do was take out the centre column

That seems an odd way to mount any type of tripod head!
