Yconion LGH38CBC44 Litchi Gimbal Head for Super Telephoto Lenses

Managing the weight and inertia of a large super-telephoto lens is the greatest challenge in wildlife and sports photography. The Yconion LGH38CBC44 Litchi Gimbal Head is engineered specifically to solve this problem, converting the cumbersome weight of your gear into a fluid, perfectly balanced extension of your own movement. It allows you to track unpredictable subjects like birds in flight or athletes in motion with fingertip control, providing a grace and precision that ball heads simply cannot match.

Crafted from a single block of CNC-machined aluminum alloy, the Litchi head offers exceptional strength and rigidity without unnecessary weight, making it a reliable companion for expeditions in the field. Its open-cradle design and adjustable vertical arm allow for perfect balancing of large lens and camera combinations, ensuring the rig stays put at any angle without needing to be locked down. For photographers who demand absolute control and stability to capture fleeting moments, the Yconion Litchi head is an indispensable tool for achieving critically sharp images.

Key Features

  • 25 kg Maximum Payload:Confidently mount professional camera bodies with heavy super-telephoto lenses like 600mm f/4 or 800mm f/5.6.
  • Fluid Motion Dynamics:Provides exceptionally smooth, controlled tilt and pan movements, essential for tracking fast-moving, erratic subjects without jitter.
  • CNC Aluminum Construction:Machined from a single piece of aerospace-grade aluminum for maximum strength, vibration damping, and durability in harsh environments.
  • Full 360° Panning Base:Features a laser-engraved panoramic scale and an independent pan lock for creating seamless, high-resolution panoramic images.
  • Universal Arca-Swiss System:The integrated quick-release clamp is compatible with the industry-standard Arca-Swiss plates, ensuring broad compatibility with your existing gear.
  • Adjustable Balancing Arm:The vertical sliding arm allows for precise fore-aft balancing of your camera and lens, finding the true center of gravity for effortless handling.
  • Oversized Control Knobs:Ergonomically designed knobs are easy to grip and operate with precision, even while wearing gloves in cold conditions.
  • Integrated Bubble Level:A built-in spirit level on the clamp ensures your compositions are perfectly level with the horizon, saving correction time in post-production.

Why YC Onion Litchi Gimbal Head Is Better

While standard ball heads struggle with the cumbersome nature of large lenses, and many entry-level gimbals suffer from stick-slip motion, the Yconion LGH38CBC44 Litchi head stands apart. Its design prioritizes true fluid-like motion over simple friction-based tension. This results in superior, predictable tracking without the frustrating micro-jerks that can ruin a critical shot. Unlike competitors that use cast or multi-part bolted construction, the Litchi's unibody CNC-machined frame eliminates potential weak points, providing a more rigid and stable platform that effectively dampens vibrations from both shutter shock and environmental factors. This commitment to superior mechanics and materials delivers a tangible improvement in handling and image sharpness.

FAQs - Yconion LGH38CBC44 Litchi Gimble Head

Q: What is the maximum weight this gimbal head can safely handle?
A: The Yconion Litchi head is rated for a maximum payload of 25 kg. This is more than enough for professional DSLRs or mirrorless cameras with large super-telephoto lenses like a 600mm f/4.
Q: Is this gimbal head compatible with my Gitzo/Manfrotto tripod?
A: Yes, it features a standard 3/8"-16 mounting thread on its base, which is the industry standard for most professional and heavy-duty tripods, including those from Gitzo and Manfrotto.
Q: Does it come with an Arca-Swiss plate?
A: Yes, this kit includes one 150mm long Yconion P150 Arca-Swiss compatible quick-release plate, which is ideal for balancing long lenses.
Q: What is the primary advantage of a gimbal head over a ball head?
A: A gimbal head keeps a heavy lens balanced on its center of gravity, allowing you to pan and tilt it effortlessly with one finger. A ball head holds the lens with friction, making smooth tracking of moving subjects very difficult.
Q: Is the Yconion LGH38CBC44 weather-sealed?
A: While it is made from corrosion-resistant aluminum and designed for outdoor use, it does not have official IP-rated weather sealing. You should protect it from heavy rain and dust as you would with any precision equipment.
Q: How difficult is it to balance a lens on this head?
A: It's straightforward. You adjust the vertical arm to align the lens's optical axis with the tilt axis, then slide the Arca-Swiss plate forward or backward to find the center of gravity. Once balanced, the lens will stay at any angle without support.
Q: Can I use this gimbal head for shooting video?
A: While it provides smooth panning and tilting, it is not a true fluid video head. It lacks the adjustable drag controls of a dedicated video head, so results may vary. It's primarily designed for stills photography.
Q: What is the warranty period for this product in India?
A: As an authorised dealer, we provide a 3-Year Official Indian Warranty against any manufacturing defects, serviced within India.
Q: Will I receive a GST invoice for my purchase?
A: Absolutely. We provide a proper GST-compliant invoice with every order, which you can use for claiming Input Tax Credit if you are a business.
Q: Will my Canon RF 100-500mm or Nikon Z 180-600mm lens work well with this head?
A: Yes, this head is a perfect match for those lenses. It provides the stability and smooth motion needed to handle them effectively, especially at their longer focal lengths.
Q: How much does the head itself weigh?
A: The head weighs approximately 1.35 kg, offering a great balance between strength and portability for fieldwork.
Q: Is the panning base indexed or smooth?
A: The panning base has a smooth, fluid motion for tracking subjects. It also features a laser-engraved 360-degree scale for reference when shooting panoramas.
Q: Are the control knobs easy to use with gloves on?
A: Yes, the knobs are oversized and have a textured, rubberized grip, making them easy to operate precisely even when wearing winter gloves.
Q: Can I mount my camera body directly to the gimbal?
A: Yes, if you have an Arca-Swiss compatible L-bracket or plate on your camera body, you can mount it directly for vertical or horizontal compositions without a lens.
Q: What is the included carrying case like?
A: The gimbal head comes with a high-quality, padded soft case with a zipper and handle, designed to protect the head during transport and storage.
