We purchased the the Gimboom when we bought our Manfrotto MVG300XM gimbal. It's kinda made for that gimbal. We also bought the extra legs you can add on. Keep in mind, you still need the handle to set-up the gimbal. So, if you don't attach it to the Gimboom, you'll still want to keep it on you for adjustments on the fly. What I typically do when operating the Gimboom with the gimbal is, screw the small tripod that came with the gimbal on to the bottom on the handle. Then, you pull off the rubber pad on the bottom of the Gimboom and attach the small plate that came with the gimbal on to the bottom of the Gimboom. This then allows you to attach the handle to the bottom of the Gimboom. This whole rig can get heavy after repeated use. So, with the small tripod on the bottom you can stand up the rig to give you arms a rest. The tripod won't keep the rig erect buy itself so you keep one hand on it lightly just to keep it from falling over. This also gives you a little added reach for higher jib moves. What is nice about this set-up is, you get control of the Manfrotto MVG300XM gimbal while you're doing moves so, you can pan, tilt, change gimbal functions, etc. When I have the extra dual legs on the Gimboom, I keep the gimbal control handle in my hand and leave the rubber pad on the Gimboom. It won't work as a "tripod" with the handle attached. Of course, the dual legs assembly does not have to be removed. The legs just fold up and you can still use the Gimboom as a small jib. It's a very versatile set-up. For some super cool examples of moves using the Gimboom, see Brand Li's review.

I ordered one through Manfrotto, and can't wait to use it, this thing is a game changer, I use my monopod mostly and gimbal for filming details, I think with the extra extension I have more freedom of using my gimbal, one thing I should've not invested is the Manfrotto gimbal 460 kits, I wish I've invested in getting the DJI RS2, unfortunately, the software for the Manfrotto gimbal is a disaster, the build quality I would say is even better than DJI, don't get me wrong I love DJI products, they have much better software support system than Manfrotto, otherwise, you can't go wrong with Manfrotto products, thanks for the video, between the price jacked up I got it for 218$ with taxes, it was around 187$ before, Manfrotto knows how to take your money hehe, happy filming.

Nice. How much weight it can hold bro. A camera with zoom lens on a moza air 2 (which is a bit heavy) - can it hold that much weight without breaking?
