My son shoots DSLR video for a living and periodically he has asked me to shoot an event, like a school play, as a second, usually from the back. With the 7D and 70-200 2.8 lens on the ball head, it is a little tough to keep it level when panning or changing views, so I\'m also expecting this gimbal head to help a lot with this.
Thanks
A full gimbal head is an overkill for a 70-200 lens (IMO)

It may prove to be so. My primary intended setup will be outdoor with the 400mm 5.6 pens and 1.4X or 2X entender with liveview focusing. Shooting video with the 70-200 is only a secondary usage, keepng things more orthagonal when panning. I also have a few telescopes I may try out with it.
