It finally arrived - well built and easy to put together but quite fiddly to balance the camera and lens - the C of G needs to be precisely matched to the gimbal. There are three slides to do this but they are quite stiff and need to be adjusted by sliding them by hand - no fine adjustment by screw thread. Once balanced the gimbal works flawlessly. Downsides - It does not support the D610 electronically so you cannot use the time lapse function or handle shutter button. The forwards / backwards slide has limited travel backwards due to the rear bearing so cameras with the tripod mount set near the rear of the camera are impossible to balance with large lenses unless you can fit a conterweight or an offsetting bracket to bring the camera / lens C of G back. So the only lens I have at the moment that will work is my 35-70. The gimbal has a a follow focus motor which needs a toothed belt fitted to the focus ring - on the 35-70 this is just a thin ring at the front of the lens and impossible to keep the belt on! There is also a problem if the lens you want to use is not internally focussing as any upsetting of the C of G will throw the balance off - the gimbal will still work but the effort required from the motors increases and battery life decreases.
