Thanks!

I have to say, that gimbal is making me a little concerned. The screw that stabilizes the vertical rotation seems to be very thin, and I've also noticed the lens sliding forward on the arca plate (although this might be user error). However it all seems to be holding together for now. I may end up buying a pricier gimbal eventually.

When browsing for tripods, etc. I found these:https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Gimbal-Tripod-Head/912369198_10000002439084.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.195d251d15EToZ

The brand looks like something like a Leofoto clone.

 

This was more interesting for me and quite a bargain as small tripods like these are normally more expensive:

I use many small tripods in my now tucked away indoor macro setup. The ones I have today are not that good, so I purchased the ones above.

I hope they are as good as they look and in similar design as my Leofoto tripod.
