Ultra-Lightweight Gimbal Performance for Travel and Mobility

The Jobu Design BWG-J3KDLX Jr.3 Deluxe Kit is the ultimate lightweight gimbal solution for photographers who prioritise portability without sacrificing performance. Weighing just 680g (1.5lbs), it delivers exceptional smoothness and strength in a compact form—ideal for travel and field use.

Built for Travel, Designed for Performance

If you're travelling light or working under strict weight limits, the Jr.3 Deluxe is a perfect companion. While larger gimbals like the HD4 are recommended for daily heavy-duty use, the Jr.3 DLX shines when every gram counts.
