I've never heard of Rigor, but I'm impressed!

First of all, no one compensates this review, I didn't get it as a gift, I didn't get a refund for the positive review, I broke my old master 1/4 gimbal and went in search after something made stronger. After some research I decided to buy "pinless" universal joints. They are advertised as being made in Taiwan but there are no markings on the universal joints themselves. Quality seems solid compared to most well known brands. The latch hole is drilled through the bushing (see picture) which compares well to some who have only drilled it on one side. The stop ball is strong and the editing is well done. No corners and edges. I don't have the ability to measure the angle but it looks the same as my other gimbals (better than the picture). The holder is made of aluminum and the yellow part is made of plastic. I paid $20 for a set of these and for a gear wrench I paid about $45-50 for the same. Tekton doesn't offer a 1/4, and some other brands looked very bulky or cost as much as established brands. 1/2 seems a little less smooth than the other two, but it doesn't affect performance, so I don't care. They were well packaged in a sturdy little box. In general I am satisfied with them. I will update the review if I run into any problems later.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Functionality
