Hi Friends,
This is the Benro - GD3WH, I saw many users ask if we can provide this.
We hesitated a lot, as it's not designed by us. But at last, I persuade our boss.
If we can make it easier for our users, then we should help.
What's the difference between GD3WH and MSM Wedge?
GD3WH can be used to replace the MSM Wedge:
Its advantage is it can be controlled in 3 axes, and its high load capacity (6Kg).
Its disadvantage is, it's heavy. It weighs 740 grams.
The GD3WH will be ideal for landscape, microphotography, and astrophotography which require higher accuracy. So it is a reliable platform that can be shared between different gears! Including MSM Rotator.
I hope it helps, please let me know if you need any help on gears!

The controls are likely to conflict with your tripod base plate unless it is very small. I had to use another small ball head under it to get it high enough to use the controls. Still seems to work as advertised after the workaround. It took 30 days, to the day, to receive the order from MSM so plan accordingly.
Very Strong,Sturdy.Used on my Tripod is very precise for all aspects of Photography.Easy to mount MSM Rotator.
So far so good! Easier to do night sky photography.
On my first clear night I was able to laser align in seconds. Critical because of high volume of air traffic. Very few star trails. I think due to not being level to start. Very easy set up and use. Used a benro and a msm head. Seems the photo was toiling large to post here
After a short learning curve figuring out how the knobs work, zeroing in on the North celestial pole with the phone adapter was a snap. I would recommend the Benro 3 way to anyone using the phone mount to locate the North Star.
My tracker wasn't staying aligned using the MSM wedge, so I bought this. It works great! It can be hard to know which knob to turn, especially in the dark, but I'll learn. I love the precision of the adjustments, and it doesn't budge once aligned.
The Benro 3-Way Geared Head (GD3WH) is a great tripod head, I think it's ideal for MSM tracker star alignment.
Maximising the success while taking MilkyWay photos is and always will be a fine balance between Polar alignment and camera stability and if you don’t do both to the best oh your ability then the final image will suffer.
The Benro 3 Way Geared Head ticks both box’s stability and ease of use.
controlling the polar alignment with the BENRO GD3WH Is supper easy as it offers easy to use fine adjustments on all 3 axis’s without sacrificing stability or quality. it is fantastic quick and easy to use,.
as a result of using Benro 3 way Head my polar alignment has a precision thst I have never been able to achieve on a wedge or a ball-head and the quality of my final image has improved.
The biggest plus this compleat package brings to me personally is if I want to change my shooting position part way through I can, using the Benro 3Way Geard Head and the Move Shoot Move laser I compleat polar alinement in less lab 2 minutes.
Only used this item a couple of times but pleased with the results so far and have no reason to complain.
Works well for my pretty heavy camera.
