Short vs Long Gimbal Handles

[Loren Hamilton 0]

My apologies if this is already a topic on the Forum, but I was curious as to if there are any pros/cons of using either type of gimbal handle, other than obviously having more of an area to hold for longer handles. Is it just personal preference on feel, or are there benefits to having one over the other for certain shots or for how you move with the rig? 

Thanks

I personally like the longer handle because I have more clearance for viewing my monitor.

I use an XCS gimbal with an Ergo handle. While the Ergo handle has the added benefit of having the same hand position for high or low mode, any long handle will likely give you a better view of your monitor and be more comfortable.
