Wimberley WH-200 Wimberley Gimbal Head II - Made in USA

Stable base for camera and lens

This gimbal head is very sturdy and robust.

I learned ball-heads are lousy support mechanisms for large lenses (Nikon 300mm f 2.8) up in Glacier National park last year. When you consider the physics involved it makes sense: the torque against a long lens supported at some random focal point has to be much greater than the weight of the lens itself. So when I finally learned about this magnificent Gimbal Head (quite by accident), well.... The logic was overwhelming. And it works so well (balanced support! What a concept)! I did have to order a different plate (P30) for my lens, so I recommend that anyone seriously considering go to Wimberley website and discover whats suitable for your specific needs.... Anyway, the new rig is pretty heavy, but damn, its so incredibly sturdy and stable (p.s., using with a MePhoto Tripod).

This is a wonderful piece of equipment especially for taking pictures with a long lens in low light. Works so much better than a ball head. Should have purchased it a long time ago.

Still early days but the rig is sturdy and the material and design is great.

This is a wonderful head, but had some problems with the tightning knob on the receiver. I could not unscrew to release my lens foot. Had to force the knob & ruin it to be able to remove my 500mm lens. Wimberly honored the defect & sent a new swing base!

The Wimberley WH-200 was a great purchase. Very well made easy to setup and balance lens. Very smooth movement and steady as a rock.

Super smooth, quick to setup, works like a champ on my Benro tripod!

This is the head to have with a large, heavy lens. Easy, incredibly smooth motion, easy to clamp down. Pricey but worth the money. I wouldnt like to use a 500mm or 600mm lens without it.

Awesome product and works great with my Induro tripod. The combination has taken away a lot of camera shake.
