> 3 dayExcellent product! Very well made and camera movement is very smooth with this device. It cost a bit more than some of the cheap ones out there BUT it’s worth every penny. I would trust this producer with my expensive equipment.

> 3 dayWOW! I had the head kicking around for a couple of weeks and was debating why I spent so much and was I going to use it, etc. Had some awesome spring bird opportunities develop from my deck and quickly figured out why people pay so much for this head...its AMAZING! I couldnt believe the ease with which I was able to adjust for quickly moving birds shots as they flitted from tree to tree! I got lazy and tried to leave it on for some panoramas on a sloping grade vs putting my ball-head back on. Ball-head is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon as this Wimberley definitely meets a specific need. Still, for birds, it is fantastic and Im very glad I dropped the $ for it!

> 3 dayThis is a very fine precision high quality gimble head. I use it for my Nikon 200mm f/2.0 and 600mm f/4.0 lenses on Induro carbon fiber tripods. Ive not owned any other brands of gimble heads so have nothing to compare it to but this is so well designed and well built if I need another I wouldnt consider another brand. Its perfect and worth the price.

> 3 dayI 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).

> 3 dayWorth every dime. Bought a cheaper gimbal and hated it. The Wimberley is beyond good -- its wondrous and has made a huge difference when using my Canon 500 mm lens. As sturdy as an anvil. Dont waste your money on cheap knock-offs.

> 3 dayThe perfect camera tripod head. Not the most portable but certainly the best and cannot be beat for using a long lens. I also have the Really Right Stuff 55 ball head that works very well with shorter lenses.
