i will be purchasing one of these but i also have a question. is that a rubber band? the reason i ask is, i live in Belize and our climate tends to rot most everything rather quickly. if this band were to break, can it be replaced with any rubber band? thanks!

Hello! Nice video. I just purchase the Wimberley Gimball MH-200 brand new from B&H, for my Canon FD 800mm F5.6 L lens, weight around 9.4 lb, total weight with my camera, extenders, about 14 lb. Which Quick Release plate length and thickness (1 1/2" or 1 5/8" double dove) you would recommend to get it properly balanced and also be able to carry the whole rig over my shoulder securly? All mounted on a Gitzo 410 R studex tripod.I know it's very heady, need to loose weight. I do have an RRS 7.5" QR Plate but not sure it will be enough. Someone recommended me to get a 250mm plate!! Need an expert's opinion.. Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks Clay

What does one lose by not having the swing arm?

I put color coded index marks on the clamp and my lens mounting plate for the fore and aft balance. I put the same on the vertical slider. Now no matter which lens I use I can quickly get it in to almost perfect balance. It might take a tiny bit of adjustment, if any. For example I might use red marks for the 70-200 and blue marks for the 100-400, and so on.

Where did the black slide rack come from? Is that supplied with the gimbal head? The one I have is much smaller than that. Also, how do you balance with a zoom lens? The center of gravity changes as it zooms.

OMG - just cut a dovetail in your part.

Thanks for providing a clear demonstration of the 2 types of Wimberley gimbals. Until I saw your video I wasn't clear how the sidekick version would function.

Great job! Made in USA, and very well engineered.

Why not ALSO show us how to remove the Head. I have never been able to get my WH-200 off from the tripod.

How to turn a 35 second video in to 8:27...

Didn't know one couldn't use the WH-200 for shorter lenses. I use mine with Canon 100mm and 180mm macro lenses to follow insects on flowers.

This foot is rock solid and totally eliminates the chance of the original foot coming off by accident. Excellent quality and finish.

Seriously ?.. I mean that little bs100 1/4 to 3/8th adapter could have been part of the package. It ooks cheap from the Company doing so. Nice video otherwise and probably the most praised Gimbal head by wildlife pros and amateurs alike.

Hi, what tripodmodel is used with the Wimberley Sidekick in the video?

Thank you! Perfect for what I had in mind. I just ordered one.

It seems like a strange thing to do but it installed just as described and it feels solidly tight.

I just installed it on my Nikon 500 PF and it worded perfectly. You have to tighten the screw down very tight to make certain it fits flush on the left side but once I did it all worked as described. Works great.

Interesting, keep shooting! I see the channel is developing, and there are still not many subscribers ... If you need promotion, I advise the Utify.io service. xd

Why didn’t you dovetail your foot then lock it down with single screw?

Where do we buy this roll pin? Thank you!

Wimberly team... I picked mine up about 2 months ago. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. The only thing I would change? I need mm scale on the side of the plates. The balance is different if I have the lens hood on, or an L plate, or a different combination on camera lens....of course... but once I know where to set it, I could just always get back to that spot if there were mm markings on the side of the base and side riser, too. Just a thought. (I'd even buy another one just to have that to be honest :) )

Why are they so damn expensive?

Skip to 4:00 if you want to know what time it is instead of how to build a watch.

loved the real world use on this one - excellent demonstration... with a little extra flavor. Very nice work!

PLAMP GANG ALL DAY

Hi, For these Wimberley WH-200 Version II, what types of Tripods is compatible with it ??

Great tips, thank you!

Just got mine. It's amazing! Well worth the cost!

I have a Canon 100-400mm. The length of the lens will change. Is a gimbal head a wise option for lenses that change length?

Awesome, you need ambassadors on Instagram or want to do give aways, contact me steel(add)zeelandnet.nl . Instagram account @jens_stahl

I still don't understand, why do we need that pin inside?

I have no problem using my WH200 for smaller lenses, even a little pancake 50mm prime. I rarely find a use for a ballhead anymore. I even use the WH200 gimbal for a cheap little camcorder, point and shoot, and binoculars. It pans and tilts smoother than any video fluid head! Well worth the expense for any serious photographer. It's heavy when paired with a seriously stout tripod, and I don't mind that for most shoots. Only for travel and backpacking I'll take something lighter. One of the best investments ever for photography.

Found this very useful. Thanks Carl.

What kind off bearings are inside the head??????

Well done. Most videos don't address the vertical adjustment for center of gravity. Thanks!

Thanks for the demo, I just bought the Induro GHB 1. It looks similar to the sidekick design, I was worried that it would fit my 400mm F2.8.

The PLAMP is nice but overprice - should be about $25 in my opinion, I made my own from some twist ties and clamps for about $10. Hope you consider reducing the price and I am sure you would sell more.

You may want to fix the link provided! You have "..." on your text for the link, but the actual hyperlink is "http//..." with no colon before the backslashes! So it goes to a "buy this website" page.

cool video but please post a link to your company ect

Thanks

I'm contemplating this gimbal head. Would my current MeFoto Globetrotter tripod (rated for 12 kilos) be sufficient? I'm also planning to get a heavier Gitzo tripod but for budgeting reasons that will have to wait a bit!

The Wimberley Gimbal Head WH-200 is suitable for lenses from 70-200mm all the way to 800mm and the heaviest of lenses.
