Wimberley MH-100 Wimberley Mono Gimbal Head - Made in USA

More than matched my expectation excellent for Bird Photography

monté sur un monopode Lelfoto mpq 404c. La tête wimberley MH 100, et parfaite avec ce monopode, l'objectif monté dessus et un Tamron 150 500 x et un x-h2s fuji, le tout est très maniable, j'ai juste ajouté une plaque d30 car le pied de l'objectif n'était pas assez long pour l'équilibrage parfait.

Wow!! I used this MonoGimbal head for the first time the other day with my Benro MAD38C carbon fibre monopod, my Sony a9 and 100-400GM and the Wimberley replacement lens foot. Previously I had been using a lighter weight carbon fibre monopod screwed directly into the lens foot. I LOVE this combination!! The MonoGimbal head is light weight, well-built and simple to use, and wonderfully fluid in motion. It took me very little time to learn to use the Monopod mounted at the side instead of underneath the lens. First I tried the rig with the MonoGimbal mounted on the left side of the lens, and found that the lens foot got in the way of adjusting the switches on the lens. I shifted the MonoGimbal to the right side and perfect!! Now when birds go straight up and over my head, I can follow em with ease. I found this rig easy to hike with too, by resting the lens across the back of my shoulders, with the monopod resting on my right shoulder. I would highly recommend this MonoGimbal head to anyone who spends hours at a time using a telephoto lens and prefers a portable, lightweight support system (as opposed to carrying around a full-sized tripod and gimbal).

Top product deze Wimberley MH-100 gimbalhead! Gemakkelijk te plaatsen op je monopod en super in gebruik! Een aanrader!

I saw a few people using the Wimberley MH-100 at our local nature reserve and looked so practical. Looking in to it, it was expensive, more than I wanted to spend. :( Anyway, I decided to get one, and my, I am so impressed. :) Is it just a coincidence that over the last couple of months I have had some of my best ever photos of birds in flight? I don't thinks so! It balances the lens perfectly (Canon RF 100-500). It is so easy to pan the camera with the MH-100. Easy to move around. Much more control than with a ball head or traditional pan & tilt head. More flexible than a full gamble. It is very well made, a little heavy, but solid. I am sure it will last for many years. Why did I not get one before?

軽量で、各部面取りも、表面処理のアルマイト具合も完璧！ フリクション調整ダイアルはアジア製品なら数回前後に機材をチルト方向に動かせば緩んでくるところ、安定していて最初に設定した硬さを維持してくれます。 しかも、軽い力でチルトを完全にロックする事も出来ます。 クランプ部はRRS、KIRK製品は当然、サンウェイフォト、l-shot、Koolehaoda、NEEWER製等のプレート、レンズフットをしっかりと固定出来ます。 アリミゾ幅の調整幅もワイドに出来ていて、38mm、39mmどちらも余裕の対応でした。 欠点は唯一、高価な事くらい。 以上、使用感はカメラとレンズで3kg台前半での感覚です。
