Product Description
About the Wimberley MonoGimbal Head - MH-100
The Wimberley MonoGimbal Head is the first and only of its kind: It is a monopod specific gimbal head for telephoto lenses. Its gimbal head type design allows you to easily support and manipulate very large lenses for tracking birds and animals. It solves the un-balanced lens flop tendency many experience with traditional tilt-type monopods It also makes carrying your rig more comfortable as the offset nature allows the weight of the lens and camera to rest directly on your back instead of digging into your shoulder through the monopod
The Wimberley MonoGimbal Head offers the same stiffness, capacity, and smooth tilt movement of the Sidekick without any ballhead capacity issues when panning. Lobed “soft-touch” knobs provide a more comfortable grip and perform better when using gloves.

I use one primarily with a 150-600mm Tamron lens on a gripped Nikon D750 and it doesn't struggle at all with the weight. Plenty of room, solid and fluid motion, and it makes me feel very secure.
I primarily use the second for shooting sports where I'm using a big telephoto lens, or I'm shooting from a static position ad a way to take weight off my arms (such as for wrestling when I sit on the floor next to the mat).
If you do sports or wildlife photography and are looking for something agile and light weight, this is the ticket! If you're newer to field I'd highly recommend getting an aluminum monopod as they're the best bet for the buck as large and rigid carbon fiber monopods tend to be $200+ whereas you can get something like a Manfrotto XPRO monopod for under $120 all day. I find the weight difference negligible but the sturdiness is a requisite as mounting this Wimberley head on a bouncy monopod will ruin your shots!
The Wimberly MonoGimble is so much better than using a typical bulky tripod designed large offset gimble on a monopod. I am a bird, wildlife, and nature photographer. I have been using this Wimberly MonoGimble on a Manfrotto MPMXPROA4 monopod shooting either a Nikon D7200 or a Nikon D850 mounted with a Nikon 800mm f/5.6E.
This lens, and either camera frame, are a very heavy combination and I trust the Wimberly MonoGimble, Manfroto monopod combination completely. The side-mounted design offers an easy comfortable way to carry a heavy rig for much longer distances than a tripod and gimble combination.
It is worth googling YouTube videos for this monopod gimble, particularly the one from Steve Perry.
This gimble is a little pricey for its size unless you compare it to a large tripod gimble of comparable quality.
I do not think you can go wrong with the Wimberly MonoGimble. I didn’t.
But when I mounted my EF 600mm f/4 mark III (which is the lightest of its series ) I noticed that my horizontal axis was not very smooth. In fact it's kinda normal. the overhand due to the mounting in the side creates tension on the vertical axis and unwanted friction preventing rotation on the horizontal plane.
for all the other lenses (with an overall lighter weight, this is really a great concept)

Aber Spinnenfüsse, wie manche Monopods sie haben, sind dafür nicht geeignet! Etwas zu teuer mE nach, dennoch bleibt mein Tripod daheim und ich freu mich auf 2kg weniger!
