Description

About the Wimberley MonoGimbal Head - MH-100The 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 monopodThe 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.

  • Perfect addition for your monopod!
This Wimberly clamp is a great addition for your monopod to use your telephoto lenses. I'm using this in addition with a quick release plate so I can swap my telephoto or camera clamped onto the monopod. It's not very lightweight for it's size but it's much easier to carry than a gimbal!

  • Better than I expected.
I have used monopods for a few years for birding but I found them limiting for moving birds. I tried a ballhead on the monopod but it was too slow and quirky. With the Wimberley I can support the camera easily for birds in trees and capture birds in flight. It is very intuitive to use and weighs less than the ballhead. Carrying the rig is also easier because I can rest it comfortably on my shoulder and the back of my neck, which provides greater distribution of the weight. If I don't want to carry a tripod I go to this monopod. ... show more

  • The answer for heavy telephoto lenses on a monopod!
A gimbal head on a sturdy tripod is the ultimate setup for photography with large, heavy super-telephoto lenses. Unfortunately, hauling a multiple pound gimbal head with a multiple pound tripod along with your camera and lens can be too much in many instances. Monopod to the rescue-sort of. A lens mounted directly to a monopod can only rotate via its mount collar, tilting means leaning the monopod. Most users resort to a ball head or a single axis tilt head on a monopod. Okay, now you can tilt the lens/camera up and down. You still have to loosen and retighten the head every single time. If the head isn’t tightened enough, the lens and camera can violently slam against the monopod. What to do? Enter the Wimberley MH-100. Yes at $179 it seems expensive for such a compact piece of kit, once you have it setup and in use, the price will be forgotten. My Pentax DFA 150-450mm f4.5~5.6 lens and K3 body is incredibly unbalanced when mounted to a monopod by the lens tripod foot. The foot is nowhere near the center of gravity and adding a KP or K3 body makes it worse. The MH-100 cures the problem when used with a 3.5 or 4 inch long Acra Swiss type mounting plate. I used the Wimberley P-400 but any GOOD brand will work (remember, you are counting on the plate to hold thousands of dollars worth of equipment!). I mounted the MH-100 to my heavy duty Manfrotto monopod then the lens plate to the foot on the 150-450. Add the camera body and its time to start trial and error for the correct position of the lens plate. Once you find the balance point, lighten the plate screws. After that, you can compensate for balance shifts by sliding the plate in the MH-100 clamp. Property adjusted, the camera and lens stay where you have it pointed even with the tilt knob unlocked. I can move the lens/ camera with the tip of a finger. The gimbal bearing is long and smooth, the lock knob large, sturdy and easy to use. The MH-100 only adds a couple of inches to the height and width of a monopod, so it should fit in most monopod cases too. The setup looks odd and ungainly. The monopod is off to the left with the camera/lens hanging beside it to the right. Trust me, the rig is very easy to use once you get past the looks. I had been hand-holding my big lens because it was not ergonomic to use on a monopod with any head I tried. With the MH-100, the camera and lens are a pure joy to use on the monopod. ... show more

  • Great
I never was excited about a monopod until I purchased this Wimberley MonoGimbal Head. I use my monopod all the time now.

  • Fotografía con monopié a otro nivel
Acabo de hacer un viaje de avistamiento de aves, llevé un monopié y un cabeza de bola. Sirvió la combinación. Luego recibí el MH-100 y me pregunté: "¿Por qué no lo había comprado antes?" Es un producto fantástico: fácil de usar, de tamaño razonable y con una sensación de robustez y solidez que te dan confianza y seguridad. Lo uso con Nikon Z6 II y dos teles Tamron: 70-200 f2,8 G2 y 150-600 G2. Con el 150-600 es una delicia usarlo una vez lo tengas balanceado; esto lo hago con focal 600mm, que sería la condición más exigente. Al cerrarlo a 150 se desbalancea un poco pero la verdad no es muy notorio ya que, por lo general, apoyo mi mano izquierda sobre el lente y esto me ayuda a corregir este desbalanceo. El movimiento es muy fluido, tal vez no tanto como si se usara la combinación trípode + gimbal, pero para mis necesidades que son solo de fotografía es más que suficiente. Definitivamente es un accesorio que todo fotógrafo de vida salvaje que use monopié, debería tener en su mochila. MUY recomendable. ... show more

  • Quality
This MonoGimbal works so well! It allows me to stabilize my camera and adjust my movement shooting my son's lacrosse games. I highly recommend it for sports photographers.

  • Amazing product
I have bought two of these now a d they are absolutely amazing for agile and mobile use of big lenses! It uses a turn knob Arca-Swiss mount with dual safety channels. It can also be mounted on top of a quick release Arca-Swiss head if you're so inclined. 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! ... show more

  • better than i expected
used this in lieu of a gimbal for my monopod on a recent photo excursion to Africa. Lightweight and just did the job. allowed my lens to be balanced and definitely added additional stability to longer focal length shots. I have officially retired my RRS monopod head for this one. The only thing i wish Wimberley would do is a quick release in lieu of a screw. ... show more
