Monopod Gimbal Head – Side Saddle Speed Tilt with Arca-Swiss Dovetail Quick Release Plate | Supports Medium & Telephoto Lenses | Max Load 100lbs

I freaking love this, worked great with my 180-600. It is light weight on my monopod and it has nice smooth rotation adjustment, it took no time to get up and running. I have a henjar plate with dual qd and i was able to keep one of my QD points locked in during use - it never budged and had a nice tight grip. Easily the best value I have found while searching for something to take some stress off of my arm. This one will stay permanently attached and live in my car.

Looks, feels, and works with my Nikon Z 100-400 and Oben CTM-2500 monopod as an improved copy of Wimberley MH-100, which I have also tested, at 1/3 of the price.

I was initially worried given the low price and lack of off-site reviews, but it's very sturdy and operates smoothly. Makes monopod operation much more comfortable.

Professional products available in a short amount of time priced appropriately.

I got this to try using as a gimbal head on a monopod with my Olympus 150-600mm lens. It’s a third of the price of the big-name version that has the same model number. I think it’s a good value. Seems solidly built. The clamp is nice and solid and I’m confident in its ability to hold the lens. The friction range is pretty narrow, though. It’s easy to lock off and easy to fully release, but it takes a delicate touch to get the right amount of drag. (I’ve heard similar remarks about the name brand model.) With an internally zooming and focusing lens that wouldn’t really matter as long as the lens was balanced in the head. But with a lens like the Oly 150-600 - which nearly doubles in length when you zoom out - being able to dial in a little more drag would be nice. I don’t use it all the time, because the sync IS with that lens & an OM-1 is pretty amazing and allows crazy handheld shots. But if you’re shooting for long, that lens gets heavy and this head on a monopod can be an arm & shoulder saver.

Well made. Light weight. Easy to use. Recommend.

DO NOT trust your expensive camera and lens on this gimbal head. I loved this item when it arrived and it is a great design. However it has one fatal flaw that dropped my Canon 200-400 f/4 to the pavement. I was using the lens with my 5D mkIV attached which is far under the claimed 100lbs capacity of this piece, however when walking from one location to another the brass insert used in the threads snapped and everything came crashing down. Why they would use such a soft metal on one of the most critical connection points is absurd!

Works great with my monopod , using 600 f6.3

Excellent for the money. If used on a monopod can swivel on end of monopod. If monopod has tripod feet you will need an additional panorama device between monopod and head. Some others come with this included so maybe worth looking into if that's your needs. If you want a "light" set up with just a monopod and camera this serves well. Nice large tightening knob.

leopotoを購入しようとしてましたが、こちらの方が安かったので購入してみました。まったく問題なかったです。かなりしっかりした作りです。レビューにあったベアリングが見えているっていうのもなかったです。アルカスイスはかなりしっかり固定されてるので大丈夫だと思いますが、横からの取り付けということもあり、念のためにレンズのストラップ首にかけながら使用してます。

お値段はWimberleyの1/3、レオフォトの1/2、気になりますよね。買ってみました。 印象は、かなり丈夫に作ってある、ってこと。チルト部にはベアリングが入ってます。ベアリングがちょっと見えてるのはいいのか？とも思いますが、たまにスプレーグリスをほんの少し入れときましょうか。 クランプ部とノブのところは、かなりしっかりカシメてありますので、大砲レンズを付けて、万が一でも取れるようなことは無いように思いますね。チルト方向の固定はノブが大きいので、軽く締めるだけで超望遠レンズでもしっかり固定できます。 実際に3kgのレンズで使ってみましたが、やはり持ち歩くのに少し慣れが必要ですね。チルト部は緩んだ状態でもバランス取れてるので、そのままレンズを肩に載せる感じで担ぎやすいです。一番疑問だったのが、レンズの取付が雲台の右なのか左なのかですが、私は右に付けて、左手は一脚のゴムの部分を持ち、右手１本でレンズを振り回すほうが好きです。これは好みだと思います。 物の値段として、このZelnooxさんの一脚ジンバルヘッド雲台が適正価格だと思います。もう少し安くてもいいかな。だから、とてもじゃないがアメリカ製の商品は買えません。

しっかりした造りで悪くない。固定感やフリーにした時の稼動感もしっかりしてる。壊れる気がしないが耐久性は検証中。 アルカスイス台座は締め込み式だから、重いレンズ支えながらだと、少しコツがいる。クイックリリース？だったら良かったかな。 後、取り付け穴は海外規格なので１/4規格のアダプターが必要な三脚や一脚があります。
