Wimberley WH-200 Wimberley Gimbal Head II - Made in USA

Awesome! If you shoot birds, you need this. Or at least something similar. Very well made!

I’ve purchased a couple of other gimbals over the years and rented a couple of others. they all had issues, like being too stiff, or not locking down solidly. That is until I rented a Wimberley. That experience convinced me to buy one. I’ve not been disappointed! It is beautifully designed, incredibly smooth, and lens weight doesn’t cause it to sag. Save yourself some money searching for something better and buy the best the first time.

Im using this with a 500mm lens and flash using various Wimberley brackets and adapters. Its awesome and highly recommended but Im docking a star for two small issues... 1) with my new, lighter weight 500mm lens and attached flash and extender I cannot get a perfect balance. I suspect the issue is that the center of gravity is a bit high even with the clamp all the way down. If the arm was an inch or so longer I think balance could be achieved. All that said, its not *bad* its just not perfect. 2) this is nit-picky but the action is not as smooth as it might be, Im sure due to the bearing system used. You could argue you dont want a friction-less system with all that expensive gear swinging around, but Id like to be able to control that with a tension adjustment.

Outstanding build quality and packaging. Couldnt be happier.

Top-shelf piece of equipment. Sturdy, silent, smooth operation. A bit pricey, but I got what I paid for.

Simply perfect.

Gimbal perfetta per solidità precisione e assenza di qualsivoglia vibrazioni. Il Gold Standard del settore. Tanti lhanno copiata ma nell utilizzo reale nessuno raggiunge il livello garantito da questa testa.

Excellent quality

Excelent.

The Wimberley WH-200 was a great purchase. Very well made easy to setup and balance lens. Very smooth movement and steady as a rock.
