    Far better than the cheaper copies.  Perfect for my 500 mm Nikon
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2021*

I had been thinking about getting a full gimbal for my Nikon 500 mm lens (huge and heavy).  The inventor of them is the Wimberley Head.  I wasn't sure I'd use it enough to justify the price.  I've seen several less-expensive copies of the Wimberley Head, but most I've tried seemed a bit rough and not that strong.  Those things are huge, and add to the already too heavy gear bag.  What to do?I decided to try a Wimberly Sidekick.  It is a lot smaller, and less expensive.  I considered a cheaper copy, but since the copies of the big Wimberly head didn't impress me, I was concerned the same would happen with a copy of the Sidekick.  The Sidekick price is not unreasonable, so I wanted to support the people who invented it.Wow.  This thing is solid, light weight and works perfectly.  Super smooth, perfectly finished, and a delight to use.  I wish I had bought one long ago. There is no "grinding" feeling like the cheaper copies.  I've used it with shorter lenses, and for video.  This thing is far more useful than I expected.It also feels good that the purchase supports a small, father/son company that innovates.  If that doesn't matter to you, then buy it because it works perfectly.  I use it on a Gitzo carbon tripod with an Arca-Swiss ball head, and adds very little weight to my gear bag.  Well worth the money.

    Awesome way to convert a standard ball head to a gimbal
  

*by W***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024*

I recently purchased the Nikon Z 600mm f/4 TC VR.  Such a large lens is cumbersome, at best, on a standard ball head, so I needed to go with a gimbal.  The pricing on gimbal heads can be a bit daunting, but I was ready to bite the bullet until a friend told me about this device.  It works perfectly when paired with my RRS BH-55.  Very sturdy and much more affordable than having to buy a dedicated gimbal head.  Plus, I have the flexibility of only needing 1 head for my tripod.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    No need to remove ballhead to use this!
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2019*

Excellent alternative to a full-blown gimbal head. Using a normal gimbal head usually requires the removal of your ballhead from the tripod, which is a pain in the neck! I would almost prefer to have a second tripod exclusively for a gimbal. However, this nifty gadget allows your ballhead to remain in place - it attaches directly to the arca-swiss plate clamp. It's easily attached, and easily removed for instant access to normal ballhead function. It is also very well constructed of heavy metal. I can easily mount my Tamron 150-600mm G2, and it's smooth as butter!
