The Wimberley MonoGimbal Head - MH-100
The Wimberley MonoGimbal Head is a new style of monopod head. It allows you to balance your lens, preventing lens flop. The end result is a hand-held experience with the added stability of a monopod.
The offset nature of the head compared to a tilt or ball head intuitively seems like it would be a problem for handling, panning, and maintaining a level horizon. One may fear that the whole rig will want to fall over or slip out underneath or that all of your pictures will be tilted. However in practice your hands have no problem automatically compensating without thinking. |

The MonoGimbal Head is a game-changer when it comes to portability. The offset nature allows easy carrying with the weight of the lens and camera by either hand. The head — weighing in at only .77 lbs -- is a very light and compact unit.

The MonoGimbal Head is capable of handling any lens with a rotating collar with the limiting factor being the strength of the monopod. |
