PRO KIT GIMBAL HEAD

Andrew says… I use a Wimberley Head Version II gimbal head atop a Gitzo tripod to support my heavy AF-S 600mm f/4e FL ED VR. This setup combines the fluidity of a monopod with the stability of a tripod. It allows me to shoot at slower shutter speeds without having to worry about camera shake and takes the weight off of what is close to a 4kg lens. I will still use a monopod on challenging hikes for its small and light form factor, though. It’s particularly useful if I’m shooting on uneven terrain where its small footprint is helpful in a pinch.
