[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 365516, member: 8330"] Ahhh, that's interesting. If I understand you correctly, you like the upright part of the gimbal on the left side of the camera. And you use your left palm for left right movement (on that upright part) and your left hand fingers to articulate the lens upwards and downwards (manipulating the gimbal "arm"). I'm the exact opposite. I think part of it depends on the lens you are using. My Tamron's tripod collar is in a spot that puts the body far enough from the gimbal as to not get in the way. But if I use my 70-200 2.8 lens the collar might put the body closer to the upright part and therefore not very useful on the right hand side. I don't really know for sure because I haven't really tried it. Either way, I have the gimbal upright on the right side of my camera. I use my right hand on the grip to move up, down, left and right as well as focus and shutter release. That leaves my left hand free to zoom in or out. I guess it doesn't really matter what side it's on though. I just have always set mine up that way. [/QUOTE]
