[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 545614, member: 24285"] So Jim has the [COLOR=#333333]Wimberley WH-200 Gimbal head. [B] What are other's using and how is that working for you? [/B] I'm concerned that my tripod may need an upgrade. [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333]The 200-500 is 81 oz or a little over five pounds, and a D610 comes in at 26 oz or 1.6 pounds - so I'm well within the load capacity. Total less than seven pounds. [/COLOR][COLOR=#333333] My tripod is a Benro Transfunctional Travel Angel - it has a load capacity of 17 pounds. The Ballhead is a "B0" by Benro - also rated for 17 pounds. My Monopod is a Manfrotto 680B which supports up to 22 pounds - I have a Joby "X" Ballhead rated up to 11 pounds. Technically the camera and lens are way less than the capacity of either, with the Joby X being the weakest link but still good for 50% more than the load I'd be putting on it. I will have to try these out, but from what I've seen in reviews and youtubes is that other types of heads are recommended over the ballhead. Wimberley is the top - but I've taken a big bite out of my photo budget with this lens, may have to wait if that's the one I choose to go with. Henrys.com has the Wimberley at $750 CDN. [/COLOR] There are less expensive gimbal's for example by Jobu and Benro. Amazon has several much cheaper one's on offer but I'd be very leary of the cheapest of the cheap to support such an expensive bit of glass. [COLOR=#333333] [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
