the Wimberley head is just about useless unless your system is balanced
properly
This goes for any gimbal head. You use a gimbal head so you don't have to
fight the inherent imbalance/weight of long lens/camera body.

i have tried several brands. the one with the C-30 clamp is the old style
with screw knob tightening. the new version relocates the pan base lock and
reduces the weight by about a pound from over 4lb to over 3 lb. check out
www.tripodhead.com. you must buy a plate to attach to the bottom of the
tripod collar foot. i suggest the Wimberley P-50 plate, the biggest,
because it gives you the most length to slide for balancing purposes. the
Wimberley head is just about useless unless your system is balanced
properly.
