Big Bertha (F* 600 F4) still needs a gimbal head. I have been

myself to mounting this heavy lens sideways. With my back problems
and occasional awkwardness, this struck me as something I would
have trouble with each and every time I used it. On top of that, I
was put off by Kirk. I e-mailed some questions, and the reply I got
back was to call their 800 number--which of course would mean a
sales pitch.
I've talked to the folks at Kirk Photo a couple of times. They are
very helpful and answer questions honestly. They're not some huge
conglomerate looking to sell you stuff: it's a small, specialist
outfit that care about the customers and the products.
