I'm using the gimbal mount for the real poor ;-) The Manfrotto 393 (don't remember the number sold as Bogen). I'm very happy with it BTW. A good ball head is on my wish list, I have a Manfrotto 486RC2. The RC2 mounting is a bit loose for my needs. The Manfrotto 468MGRC3 is the most likely candidate, because it has the mounting system in common with the 393.

Hey, Tim, as a comparison, I'll run through some tests with the in-lens IS on my new Canon 500/4 and the Wimberley sidekick (poor man's gimbal). All my nature-shooting Canon friends leave IS on all the time. I never did side-by-side with the 300/4 IS (old first generation IS) and a regular ball head. I'll let you know what I see and post the shots of IS on a and off. What Gimbal head do you have? -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
