I went out for a couple of hours this afternoon after the rain stopped, never got to use the new head but got a nice shot of a Damselfly on my travels. As good as the Wimberly, except panning! Have you tried adjusting the friction, or are you referring to some other advantage the Wimberly has. Nearly as good as the best is pretty damn good for the money.

In fact me and the 393 are going camping right after I've sent this post. I've got a couple of white throated dippers with a child waiting for me :-) I'm using mine mainly with a Tamron adaptall x 1,7, my BigK (K-500/4,5) or the DA* 300. Overall I think it does a pretty good job. I have also tried the Wimberly, kindly lent from a PDML lurker, hi Kaffilars :-) I think the Wimberly is slightly better on panning. Except from this I find them equal in performance. And equal with Wimberly means very good :-) I'm convinced you will find that it will improve the sharpness of your photos. To hell with work, just go out there and shoot :-) -- MaritimTim 2009/7/19 John Whittingham <[email protected]>: > Hi Tim > > I'ne only tried it to see what it's like, unfortunately, because pressure of > work has prevented me doing any bird photography lately.
