## Description

About the Wimberley MonoGimbal Head - MH-100 The Wimberley MonoGimbal Head is the first and only of its kind: It is a monopod specific gimbal head for telephoto lenses. Its gimbal head type design allows you to easily support and manipulate very large lenses for tracking birds and animals. It solves the un-balanced lens flop tendency many experience with traditional tilt-type monopods It also makes carrying your rig more comfortable as the offset nature allows the weight of the lens and camera to rest directly on your back instead of digging into your shoulder through the monopod The Wimberley MonoGimbal Head offers the same stiffness, capacity, and smooth tilt movement of the Sidekick without any ballhead capacity issues when panning. Lobed “soft-touch” knobs provide a more comfortable grip and perform better when using gloves. Please use the plate/foot recommendations for the MonoGimbal found in the product images (click an image to see more makes/models or on the manufacturer's website) What's Included MH-100 MonoGimbal Head (MH-100) Safety Stop Screws - M3 x 6mm Socket Head Cap Screw (Qty 2) Hex Key – 2.5mm (Qty 1)

Review: Superb quality and exquisite engineering. Just get the original! - This compact gimbal for monopods is a typical Wimberley original design with refined engineering and extremely high quality made with care in the US. Their original design and solutions have been copied by everyone for good reasons. Their engineering design is extremely sound with perfect weight bearing flexibility while being reliable and safe to hold expensive equipment. This worked with my monopod for both the Sony 200-600 and 300 lenses, with or without 1.4X and 2 x teleconverters. Highly recommended!
Review: The answer for heavy telephoto lenses on a monopod! - A gimbal head on a sturdy tripod is the ultimate setup for photography with large, heavy super-telephoto lenses. Unfortunately, hauling a multiple pound gimbal head with a multiple pound tripod along with your camera and lens can be too much in many instances. Monopod to the rescue-sort of. A lens mounted directly to a monopod can only rotate via its mount collar, tilting means leaning the monopod. Most users resort to a ball head or a single axis tilt head on a monopod. Okay, now you can tilt the lens/camera up and down. You still have to loosen and retighten the head every single time. If the head isn’t tightened enough, the lens and camera can violently slam against the monopod. What to do? Enter the Wimberley MH-100. Yes at $179 it seems expensive for such a compact piece of kit, once you have it setup and in use, the price will be forgotten. My Pentax DFA 150-450mm f4.5~5.6 lens and K3 body is incredibly unbalanced when mounted to a monopod by the lens tripod foot. The foot is nowhere near the center of gravity and adding a KP or K3 body makes it worse. The MH-100 cures the problem when used with a 3.5 or 4 inch long Acra Swiss type mounting plate. I used the Wimberley P-400 but any GOOD brand will work (remember, you are counting on the plate to hold thousands of dollars worth of equipment!). I mounted the MH-100 to my heavy duty Manfrotto monopod then the lens plate to the foot on the 150-450. Add the camera body and its time to start trial and error for the correct position of the lens plate. Once you find the balance point, lighten the plate screws. After that, you can compensate for balance shifts by sliding the plate in the MH-100 clamp. Property adjusted, the camera and lens stay where you have it pointed even with the tilt knob unlocked. I can move the lens/ camera with the tip of a finger. The gimbal bearing is long and smooth, the lock knob large, sturdy and easy to use. The MH-100 only adds a couple of inches to the height and width of a monopod, so it should fit in most monopod cases too. The setup looks odd and ungainly. The monopod is off to the left with the camera/lens hanging beside it to the right. Trust me, the rig is very easy to use once you get past the looks. I had been hand-holding my big lens because it was not ergonomic to use on a monopod with any head I tried. With the MH-100, the camera and lens are a pure joy to use on the monopod.

*by J***7 on August 6, 2026*

Excellent fit/finish. Very secure mounting. I use the MH-100 with a Canon R5 and 400mm 2.8 lens for football pics for a local newspaper. Have never had a issue with this critical part of my gear. Professional quality gimbal.
