Q: 1. I currently have a Benro A2580F tripod with a manfrotto pan/tilt head. I shoot birds with a D7200 and a Tamron 150-600mm lens. I want to get the Wimberley Arca Sidekick Gimbal but need recommendation for a ball head. Looking for best performance-to-value ball head?

Q: 2. I asked on a RE page on FB if anyone had experience using the MagicBall. I was told that a gear head would be what is needed for RE photography. Does anyone use it for RE work?

A: It all depends on how precise you wish to be with your RE photography. If just a then/now, you can shoot with this marvelous head in roughly the same spot of the original photography. Being honest, you could just handhold the camera for causal RE photography. On the other hand, If you are contracted to analyse soil erosion, then a more precise head will likely be necessary.

Q: 3. Which ball head will the Sidekick work with a Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 Tripod? Will it work with the Manfrotto XPRO Magnesium Ball Head with MSQ6PL Quick Release Plate or the Manfrotto XPRO Magnesium Ball Head Kit with 200PL-14 and 200PL Quick Release Plates? I shoot with a Nikon D500 with a 200-500 lens.

A: Yes, the Sidekick only works with Arca Swiss compatible ball heads, click the link below to view; https://bhpho.to/3buILDy It iwll not work with a head that uses a 200pl plate.

Q: 4. Will it hold a heavier pro camera?

A: This mount is intended for small size cameras. GoPros and other lightweight cameras would be perfect for it. I would refrain from using any camera heavier than a point-and-shoot on this device. We do offer ball head mount that would accommodate heavier payloads.

Q: 5. can i use the gitzo ball head with the wimberly side kick?

A: Yes they work very well together. My largest zoom lens is a Tamron 150 to 600 millimeter. There are only two small problems I've noticed. I mount everything with ARCA Swiss style mounting plate. These all have to be tighten very well. Otherwise where the sidekick bolts to the mounting plate of the ball head , and of course the ball head mounting plate is at right angles so therefore vertical. In this condition if things are not tight the sidekick can start sliding that is to say rotating where the head meets the mounting plate. If it is sufficiently tightened it's not an issue. Secondly, since this system does not have the capability to balance like a fall Wimberley head, and the fact that this lens extends as you zoom, perfect balance in any position is not possible. Although the offset weight is not hardly noticeable. I would highly recommend it! It's half the cost half the size have to wait. Less stuff in your equipment bag is always a good thing.

Q: 6. Has anyone used this with a RRS BH-40 w/ the full size Lever clamp? BH-40 LR II

A: Though this ball head will work with the Wimberly, I would not recommend it. We usually recommend heads that hold 30 or more pounds for gimbal assemblies, especially if you are to use a prime lens larger than 400mm.

Q: 7. I have a Canon T6s with a 500mm telephoto lens and 2X Lens on that. Will the Vixen Optics 3562 Piggyback Fine Adjustment Unit DX support this? What is the actual weight limit?

A: I do not recommend using this for your set up. It won't be sturdy enough from what it's showing. The head is only 12oz, so I really don't think this will work. My apologies.

Q: 8. I presently have a Benro A1192TB0 Travel Flat II Tripod. Will this gimbal head work with it?

A: While I am not familiar with your tripod, it has the appropriate fitting on top of the ball. It should work.
