I recently purchased the Nikon Z 600mm f/4 TC VR. Such a large lens is cumbersome, at best, on a standard ball head, so I needed to go with a gimbal. The pricing on gimbal heads can be a bit daunting, but I was ready to bite the bullet until a friend told me about this device. It works perfectly when paired with my RRS BH-55. Very sturdy and much more affordable than having to buy a dedicated gimbal head. Plus, I have the flexibility of only needing 1 head for my tripod.

Along with a good tripod head (I use an Arca Swiss) this one provides a gimbal head system that can easily hold a 150-600 telephoto (with a Nikon D500 camera attached).Smooth to use and rotate, sturdy to hold, great addition for a photographer gear.

Il Wimberley SK-100 Sidekick è davvero favoloso, leggero e fluido, l’unica pecca forse e che se hai un corpo macchina (reflex più battery pack) e un po limitato nell’ inclinazione sia verso il basso che in’alto va a toccare la testa a sfera, però ripeto e favoloso.

I had been thinking about getting a full gimbal for my Nikon 500 mm lens (huge and heavy). The inventor of them is the Wimberley Head. I wasn't sure I'd use it enough to justify the price. I've seen several less-expensive copies of the Wimberley Head, but most I've tried seemed a bit rough and not that strong. Those things are huge, and add to the already too heavy gear bag. What to do?I decided to try a Wimberly Sidekick. It is a lot smaller, and less expensive. I considered a cheaper copy, but since the copies of the big Wimberly head didn't impress me, I was concerned the same would happen with a copy of the Sidekick. The Sidekick price is not unreasonable, so I wanted to support the people who invented it.Wow. This thing is solid, light weight and works perfectly. Super smooth, perfectly finished, and a delight to use. I wish I had bought one long ago. There is no "grinding" feeling like the cheaper copies. I've used it with shorter lenses, and for video. This thing is far more useful than I expected.It also feels good that the purchase supports a small, father/son company that innovates. If that doesn't matter to you, then buy it because it works perfectly. I use it on a Gitzo carbon tripod with an Arca-Swiss ball head, and adds very little weight to my gear bag. Well worth the money.

Perfectly fit to my Rollei Fotopro T7 ball head (load capacity 34 kg) and a Jobu replacement foot for Sigma 150-600 Sport. Highly recommended to save a lot of money if you have a strong ball head instead of buying a complete gimbal head (+ a tripod if you do not want to change heads on your existing tripod). Unfortunately SK-100 is available quite seldom in Europe because not so many dealers deal with Wimberley.
