Today's Fedex Delivery from B&H
I needed to get some assistance for my XF100-400mm, and I found this SevenOak
CF Gimbal Head Adapter. It functions in much the same way as the Wimberly Sidekick at about $100 less costly. It attaches to my ballhead tripod mount, and works perfectly. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kqj6mqszmxy3bhn/IMG_2577e.jpg?dl=0 -- Regards, Savageduck |

I assume that you are referring to the lens collar + foot. If so that does allow rotation from portrait and landscape orientation, as well as attachment to a tripod, or monopod. However, a gimbal provides for smooth, effortless movement in all axes in addition to the rotation around the lens collar. This particular one provides all the support, and freedom of movement at a reasonable price $130.95. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o7fp7dxsj4h2pd6/IMG_2578e.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/48tiieq7t9eky1t/IMG_2580e.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/lhz779rqm8yscc4/IMG_2583e.jpg?dl=0 -- Regards, Savageduck |

That last should read "times I have to remember to tighten the control knobs." ....and that is the beauty of a gimbal when using heavier/bulkier lens/camera combos. With my new SevenOak adaptor, or the Wimberly Sidekick you have the ability to convert an existing ballhead mount into a gimbal, all without actually changing the ballhead. When the gimbal adaptor is in the ballhead QR the ballhead main, & friction control knobs ar locked for other than making minor adjustments. The pan lock knob remains loose. This results in a rig where the the camera/lens combo is held in balanced equilibrium. It can be moved freely to follow whatever your subject might be, and then released to remain in position without the need to worry about the ballhead. I should have got one of these years ago. There is one caveat with regard to my particular purchase. The SevenOak Gimbal Adaptor is described as *small* as such it does seem to be more suited to smaller DSLRs or MILCs. For larger DSLR/lens combos I would suggest either the Wimberly Sidekick, or the ProMediaGear Tomahawk. That, or step up and buy a convential Gimbal head. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/205329- REG/Wimberley_SK_100_Arca_Sidekick_Ball_to.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1056496- REG/promediagear_gt1_tomahawk_gimbal_attachment.html -- Regards, Savageduck |

This is entirely coincidence. I already had the camera set up and I have just been trying out the camera in my old iPhone 4s. Here is mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p1surescz3..._0019.JPG?dl=0 and https://www.dropbox.com/s/nie2x135b5..._0020.JPG?dl=0 It works very well until I insert the compound slides I use for macro work. Then it becomes big and clunky. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
