At only 1.3 pounds and small enough to be easily packed, the Sidekick converts your ballhead into a gimbal head in seconds. Simply slide the Sidekick into the quick release clamp of your ballhead. The Sidekick's elevated tilt mechanism and side mounted quick release allow the lens to rotate around its center of gravity. This provides the same action and ease of use found in the Wimberley Head at greatly reduced size, weight, and cost. Remove the Sidekick and your ballhead is ready to use with smaller lenses.

It is constructed with a simple design of cast aluminum and stainless steel, with a catalyzed urethane finish, which is durable and dependable. Super tough nylon alloy knobs are virtually indestructible. The Sidekick comes with a built-in Arca-Swiss style quick release. The Sidekick weighs 1.3 pounds.

The Sidekick is designed for lenses similar in size to a 300mm f/2.8 (including most 500mm lenses). It can also be used with smaller lenses that have a rotating tripod mount. Please note that the Sidekick will accommodate some 600mm f/4 and 400mm f/2.8 lenses by replacing the lens mounting foot. Please contact us if you are interested in doing this.

Includes a 5 year warranty.
