Gimbal head by Custom Brackets
I agonised between buying the Wimberley or the Custom Brackets gimbal head for use with my AF-S Nikkor 400mm f/2.8 ED VR lens on my D3 body.

I looked at all the gimbals and found the CB is the newest and most innovative. And the innovations are truly useful -- for example the drag adjustments make it easy to position a lens with precision and because it's modular it's fairly easy to pack, even in my a... Show More
