This allows the lens to rotate around its center of gravity, dramatically improving handling and vibration dampening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYour percentage of 'keeper' shots will definitely go up using this device with telephotos with a tripod collar. Ideal for 300mm f\/2.8 or 500mm f\/4.5 lenses, but also works great with 70-200\/f 2.8 telephoto zooms or macro lenses with tripod collars such as the 180mm f\/3.5 \u0026amp; 400mm f\/5.6's made today. When the tripod collar is fitted in the Sidekick properly, you will have perfect 50\/50 weight distribution, making movement of the lens and camera finger-light!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sidekick, when combined with an appropriate ballhead with an Arca-type quick release clamp \u0026amp; independent panning lock as well as the included Wimberley P-30 Quick Release Plate, makes for an incredible combination to provide control of spotting scopes. This is likely the best possible scenario for tracking a bird in flight, but will require a spotting scope with a rotating tripod collar in order to be ergonomically practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCast aluminium and stainless steel design\u003cbr\u003e\nCatalyzed urethane finish\u003cbr\u003e\nRubberized 5-lobed knob\u003cbr\u003e\nCaptive controls cannot fall off accidentally\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wimberley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49286070501619,"sku":"WIM-SK-100-PRE-1","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8342\/0659\/files\/782125.jpg?v=1782121924","url":"https:\/\/thepixelconnection.com\/products\/wimberley-arca-sidekick-ball-to-gimbal-head-adapter-w-p-30-quick-release-plate-used","provider":"PixelConnection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
