About the Sidekick

At 1.3 pounds and small enough to be easily packed, the Sidekick converts your ball head into a gimbal head in seconds.

Simply slide the Sidekick into the quick-release of your ball head. 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 original Wimberley Head at greatly reduced size, weight, and cost. Remove the Sidekick and your ball head is ready to use with smaller lenses.

We recently converted to a five-lobed soft touch knob (identical to the one on the Wimberley Head Version II). Click here to order a conversion kit.
