PO-120 Wimberley Sidekick Pouch ($22.75)

The Wimberley Sidekick Pouch fits the Sidekick. Custom manufactured by LensCoat, the soft neoprene protects the Sidekick from scratches during traveling and in the field. A pull cord closure allows easy access. Flattens for easy storage. Stress areas reinforced with cordura nylon.

This bracket consists of modules M1 & M3. It positions the flash above the lens when using side-mounted gimbal heads such as the Sidekick.

Note: The Nikon SC-29 Cord is not compatible with this bracket unless you use the FA-11 Adapter.

Note: If you want a bracket that will work on the Sidekick and on your ball head, the F-1 Telephoto Bracket can be configured for either task.

Sidekick Shifter & Spacers

Some larger lenses require the Sidekick to be shifted further out from the ball head in order to move the lens closer to the center of gravity. Your lens may require the use of a shifter to balance it perfectly on the Sidekick. Check our lens chart to see if your lens needs a spacer.

AP-900 ($50) Sidekick Shifter Block = 0.75" offset
AP-901 ($65) Sidekick Shifter + one (1/4") spacer plate = 1.0" offset
AP-902 ($80) Sidekick Shifter + two spacer plates = 1.25" offset
AP-903 ($95) Sidekick Shifter + three spacer plates = 1.50" offset

CK-550 Soft-touch Knob Conversion Kit ($10.00)  

This kit allows you to replace the round tilt knob on older Sidekicks and Original Wimberley Heads with a 5-lobe, soft-touch knob.

*Not compatible for use as a replacement for new Sidekicks and WH-200s that already have 5 lobe soft-touch knobs. These knobs have a different thread pitch. If you need a replacement knob for these products or any other part, please contact us.

AK-100 Sidekick Safety Plate Adapter ($43.00)  

The AK-100 attaches to Wimberley Sidekicks produced BEFORE May 2018, providing a dovetail width that conforms to the limited clamping range of lever-style clamps. (Traditional twist-knob clamps will work with the AK-100 as well.)

Sidekicks produced after May 2018 have a built-in anodized dovetail plate with a safety stop screw and do not require the AK-100 for Arca-Swiss lever-style clamps or use of safety stop screw feature.

The AK-100 also provides a stop-screw to insure that the Sidekick cannot accidentally slide out of your ball head’s quick-release clamp.
