from Direct From Wimberle Summary: The Wimberley Sidekick is a blessing for those using long telephoto lens (especially those interested in tracking fast maving subjects such as birds in flight). I use this device with a Canon 500mm F4 IS, a Kirk BH-1 Ballhead, and a Gitzo 1325 CF Tripod and it works flaslessly. The Sidekick makes using a long telephoto a dream... when properly balanced, the lens almost floats. My flight shooting has improved by leaps and bounds! I have written a full review of the Sidekcik here:

I love it! Strengths: Lightweight, easy to pack and travel with, makes a lens almost float, reduces neck and shoulder strain, makes flight shooting a breeze! Weaknesses: Expensive, adds more weight to rig, requires rebalncing with the addition/removal of accessories such as teleconverters/tubes. Similar Products Used: None Customer Service: Excellent! Travis at Wimberlery was very prompt and curtious in my contact with him. They have a 2 months free trial of the Sidekick so you have nothing to lose!
