MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING:

It is important to read these instructions.

Setting up the MonoGimbal Head is not difficult, but reading these

instructions will allow you to get the most out of the product.

Thank You! Your observations and suggestions are welcome. We will continue to refine the MonoGimbal and instructions in response to customer feedback.

The MonoGimbal has been designed and constructed to handle many maintenance free years in the field.

There should be no need for any routine maintenance.

YOUR MONOGIMBAL HEAD:

Few things are likely to go wrong with the Wimberley

MonoGimbal Head However, if the head is in need of

repair, we ask that you return the head to us for inspec-

tact the dealer who sold you the MonoGimbal Head).

If you need a head for a trip or shoot while yours is be-

ing repaired, let us know and we can send you one on

loan. If the head is faulty, we will fix it free of cost. If the

problem arises from extreme use, abuse or accident,

we will repair the head for a reasonable fee.

direct instruction from us. Any damage to the head

resulting from disassembly will not be covered by war-

ranty. In special cases it may not be feasible to send the

The bracket uses a quick release attachment, so it is very fast and easy to install. It also breaks down and folds for easy - -

storage. Refer to our product catalog or website for details

MOUNTING THE HEAD ON A MONOPOD

On a 3/8 16 Threaded Stud:-

Step 1: Attach the head to the monopod See Fig. 1.

Rotate the monopod counter clockwise to attach the head -

on the 3/8 threaded stud on the monopod. Do not install

the safety stop screws if you intend to use the head with-

out a QR clamp.

Monopod Prerequisites

1 Your monopod should be heavy duty. We recommend using

a monopod with a 3/8 stud that is rated at 3 times the weight of

your setup. A reducer bushing can be used in the head for a

1/4” monopod stud, however it is doubtful such a tripod will be

sufficient to guarantee your gears stiffness and stability

2 An Arca Swiss Quick Release clamp if you plan on mounting using -

the arca swiss dovetails on the MonoGimbal head.-

MOUNTING THE HEAD ON A MONOPOD

WITH A QR CLAMP:

Step 1: Install the safety stop screw See (Also see clamp Fig. 2.

compatibility warnings in included safety stop screw kit)

Step 2: Open the QR clamp. The head has

optional safety stop screws. These prevent

accidental sliding out of the quick release.

If you use these stops you must be using

a QR clamp that can be opened wide

enough to load your head from the top

(instead of sliding it in). See Fig 3

Step 3: Attaching the MonoGimbal

Position the flat side of the head s mounting’

base against the clamp face. Clamp it securely.

The MonoGimbal is now ready to use. Simply loosen the tilt knob about a quarter turn and start shooting. The lens should be

very easy to point, should stay pointed and should not tend to flop or creep. You can shoot with the knob loose for fluid mo-

tion, or lock in on a target by tightening the knob. -

If you have questions or need help setting it up, please contact us.

Prerequisite: In order to attach your lens to the MonoGimbal Head, it must be fitted with an

Arca Swiss style quick release plate or foot.- -

Step 1: Tighten the tilt knob of the head make sure that the head s Quick release clamp -’-

is level so that the head is stable while you are loading your lens.

Step 2: Open the jaws of the quick release clamp - wide enough so that the jaws clear the

entire width of the QR plate attached to the foot of your lens.

Step 3: While supporting your lens, insert the quick release plate or replacement -

foot on your lens into the jaws of the clamp and tighten the clamp

securely. Make sure the quick release plate is seated properly and -

captive in the clamp jaws before letting go of the lens.

BALANCING YOUR LENS ON THE MONOPOD HEAD:

ATTACHING YOUR LENS TO THE MONOPOD HEAD: See our website for a tutorial video.

STEP 1: Preparing to Balance:

Tighten the Monopod Head s tilt knob. Mount your lens (with camera body ’

attached). Stand behind the lens/camera setup and grab the camera

body as if you are going to take a picture.

If the front of the lens tilts downward you will need to slide

the lens backward (toward you) in the clamp. If the front of the lens tilts upward, you will need

to slide the lens forward (away from you.)

PROPER HORIZONTAL BALANCE:

Adjust the position of the lens in small increments until there is no tendency for it to tip.

STEP 2: Balance the Horizontal Position of the Lens:

Hold camera body with a relaxed grip and loosen the tilt knob of the MonoGimbal.

Adjust the horizontal position of the lens forward or backwards depending on how the lens tips (see figures below). You will ice not

that the lens will want to tilt forward or backward. Don t forget to re tighten the clamp after each adjustment.’-

Monopod Head on Left

Smaller lenses (e.g. the 300 f/4, 70 200 2.8) are shorter and lighter compared to most pro camera bodies. In order to balance a -

small lens, the quick release clamp may have to be so close to the camera body that there is not enough room for your fingers.

Some solutions to this problem are using a lighter camera body or mounting the MonoGimbal to the left side of the lens

(which allows much more room because of the shape of most cameras)

USING SMALL LENSES (OR FOR VERTICAL SHOOTING)

USING LARGE LENSES

The MonoGimbal will carry the weight of a really big lens, but there are some special considerations needed for safe and problem-

free operation. Typically, the bigger the lens, the greater the distance is from the central axis of the lens to the bottom of the tripod

mounting foot. The higher the lens profile, the more the lens extends beyond the center of the monopod. While this is not particularly

an issue due to the nature of the head, it is always beneficial for the center of gravity to be as close to the center of the nopod for mo

overall comfort when mounting the lens and using the monopod.

If you have a large lens that needs help balancing, we are here to help. We have an extensive list of lenses and

recommended setups on our lens compatibility list. This may be found in our catalog or on our website.

In order to use one of these larger lenses, we will often recommend a replacement foot which lowers the profile of the lens.
