The Wimberley MonoGimbal Head is a new style of monopod head.
It allows you to balance your lens, preventing lens flop.
The end result is a hand-held experience with the added stability of a monopod.
The offset nature of the head compared to a tilt or ball head intuitively seems like it would be a problem for handling, panning, and maintaining a level horizon.
One may fear that the whole rig will want to fall over or slip out underneath or that all of your pictures will be tilted.
However in practice your hands have no problem automatically compensating without thinking.

The MonoGimbal Head is a game-changer when it comes to portability.
The offset nature allows easy carrying with the weight of the lens and camera resting on your back.
With traditional tilt-heads you often end up with a monopod digging into your shoulder when you try to carry the rig.
Also the head itself, weighing in at .77lbs, is a very light and compact unit.

Speed Shooter Harness

NB. Sorry but Bob Rigby do not sell the Harness, it's just for your info ... 

For those of you who want to take action telephoto photography to the next level ...

check out www.speed-shooter.com.

They make a harness that allows you to use the MonoGimbal/Monopod combination in a way that anchors it to your body instead of the ground,
substantially increasing your ability to fluidly track moving subjects.

Introverts beware:  the unusual presentation of this setup might draw some attention, but hey ...if it works, it works ... and it definitely works.

If you are truly interested in getting the best telephoto action shots possible, this combo will lead to shots that would be very difficult to obtain otherwise.
