  • 2-in-1 design converts to full Wimberley Head

Sidemount Gimbal Head

The Wimberley WH-200-S is a sidemount gimbal head built for photographers who handle large lenses. Its gimbal-style mechanism provides smooth, balanced movement for precise positioning. The design replaces the traditional swing arm with a side-mounted quick-release clamp, reducing overall weight. It suits shooters who need sturdy support without the bulk of a full gimbal head.

Convertible Dual-Screw Mount

The head uses the same dual-screw mounting configuration as the full Wimberley Head. This allows simple conversion between the Sidemount and the full gimbal version using available kits. The clamp is machined from anodized 6061 aluminum for a secure lens grip. Photographers locked into a different mounting standard cannot attach this head directly.

Patented Mechanism Stability

Patents 7478970 and 7600941 cover the pan and tilt mechanisms that deliver consistent stiffness under sustained load. The powder-coated aluminum upright and stainless-steel fasteners resist flex during extended shooting sessions. The gimbal action remains smooth when tracking heavy telephoto lenses over long periods. Users needing rapid, repeated repositioning without drift will find the mechanism holds position reliably.

Questions about this item

How does the sidemount clamp change the way a large lens handles on a gimbal head?

The sidemount clamp positions the lens sideways, shedding nearly a pound versus the full swing-arm assembly while keeping the same pan and tilt mechanisms for smooth movement.

What mounting pattern does the WH-200-S use to attach to a tripod or quick-release system?

It uses the same dual-screw mounting configuration as the full Wimberley Head, so the sidemount clamps directly onto that standard pattern.

What materials and fasteners are used in the clamp and upright, and where is it assembled?

An anodized 6061 aluminum clamp, powder-coated aluminum upright, and stainless-steel fasteners, assembled in Charlottesville, Virginia.
