Matt,
It cost 10 times more than the Wimberley Side kick and 3 times more than the Wimberley Gimbal or King Cobra.

I don't think it's better than the Wimberley or King Cobra products, it has its limitation of axis but not with other.

They are special order and built for Rupert Murdoch or Kerry Packer :lol:

Have seen that before Matt, Michael Weber uses it, but I have only read his review, never any others. His review: http://www.imagepower.de/IMAGES/imgEQUIPMENT/Nill.htm

600 Euros, who is brave enough to try? Maybe we build a sample out of old angle brackets. Not that I do this sort of thing but the dual body feature must be handy. KIpper is about to buy a 800mm lens, maybe he will be the first?


ps Notice how much camo you need to put on those Canon white lenses?

Top Camera for top half of the body and bottom camera for bottom half, also to show the knees in great detail ;)

Birddy, good to see Packer and Murdoch recognise a bargain, if they are there at 2am they must be a member of the Sigma club :wink:

Must be German design - they had a habit of placing aircraft on top of each other - hence the camo :lol:
