Hi All
After many years dreaming I finally acquired my dream Canon 600mm F4 lens what I need now is adequate support for it.
I have a Manfrotto 055 pro legs and currently use either the 222 head or a 701rc2 fluid head.
I have been searching for information on suitable heads for the extra weight and to date 3 heads have come to my attention so thoughts and opinions sought.
1. Wimberley. (Both the Mk2 and the sidekick)
2. Kirk king Cobra
3. Manfrotto 393
Anybody any advice stroke experience of these heads especially with a big lens such as the 600mm
I also came across a forum which drew my attention to a replica 393 type and sidekick type head made somewhere in India with astounding prices so maybe if anyone has any experience of these as the price is unbelievable.
Thanks in anticipation of your flood of advice.
