A truely fantastic bit of kit, especially if you have spent all your money on long lenses and have a restricted budget for a tripod head!! 500+ for a Wimberley your avin a laugh!!
Personally I use mine cradled rather than supported from above, it holds my 500mm f4 steady as a rock, great for panning shots as well, super smooth pan and tilt action. Have managed to set lens and camera up on the head so when you let go it will swing back in a balanced position. The only criticism is that the head is a little bulky, but for value for money it gets 11 out of 10 for me
