Phillipe, when you say "a shift to the central axis,... " do you mean the center of the gravity ? I looked at the Tomahawk before but wasn't sure if the side mount would hold 640 lens.For monopod users, in the same category as the Wimberley Monogimbal, we also have the GT2 Tomahawk.
I have both of them and I must say that the PromediaGear has interesting characteristics:
I've replaced the plate delivered with the GT2 (knob version) with an Arca Swiss one, with rapid open/close system and it works perfectly, at least as well as the Wimberley one.
- A shift to the central axis which is less than that of the Wimberley
- An Arca Swiss side attach (in addition to the one on the bottom) that allows it to be mounted on a standard rotule ball (by flipping the rotule ball 90°)
The Sony 640 itself weighs 3040 grams, the A1 body weighs 737grams, the total weight is 3777 grams, would the set up wobble if I pan side ways?
Thanks.
