I found finding balance for the gear on the head incredibly easy (fast). Thanks.Good choice! I use the Wimberley MH-100 on a Benro monopod and am a very happy user. For added safety, I still often tether my Z8-600TC to my Cotton Carrier vest. I prefer the screw mount on the Wimberley for balancing adjustments; I can loosen it enough to slide fore and aft without total release of the lens foot from the gimbal.
