Okay, I have a Nikon 500 f/5.6 PF which I use on a D750 body with a grip. I put a Wimberly AP 500 replacement foot on the 500 PF. I either use a Sirui 30 K ball head or a Sirui PH 20 gimbal. I've been happy with the performance of both of those heads. But I recently picked up a nice used TC 14 E II converter and when using the converter with the PH 20 gimbal I can't slide the whole rig forward enough to balance. The problem is the clamp of the PH 20 is quite long and the safety stop screw slots are short. I've solved the issue for now by using the factory foot and the long Sirui plate that came with the PH 20. Even before this, I'd been thinking about the Jobu Jr. 3 gimbal as a lighter smaller gimbal for the 500 PF. My question is, does anyone have a similar rig and use the Jobu Jr. 3 gimbal? Does the grip bottom out on the base of the gimbal and severely limit how high the rig can be pointed?
Thanks, Paul
