Wimberley MH-100 + RRS clamp v2

[Andeye]

Hi guys!

I know there have been threads in the past about this, but some information confused me.
Im buying a Wimberley MH-100 for my Monopod set up. And I'm really interested in the RRS release clamp system.

1. Will the RRS release clamp system fit on the MH-100? Can I screw it directly on or do I have to do some modification for it to fit?
2. There is different models of the RRS clamp, which one should I go for? I can see they have new model that Is slightly longer (I guess that's a good thing) (https://reallyrightstuff.com/clamps/?page=2)
So either the (B2-LR II: Lever release clamp) Or the longer version B2 LRR II Long lever realise clamp.
And for me it looks like this is the version 2, of this. Anyone using the version 2? can anyone see if there is any difference?

Thanks in advance!
Andreas

I have the Wimberley MH-100 and the RRS B2-LLR-II Lever-Release Clamp (80mm). Works well together.

Brilliant, and you can screw it directly to the MH100 with no problems?

It's a 3/8 x 16 thread so yes it will screw on, but it takes some work to do so. Here's a post to read through about doing this:

Quick Lever Release for Wimberley MonoGimbal head

I took Steve's advice and ordered a Wimberley MonoGimbal head for my monopod. It is great. But the screw clamp to hold the lens color is a pain to use. A clamp with a quick release lever makes more sense but not available from Wimberley. My solution was to use a Really Right Stuff Lever...

The center threaded hole on the RRS clamp is 3/8”-16. I screw that to the monopod and then clamp the MH-100 on it. If the screw on your monopod head is long enough it could extend through the RRS clamp and into the MH-100.

In my case I find that with the RRS clamp securely tightened its clamping force holds fast the MH-100 and and lens attached to it. I’ve used it with a Z9 and 400TC lens and not had a worry at all.

I’m able to screw the RRS clamp to the threaded post on the monopod with no problem. And it screws down VERY tight.

I think he's talking about replacing the MH-100 knob clamp with a RRS lever clamp.

What I want is to have it like this:

I'd just get the B2-LRII, not the longer one (the B2-LLII).

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll get the shorter one.
