Gimbal Heads on Ebay

[rupek]

Has anyone tried any of the Gimbal Heads available on ebay? They look a bit like the Wimberley Sidekick heads

Anyone used one? They are alot cheaper than the Wimberley Heads.

I have their other version which was a clone of the Kirk Gimbal. Recommended. They also sell plates so get them at the same time.

I have one of the Indian Wimberley knock-offs. Although it's not quite a smooth as a proper Wimberley it's still pretty good for the price. I must admit to not using it very often. It's very heavy compared to my Acratech Long Lens Head, so it tends to stay in the boot of the car if I've got to walk any distance.
