As the title say, what is the best Tripod head for Wildlife/Birds shooting? Most likely a gimbal setup like a Jobu Design, Wimberley, King Cobra? I like to use it for 100-400mm and 500mm lenses.

My vote goes to the Wimberley Head II (WH-200). It's great for the 500 but might be a little overkill for the 100-400 although certainly usable with it. :)
