| Aug 5, 2011 at 20:15 | comment | added | dpollitt | I see what you are saying. My solution does not attach directly to the lens, because that is not required to achieve a balanced unit. The Wimberley Gimball head in addition to the plate, allow you to place the weight of the camera and lens below their pivot point. It steadies your entire setup so it doesn't flop forward on a tripod. I think that is what you are looking for, and this achieves exactly that. | |

I don't see how using a plate would solve my issue: I still have to find a way to attach the kit to the plate, the plate acts like and advanced tripod head but you still have to balance/stabilize the kit, don't you? Probably I wasn't clear enough, that's why I have amended my question. | |
