Excellent as always

I have been using LensCoat covers on my lenses and tripod for several years and bought this for my Induro GHBA gimbal. The cover fits the Induro like glove, so I couldn't be happier.

Great Product!

Great product! Protects the Sidekick and helps keep your hands warmer on cold weather shoots. When I go to resale the sidekick, it will have fewer dings and scratches.

Poor fit and expensive

I bought this along with some Lenscoat tripod protectors and I have to say it's a very disappointing product. For $ I was expecting a perfectly fitting cover.The fit is very poor as it is loose fitting at the top and the velco fastening does not accurately line up when wrapped around the main part of the sidekick body.My sidekick is less than a year old so I contacted Lenscoat to check that there weren't any difference versions of the their sidekick covers and they said no.All in all a very disappointing product.

Good protection for my sidekick

I Use the Sidekick with a D500 and Sigma 150-600mm Sport on a Gitzo 3533 with an RRS leveler and ball-head. This ends up being a super stable platform, but also pretty heavy. Of course, it would be even heavier with a full gimbal! I replaced the foot on the Sigma with a Jobu to get the CG of the camera/lens pretty close to centered over the tripod. With the stock Sigma foot and an Arca-Swiss style QR plate stacked, the balance was a little far right. The QR on the Wimberley has been solid and the tension knob is fantastic. Highly recommended

Wimberley the best !

The sidekick works great with my 300 f4 afs and Nikon d 810 best with no battery grip. The balance is perfect even with 1.4 teleconverter and flash setup.
