Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods
Key Features
  • Adds Fluid Tracking Movement to Monopods
  • Load Capacity: 50 lb
  • Height: 3.4"

When speed and fluid movement matter, the MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods by Wimberly brings the functions of a full-sized gimbal head to your monopod with a fraction of the weight and bulk. Its new and unique design allow you to balance the center of gravity of your lens over your tripod, preventing lens flop while maintaining the full range of movement. The solid aluminum and steel construction of the MH-100 means that its only weight limitation is the strength of the monopod. It can be mounted directly on a 3/8"-16 threaded stud or can also mount securely on an Arca-Swiss style quick release receiver clamp.

Wimberley MH-100 Overview

When speed and fluid movement matter, the MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods by Wimberly brings the functions of a full-sized gimbal head to your monopod with a fraction of the weight and bulk. Its new and unique design allow you to balance the center of gravity of your lens over your tripod, preventing lens flop while maintaining the full range of movement. The solid aluminum and steel construction of the MH-100 means that its only weight limitation is the strength of the monopod. It can be mounted directly on a 3/8"-16 threaded stud or can also mount securely on an Arca-Swiss style quick release receiver clamp.

The MH-100 is designed to provide years of maintenance-free use and is built with pride in the USA.

Compact, Portable Gimbal Solution
The compact, self-contained design centers the combined camera and lens weight over the monopod while allowing fluid movement
Large Tilt Knob with Tension Adjustment
The tilt knob can be tightened to lock the lens in position, or loosened slightly to allow movement with enough resistance to prevent lens flop. The large knurled knob is easily handled, even while wearing gloves
Compatibility
Compatible with Arca-Swiss style quick release plates, long lens plates, or lens replacement feet.
Installation Versatility
Mount directly to a tripod's 3/8"-16 threaded stud, or the dovetail-shaped base can be clamped directly into an Arca-Swiss style quick release receiver clamp. Included removable safety stop screws prevent accidental release from the receiver.
Requirements and Precautions
  • The lens must have a rotation collar in order to quickly switch from vertical to horizontal
  • The lens must have an Arca-Swiss style quick release plate or lens replacement foot
  • For heavy-duty monopod use only. Monopod load capacity rating must be three times the weight of the combined camera and lens set
  • Use of a reducer bushing to mount the ML-100 to a monopod with a 1/4"-20 threaded stud is not recommended

    Wimberley MH-100 Reviews

    Even better than RRS

    By Paul

    Replaced RRS monopod head and can’t believe how much more pleasant it is to use with large telephoto. Rig stays essentially weightless and steady. No down or upswing. Should have bought it before RRS.

    Works Very Well

    The Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbel Head works very well. I use it with the Canon RF 200-800. The lens balances well and using this gimbal on a monopod makes using this heavy lens much more stable, comfortable, and enjoyable.

    The Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods is not directly compatible with the Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens foot. You need an Arca-Type Compatible replacement foot for Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens.

    Will the tripod mount ring on a Canon lens work with mount? If so, will the mount ring be tightly secured.
    Asked by: Sharon
    The tripod mount ring on a Canon telephoto lens would need to have an Arca type plate attached to it for use with the MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods. The plate can vary depending on the lens model you own. The following is a list of plates to consider: https://bit.ly/3EgZriI

    Any recommendations for someone thinking of using this on a tripod? Should I mount it on a ball head or directly on the tripod? Is tripod use (im)practical as a permanent solution for someone who wants to travel light on a budget?
    Asked by: Andrew
    I use the MH-100 with my Canon 300mm 2.8 on a monopod. It should work fine with a tripod. I use this setup for IMSA racing images. Check out images on my Frank Ziegert facebook page. Most of the images were done with this setup.

    Is this can be used as a temporary replacement of Gimbal head for long lens on tripod during travel? I have both Wimberley Gimbal head II and SK-100. But they are heavy than this MH-100. If MH-100 put on tripod with center column raised and the pan function of tripod is used, can this handle quite long lense such 400mm similarly as Wimberley Gimbal head does? Thanks!
    Asked by: Huitang
    Search YouTube. You will find reviews of this head being used with 600mm f/4 lenses and big DSLRs. I've seen reviews of this combination being used on both monopods and tripods. It looks highly compatible with lots of equipment.

    Wimberley discourages users from trying to remove the quick-release clamp from the Wimberley MH-100 MonoGimbal Head for Monopods--it's not designed to be removed.
