Wimberley Head WH-200 Version II ™ telephoto gimbal head (gimbal)

Product overview: Wimberley WH-200 as a pro gimbal for super-telephoto lenses

The Wimberley WH-200 is a globally proven gimbal or telephoto tilt tripod head that has been specially developed for large and heavy telephoto lenses. If you photograph wildlife, birds, or sports and are looking for maximum control at long focal lengths, this tripod head is one of the most professional solutions on the market. Thanks to its gimbal construction, you move your equipment almost weightlessly and with extreme precision.

Perfect balance for your telephoto lens

The Wimberley WH-200 is designed so that the center of gravity of your camera-lens combination can be perfectly balanced. Once your setup is correctly adjusted, it remains stable in any position, without tilting or uncontrolled movements.

  • Virtually weightless handling of large telephoto lenses
  • Smooth and controlled panning movements
  • Ideal for birds in flight and fast sports action
  • No sagging with unlocked axes

Especially with dynamic subjects, this balance gives you a decisive advantage.

Gimbal mechanics for maximum freedom of movement

As a true gimbal head, the WH-200 allows free 360° rotation as well as smooth tilting movements up and down. The two axes can be adjusted individually and finely tuned. This allows you to track your subject intuitively without having to fight against the weight of your equipment.

During long photo sessions in particular, you will quickly come to appreciate this ergonomic way of working.

Extremely durable and long-lasting

The Wimberley WH-200 is made of high-quality, precisely machined aluminum and is designed for continuous professional use. It easily supports heavy camera and lens combinations with super-telephoto lenses. Despite its stability, it remains comparatively light and easy to transport.

  • Robust aluminum construction
  • High load capacity for professional telephoto lenses
  • Weather-resistant and durable build quality
  • Made in USA

This makes this telephoto tilt head a long-term investment in your camera gear.

Arca-style compatible quick-release base

The WH-200 features an integrated quick-release clamp in the Arca-style standard. This allows you to use compatible lens plates and camera rails directly and to balance your setup precisely. The long clamping surface enables exact adjustment of the center of gravity, which is crucial for smooth movements.

Changing your camera or lens is quick and secure, even in outdoor use.

Note: The Arca-style compatibility (ARCA compatible) enables the use of suitable plates and rails in the corresponding standard.
