Tripod head specially developed for stable monopods for carrying telephoto lenses.

The lens is mounted on the side of the clamp for a weightless system.

The design of the MH-100 allows easy handling of even the heaviest lenses, as the rotation axes practically run through the center of gravity of the mounting.

 

 Which lenses can be mounted on the MH-100?

 

  • Your lens must be equipped with a lenscolar.
  • Your lens must be equipped with a 38 mm Dovetail compatible quick-release plate or a replacement lens foot with an integrated 38 mm Dovetail compatible clamp profile.

The clamp profile on the lens should be long enough to balance the system. 

 

Attaching your lens to the MH-100

  1. Tighten the tilt knob of the head - make sure that the head’s Quick-release clamp is level so that the head is stable while you are loading your lens.
  2. Open the jaws of the quick-release clamp wide enough so that the jaws clear the entire width of the QR plate attached to the foot of your lens.
  3. While supporting your lens, insert the quick-release plate or replacement foot on your lens into the jaws of the clamp and tighten the clamp securely. Make sure the quick-release plate is seated properly and captive in the clamp jaws before letting go of the lens.

Balancing your lens on the MH-100

  1. Preparing to Balance: Tighten the Monopod Head’s tilt knob. Mount your lens (with camera body attached). Stand behind the lens/camera setup and grab the camera body as if you are going to take a picture.  
  2. Balance the Horizontal Position of the Lens: Hold camera body with a relaxed grip and loosen the tilt knob of the MonoGimbal. Adjust the horizontal position of the lens forward or backwards depending on how the lens tips (see figures below). You will notice that the lens will want to tilt forward or backward. Don’t forget to re-tighten the clamp after each adjustment. 

Mounting the MH-100 on the tripod:

There are two options for mounting the MH-100 on the monopod:

  1.  direct mounting on the tripod, the MH-100 has a 3/8" thread on the underside. 
  2. mounting in a quick-change clamp: the MH-100 has a 38 mm dovetail clamp profile on the underside for this purpose.
