The CB is priced well (~$500) and probably would be a good deal. I was turned off a bit by all the knobs. But it will probably function well and it's compact to transport.


That's what I like in the CB, you have one small side knob to adjust the minimum friction and you let it there, the other big one you play with to stop or let it loose.

Another feature of the CB I love, is the safety lock lever when you change body/lens or move the tripod.

Nice write up Richard and nice piece of gear. Funny, I emailed RRS about that very item a few days ago.

Does anyone with this RRS gimbal have a problem with the rotating base arm not locking fully? Because of the design, a brass slug in a hole, unless the fit is perfect then there is small rocking motion even when it is tight, unless you really get excessive with the pressure. Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Beagletorque

I checked the RRS full Gimbal head now and there is no movement when locked - absolutely no movement.

Regards

Very well written review Richard, I think I will hang onto my Wimberlies but I do like the look of RRS clamp and baseplate which looks as if it may fit a Wimberley 2
