I use this head with a lever style clamp. MPG01S I believe. I looked at the Wimberley mono head and I didn't like that they use more plastic than this one. I mount a Nikon Z9 with a Z400mm lens on a Leofoto 404C monopod and the combination is rock solid.
Easy to use, light stable and smooth for video too, great deal better than those from the more expensive brand..hint..hint!
As a wildlife Photographer that specializes in Birds in Flight, big, heavy lenses are a must. And so are very sturdy, secure support platforms. Shooting birds is alot of footwork and quick deployment. My go to is a Monopod, and my new fav is the sturdy Leofoto MPD-404C topped with the Leofoto MPG-01 Side Saddle Tilt Head. This head is super strong, light and a precision work of art! My Canon 400mm f4 mounted on my gripped 7D MK II easily balances and works like a dream, very fluid and very precise. Have taken many award winning shots with this combo and the quality (backed by a HUGE 10 year warranty) will last me years to come.
