For gimbal dudes
Ann:
That's what wishful thinking will do?!
;D
Erik Lund:
Yes ;D I know the feeling 8)
Please go find the new brochure on the D6 - It's amazing
Ann:
I have been reading it . . . and the D6 is amazing.
:)
MFloyd:
Hereunder my Really Right Stuff ballhead in “gimbal configuration”. May be somewhat less efficient than a gimbal, but it avoids having to take an additional heavy piece of equipment. And for Ann & Erik: with the extraordinary D6 attached ;D
RSR Ballhead used as gimbal
Setup works up to 60 degrees without interfering with the tripod.

Wimberly makes a monopod gimbal. It mounts to an Arca Swiss clamp. Elsewhere in the "what the nerds do" section, I made a home-made version of this (neatened up a bit since that post) and it works quite well, though you do need a pretty sturdy head on the monopod. Mine has a ball head that's hard to tighten. A tilt-only head would likely be a little better.
The monopod gimbal is not centered over the column, but this doesn't seem to cause a problem once you're used to it, but the sideways mount isn't ideal for a camera body.
