Wimberley FAQs and Support Topics
Can I use the Sidekick with a Bogen Ball Head?
The geometry or profile of Bogen/Manfrotto quick release clamps are not Arca-Swiss compatible and therefore are not compatible with Wimberley Quick Release Plates, and thus the Sidekick.
There are only a few models of Bogen/Manfrotto ball heads that can be fitted or retro-fitted with a modified Wimberley arca-swiss C-12 quick release clamp due to the mounting hardware configuration of the ball shaft:
Bogen 468/469 – takes our Quick Release Clamp part #C-11
Manfrotto 468MG Hydrostatic – takes our Quick Release Clamp part #C-11
For other models of Bogen/Manfrotto ball heads, take a look at our Ball Head Compatibility Chart
