Happy happy

On the one hand, it is a well-made, high-quality object.  On the other hand, is it really worth $52?  I am looking at it side-by-side with another 2.5x longer Arca Swiss plate and I am not not convinced that the Wimberley is that much better.  If the price difference is truly the cost of "Made in USA" vs. "Made in China," then we are in trouble.  Personally, I want to believe that most of the difference is the fee of the numerologist/astrologer who came up with the improbable exact dimensions of this plate, which make no sense, whether in metric units or funny units (I mean: 98mm or 3.9":  Who came up with that stuff?).
The two little "safety stops" are only as good/useful as the manufacturing tolerance of the lens's collar lets them be.  I bought this plate to mount on a Canon 400mm f/5.6 and the Wimberley's safety stops don't make a clean contact with the lens's angled  collar/plate connection (although it is the recommended plate for this lens).
Would/will I buy it again?  Well, since I only have a couple of lenses that can benefit from this kind of plate, yes I would.  I probably wouldn't if I had to buy 6 of them.

Good quality, but overpriced

Strong, permanent, light for carry when travel. Good

Should order it for any heavy lens

I purchased this to be used with the Wimberley sidemount head on a Gitzo tripod with a Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens. It mounted to the lens without any issues and I have been using the lens on and off since June without any issues. I would absolutely recommend this plate.

Excellent Mount!

I keep this plate permanently mounted to my Canon 70-200mm/2.8 IS II, and the length makes it so easy to pop onto my SA Z1 head and get it to level out, especially when shooting video with a 5D3. A short plate would never work.

Perfect for the 70-200mm/2.8

Had to buy this to attach my Wimberley Gimbel head to my Canon 400 DO with my 1Dx.   What can I say?  It balanced perfectly.  My only issue is why did I wait so long to get these products.  It makes shooting those birds so fun without carrying the heavy load.

Perfect fitting

Typical Wimberley fine quality in a very stiff plate.  My only negative is that for my purposes I wish the end hole were capture holes for a shouldered screw.

Well made Plate

I bought this specifically for use with a 300/2.8 when a tripod or monopod is needed. It will also serve well with a 70-200/2.8. The machining and details are top quality. As a result, the fit with top quality heads by RRS, Kirk, etc. is perfect. Attachment to tripod is fast and sure, and I know I can count on things remaining in place. The length of the P20 is sufficient to allow proper balance with my Canon lenses and bodies. A longer version such as the P30 will give more adjustment range (sliding within the head clamp) if you want it to function in the manner of a macro rail. Be sure to use the anti-twist screws.

Well-made, confidence inspiring

I added this plate to the tripod collar/foot on the new Nikon 80-400mm lens.  I did not like the short foot, and I wanted to be able to use the lens with my tripod or monopod.  It aligned perfectly and does what I expected.

Works as it should

recently i have purchased a redged ball head from adorama which came with a plate.Plate was poorly made & my canon 100-400 kept on rotating and slipping off the axis .changing to this plate solved that problem as it came with a non rotating mechanism.excellent plate.
