Is anyone using the new Wimberley head with these modular lenses? How is it working?

I agree completely. I have the V2 Wimberley head and a Gitzo 1548. While this combination is as steady as I have ever used , the extreme magnification makes technique important to achieving best results. I have been shooting Baseball (Spring Training) on a 5 series monopod ....280 head and 1X or 1.4X modules ....3rd day and just starting to get it right. Critical DOF at best 1-2ft and camera motion in shots at 1/1000 sec. The results are worth it.
