Lovely item but insanely overpriced

It is beautifully finished, perfectly anodised, fits and works EXACTLY as advertised. In any case, had I known about the JJC 1/4"-20 male to 3/8"-16 female adapter earlier, I would have bought it instead of Wimberley. at 1/4 price. because he does the same. at 1/4 price. Yes, it's only half as nice. at 1/4 price.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Also suitable for other tripods.

Used for another tripod, worked great. I had a Benro reducer head that was too low for my Gitzo Systematic tripod. The adjustment knobs hit the tripod when I panned or tilted my head up. This riser gave me an extra inch of clearance. Enough for all movements. The riser diameter matches the Benro base and looks good.

Pros
  • Nice item
Cons
  • No performance

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • For old
