I'm trying to decide between the Manfrotto 393 telephoto lens support (£120) and a Wimberley II clone from China on ebay here (£62). I prefer the look of the Wimberley clone and it's cheaper - does anyone have any experience of this model or a similar one? Any info appreciated.

If it was me ,I would stick with Manfrotto,as it gets great reviews and is a well respected name,the china copy I recon would crack at the stress points,as that doas happen with the real thing sometimes,that manfrotto looks just the ticket for you with the sigma,for me at the mo im enjoying the luttle panasonic bridge fz150,that needs no support :) and is belti when birding light.
