This is an excerpt from an article I found on Luminous Landscape:
<Begin quote> The Wimberley has, to my knowledge, only one significant
competitor, the Kirk King Cobra. I have no experience with this mount, so
I can't comment on it other than to note that unlike the Wimberley it
suspends the lens from the side, rather than the Wimberley design which
allows the lens to sit on a platform. This made it unsuitable for my
purposes, because the Pentax 600 doesn't have a rotating tripod collar.
Any lens without such a rotating mount will similarly not work with the
Kirk. At $440 the Kirk is somewhat less expensive than the Wimberley. This
price includes the quick release. <end quote>
you can find the complete article here:

It looks like he is referring to the 6x7 600/4... So that massive lens has
a tripod mount but it doesn't rotate? That's pretty silly. what's the
point of having a tripod collar on a lens if you can't rotate it.....?
