Any reviews?
Hi Pao .. great link Jeff !!
The unit is well thought out and solid!! Since I've been using it don't use my full Wimberley much... use it for the 500 and 600 lens. The only down side (which I would not bother considering) is customer support, at times will take a while to get things done but they will ! Highly recommended !!!
Also would I require a replacement feet with this product?
I would be supplementing my Wimberley with this.
Any word on possibility of a retro fit of previous Mongoose model? Or do you have to purchase an entirely new unit?
Hi Erik,
Go to the 4th Generation Designs website http://stores.4gdphoto.com/-strse-HARDWARE-UPGRADES/Categories.bok Toward the bottom of the left hand side column is a heading called "HARDWARE UPDATES".
There are a couple of different options to upgrade a M-3 series Mongoose.
1. M-3 Ultimate Upgrade: replaces your previous model with the 3.6....$275
2. M-3 Great Upgrade: Reworks your existing mongoose with some of the technology of the M-3.6....$98
3. Standard Upgrade: Changes a couple of pieces.....$0.00.

Pao Just need a plate to mount, like with any other head !!
Has anyone used the lock device on the 3.6 when moving around.
Does anyone use the Mongoose with the Low Arm?
If so has anyone tried to use the Wimberely Flash Bracket (F-9) with the Mongoose-Low Arm combo?
Thanks,
Michael
As price is the same should I go Wimberley (which I have already) or the lighter M-3.6? Will be using it on a 500 & 800
Michael The flash bracket for the Mongoose is tiny and convenient, can't imagine using anything else !!!
Pao I use the Mongoose with the 600 which is heavier than the 800 !! If I don't have to walk a lot do prefer the full Wimberley, just easier changing converters, balancing and safer .. but the 3.6 will perform !!!
Thanks Phil!!!
