LensCoat Wimberley WH-200 Cover Forest Green Camo - Gimbal Head

In this review the LensCoat Wimberley WH-200 cover is evaluated as a purpose-built protective sleeve for photographers who use gimbal heads in the field. The bottom line: it is for shooters who want a snug, durable, and inconspicuous way to protect a Wimberley-style gimbal from dings and temperature extremes while improving handling in cold or hot conditions. The review finds the cover excels at fit and protection, with a camouflage finish that helps break up the head's silhouette around wildlife and a closed-cell neoprene construction that doubles as a thermal barrier.

Key Features

• Form-fitted Closed-cell Neoprene: provides a tailored fit that cushions the gimbal head against scrapes and preserves finish over repeated use.
• Protects from Scrapes and Bumps: the neoprene material absorbs minor impacts so the head keeps its resale value and cosmetic condition.
• Thermal Barrier: acts as insulation so hands feel more comfortable when operating the gimbal in very cold or very hot conditions.
• Forest Green Camo Pattern: helps break up the shape of the head and makes the setup less noticeable to wildlife during field work.
• Made in the USA: built quality and attention to detail are evident in the stitching and fit, giving confidence for heavy outdoor use.
• Compatible with Induro GHB2: also fits other similar-size gimbals, adding versatility for photographers with multiple heads.

Who It's For

This cover is best for wildlife, bird, and nature photographers who regularly use a Wimberley-style gimbal head and need lightweight protection that does not interfere with operation. It suits anyone who values keeping gear cosmetically intact and who wants warmer hands during cold shoots or less heat transfer on sunny days.

Photographers who prefer a minimalist, hard-case system or those who require full weatherproofing for extreme wet conditions should look elsewhere; this is a neoprene cover aimed at protection from bumps and temperature, not a waterproof housing or a lockable security solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Snug, form-fitted design that stays in place and is easy to install.
• Neoprene construction offers both impact cushioning and thermal insulation for more comfortable handling.
• Camouflage finish reduces visibility to wildlife and improves field aesthetics.
• Made in the USA with good build quality and reliable stitching.

Cons

• Not intended as a full waterproof cover, so it will not replace a dedicated rain cover in heavy downpours.
• Limited to gimbals of the appropriate size; fit should be checked for unusual or very large heads.
