I have used the Sidekick with the BH55 - the combination works very well.

Dan,
The main issue with a lens plate for this type of setup is to have it be long enough to allow you to adjust the balance point when you add or remove teleconvertors and also a flash (preferrably on a bracket). The folks at Wimberley are very helpful and only a phonecall away at 1 (888) 665-2746 . BTW, the Wimberley flash bracket is excellent!
