Vibrato alternatives

So I know this has been covered a little - but I've noticed that different guitarists use different methods for their vibrato. The one method I've seen posted on this forum is to release the thumb, lock the wrist and basically shake back and forth.

What other vibrato options does everyone use? I've been using the above vibrato with fairly good effect, but it isn't as good as Jimmy's, and I've seen both him and Olberg do something different on youtube videos.

Just found the answer to my own question. This is an explanation by Jorgenson of the vibrato that it seems to me is more commonly used than the technique described other places on the forum:
