A high quality ball head can be partially tightened, allowing you to position the camera by hand and shoot without locking it down, without the slip-stick action common in cheap ball heads and most 3-way heads. There are no handles to jab you when you walk, or get in the way when you store or encase them. What advantages do they have?īall heads are smaller and lighter than 3-way heads with the same capacity. I have used tilt and pan heads exclusively but have been wondering about using a ball head. Thanks for all your input, much appreciated. My current tripod is ok with this but I do have plans in the future to buy a 70-200mm f/4 IS. My other camera is a Rebel XS and my heaviest lens is the 100mm 2.8 Macro for now. I am wondering how does the sturdiness of the Flashpoint compare to the Edward Ingold: Valid point. I have used a 3021 before and did not enjoy humping it around after the first 30 minutes. The allure of a CF tripod is pretty strong for me for it's weight saving. Does seem like for a little extra, the F-3 head is the way to go. What advantages do they Brian Schall: Thanks for the input on the Flashpoint. Will definitely use MLU from here on Gary Watson: I am 6 ft, so the 055 should be plenty high enough for me given that I use the WLF David Henderson: I am more of a landscape and cityscape shooter than anything else, with the occasional still and macro shots thrown in. Dave Wilson: I have a cable release on it's way, although not a soft style one.
