Ruel Tafalla 12-18-2006, 03:01 PM Im using a ballhead...Arca swiss to be exact.. I have used both, I prefer the ballhead type because of it's simplicity...and handles well for big lenses... Imho.. ruel fidel_mercado 12-18-2006, 03:28 PM Ballhead for convenience. Got a moderately-priced Giottos model. I agree with Ruel, simple to use indeed. Tried a Pan-Tilt and I found it to be too much of a hassle with the multiple knobs. zandy_marantal 12-18-2006, 03:34 PM I'm using a ballhead (Kirk BH-3). Why? -That seems to be the general concensus of every photography forum I've been to so why go against the flow. I'm fairly happy with mine but I think I'm ready for an upgrade since the BH-3 creeps a little when I mount a heavier lens. regards, kengo 12-18-2006, 05:03 PM Started out with some Manfrotto ball heads, but ended up getting a geared pan and tilt, so I can make precise changes to specific axis without changing the other axis (when critical framing is required). bernard billedo 12-19-2006, 11:59 AM Ballheads for me. I use the Manfrotto 484RC -- very compact, light and can support a camera with a 70-200 f4L. dave_trinidad 12-19-2006, 12:08 PM right now i'm using a Slick AMT tripod and monopod but i want to shift to a ballhead. what is a moderately priced, portable, tripod and ballhead combo that can support D200 with grip and a 70-200mm lens? thanks for any suggestion. I wanna buy before the year ends. :) rosalie_gomez 12-19-2006, 12:22 PM I'm using a ballhead (Kirk BH-3).

I prefer the simplicity of the ballhead. Glenn Francisco 12-19-2006, 01:00 PM manfrotto ballhead...as what they said..simplicity. mitzpicardal 12-21-2006, 12:11 PM Is Really Right Stuff (RSS) ballhead available in the Phils? Where? What's the best ballhead available in the Phils.? Good for D200 and 70-200 only. AndrewTungBorlongan 12-28-2006, 01:18 AM i got a manfrotto 804RC2 three way head :) Joey Zaballero 12-29-2006, 09:59 PM I have both. I use the ball head on my lightweight travel tripod because set-up needs to be quick (before they shoo you away). I use the pan and tilt one for official (and authorized) photo shoots, usually architectural shots so I can make minor adjustments per plane (horizontal vertical). Both are Manfrotto models (forgot the actual numbers). Joey Leonard Formoso 12-29-2006, 10:48 PM Guys Where do I buy screws or treads for the tripod mounting. I want modify my tripod. Leonard dindin_lagdameo 12-30-2006, 12:09 AM 322rc2 pistol grip for me... full control though bulky head. arneldelrosario 01-31-2007, 02:06 PM Am using the Kirk BH-3. arneldelrosario 01-31-2007, 02:06 PM Am using the Kirk BH-3.
