i'd suggest go for the ball head but it'll be a problem if u wanna shoot panoramas, others, i dont think i can see the problem

get the 322rc2 waiting for mine to show up
I'd also considered the 802rc4 and would be my choice for a pan tilt if I had to get one. But bringing the 322rc2 out will be alot more convenient than a pan tilt head

hahaha, i'm thinking of tht as well but the size i guess i'll hafta go try it out this weekend before deciding.

finally decided to get a 488RC4 , waiting for it to arrive

What, about same price with the 322rc2 but didn't get the grip instead? wanna kena hentam?

hahaha, i guess its just due to size and bulk, im already carrying too much gear and needa cut down on space. important when traveling

some ppl claim that 322's grip mechanism ain't that all great and can be pushed if too much force is exerted.

i would have gone for an arca swiss o at markin's ball head but the price is

You can control the amount of friction for the head it was so freaking tight that when it's locked. But I have not tried loading it to around max weight limit, and most heads are prone to a little bit of movement at around load limit anyway. But it is indeed quite huge....then again, you can just swing it upwards and leave it on the tripod/monopod, it merely adds some length. Regardless, anytime better than bringing a pan/tilt head out lar even with all the rods removed, it's still darn huge in most cases!

yes, def better than a pan tilt

get both....

ball head better? no way. i'm using a ball head also. the freaking just tilt dont when i lock the head. vertical okie la. if push up a bit. cannot dy

what ball head are you using?

so sorry. i have no idea what i wrote there in the first message. i am using a 488rc2 if i not mistaken.

i was trying to say that the ball head cant support a telephoto facing upwards

not many heads can do that

the arca swiss o kirk might just be able to.
