I moved from the old Manfroto bigger ball head, which never was very satisfactory for me, to the Really Right Stuff RH40 (their medium ball head; it's GREAT for a D700 plus 70-200/2.8, but they say it's marginal for a 600/f on a D3). It's a huge improvement; the locks are much more positive and easy to use, AND the quick-release system is much better. (But then, this was moving from a second-quality ball to a first-quality ball, so this should be no surprise.) -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
