Looks good. A. Outlet of years ago I purchased the Manfrotto fluid head for a do all head. Works great & only cost $150 us. This looks so much smaller & lighter. Great vid.
Good 411! I bought an acratech gpss last year, it is amazing. Made in USA quality. It is a pleasure to use solid and sturdy. I thought about the pano head, and may end up with one eventually.
I've been using the same combination for a couple of years. It has all but replaced my Kirk Bh-1 ball head for landscape photography. An ideal combination, especially for panoramas.
If I understand this correctly, this Arcatech system allows you to rotate around the axis of the camera, but not around the nodal point of the lens? Do you attach a nodal plate or do you find that you did not need this?
Can this do portrait mode? I am looking to replace a floppy ball head and this seems to be a good fit, but I often take shots in portrait mode. In other words, what won't this ball head do?
