Look at the 460Mg 3 way magnesium head. I like it very much, it has a
spirit level built in, quick release and it much lighter than most of the
ball heads. I am slightly biased because I have never used a ball head long
term, only borrowed others for short periods, but I find 3 way heads much
better for fine tuning and panning.
Also make sure you get the spikes for the feet at some stage!

Subject: OT: Manfrotto heads, please help!
Hello all,
tomorrow I'm going to buy myself a new tripod. The choice is the 055PRO
(former 455, Bogen #3021PRO), the one which offers the ability to mount
the central column horizontally.
I thought I'd take the Proball head (468RC, Bogen 3435QR) and get both
precision and mobility but I discovered that this head is not
reccommended with the tripod and (more important) is way out of my
budget since it costs about twice the tripod.
The remainig options are: the smaller 308RC (Bogen 3413QR) ballhead or
the older 168 (Bogen 3055). I think I remember not very good comments
about the last one and the first looks a bit too light for my liking.
Do you have any experience or advice?
Should I look at standard 3-way heads?
The tripod will be used mainly for macro shots, then landscape photos
and very little studio.
Thanks in advance, Flavio
