Re: Ball Heads

[Alan Chan]

Have Gitzo improved their ballhead that much? I used G275 & G1276 ballheads 
and I would not use anything longer than 200mm on them. Those heads just 
would not lock tight enough for precise composition, especially when tilted 
vertically. Vibration is another issue, especially when the wind blows.

the 308 mounted on a good set of legs and set up properly should have no
problems with a 400/5.6. i use the Gitzo 1177M, which is a smaller head, on
a Gitzo 1128 CF tripod and have no problems with my FA* 400/5.6 and the
*istD.
