I use the basic 141 head, on a 055NAT tripod. I like it, but if the 460MG would
have been available at the time, I think I would have taken that instead.
It makes the tripod easier to take with you on longer tavels because there are
no long handles sticking out everywhere :-) It is also very light.
If I ever by a carbon tripod (still too expensive I think) it will probably
get this head ....
