Oh, have not thought of that, I was just worried that it would
be sort of tricky to adjust without large handles.

I have looked at that one, and it it one of my alternatives.

Well, I guess that the strength of 3-way heads is the precise
control, but what I can see on the 460MG, you have to grab the
camera and adjust the position in a similar way as on a ballhead.
I thought that the idea then could be that you can use that head
both like an ordinary 3-way head and a bit like a ballhead.
That was the reason behind my question.
Regarding ballheads, people here on the list have said that it
is not good for macro photography, and as that is one thing I
would like to test, I hesitate a bit to get one.

That is also one of my alternatives.

Even though I may sound a bit ungrateful, I am not, I just
want to avoid throwing away money. Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
