any non-gimbaled head has the camera system center of gravity above the
pivot point. you unlock the head, the camera falls over unless you are
holding it with something. if you are going after static subjects, then this
isn't a big deal. if your head can be set to fairly stiff resistance, it's
not as important either.

Any discussion regarding the pros and cons of this line of reasoning
greatly appreciated.
Also, does anyone other than Manfrotto make geared heads and how smooth
are their geared heads. My experience with Manfrotto heads is that they
are not as smooth to operate as they should be.
