It's the preferred head by a sizeable number of nature and sports shooters using any brand of 600/4 or larger lens. They also make a smaller version called a Sidekick which is designed to fit into the QR plate holder of an Arca type ballhead when the plate is dropped into the 90 degree slot. then the QR plate it put on the plate holder of the Sidekick. It is used mainly for lenses up to about 500/4.5 or so. And is cheaper if you already have a compatible ballhead. Kent Gittings
