Spend the bucks on a gimbal mount head. I've made the decision to do that myself. I'm tired of fighting with ball heads and 3 way heads with my 300 ƒ2.8. For images of stationary items I use a geared head, but for birds, planes, and running dogs I think a gimbal head will be best.

Does anyone here have any pros or cons on that decision?

Unfortunately, the head on it isn't so wonderful. It's off a $60
vivitar tripod I picked up some years back and is neither particularly
sturdy, nor particularly easy to use. I think I see a trip to San Jose
Camera in my near future to pick up a Manfrotto ball head.

I couldn't remember most of what I know today
if it weren't for others sharing their knowledge
of my past on the Internet. Thank you…
