The B2 is a different creature altogether, because you can control the two axes separately, like on a normal pan-tilt head.
game said:I do like those hybrid solutions. What about the bogen 405 410?

game said:Thanks again.
As I stated before I feel attracted to the bogen 410. . . . there is one feature I tend to find somewhat important: the angle of the backward tilt. When shooting straight up. I find my bogen 141RC limited here. And the old gitzo no2 and the a big old low profile gitzo I have (dont knwo number) too.
Can anyone comment on that?

game said:Thanks soeren for the recommendation. that is on the fact that a ballhead is nice, the one you actually recommended is way over my head price wise.
I have several ballheads that seem very good to me.
the arca swiss b1 being one of them. b2 is alos tooooo pricey. the b1 is too to be honest. I also like the superball by foba. Kindoff dig the idea of having an all foba tripod...
what about this:

in the mean while I still like to hear some more on the bogen 410 head...
thanks Game
game said:thanks for th info!
what exactly is left and right handed on a ballhead?
thanks Game
game said:ah thanks
that was what I thought allready only I figured, why not turn the ball 180 degrees to make it left when its right and the other way around, only there is still the QR that has a fixed side...
I for one, need a left ball I think. that's How I have always worked... Is left standard on most brands?

I love the Bogen (Manfrotto) 410, the geared movements, but will not buy one until they offer it without their quick-release. I have too much invested in RRS and Kirk plates to fall back on Bogens solution. extend the Linhof out, doing 1:1 and they tell me that things are shakey with the 410 in that mode. Bogen ... listen up!
game said:usefull info thanks!
I work with a 141rc at the moment and pentax often rotates from the QR on that one. Very annoying.
Then again, I supose the one on the 410 is a little better than the one on the 141rc.
but if I understand correctly, .... a head with a build in QR is not capable of usage with a for instance Really Right Stuff plate made exclusivally for ones camera type?

From the photo, it doesn't look like you can.game said:"... Looking at this head, I suppose I can not replace the plate only... right...?"
Not sure if RRS has one, but Bogen does (or did). It screws onto the tripod in place of a camera and takes the hex plates."... I will have to not only buy a 65 dollar plate at for instance RRS, but the holder as well. And is even that possible...?"
