[QUOTE="hark, post: 564782, member: 13196"] Walt, I looked up your ball head--I have an older Bogen Manfrotto head with two of those types of levels on it. Personally I would only try to level both at the same time if I was doing something that was more critical when it comes to perspective. An example would be when using an ultra wide lens, such as 14mm on FX or 10-12mm on DX, to try and ensure the lines are straight. Using both would come in handy for architecture or realtor photography. As for the problem when tightening down the head, sorry I can't offer any help as I don't have that one. I wonder if @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-6277-don-kuykendall.html"]Don Kuykendall[/URL] has a head like that as I thought he's mentioned using a Vanguard tripod. I did take a quick look at [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=mainLogin.jsp&A=continueShopping&Q="]B&H's reviews of this head[/URL], and here is the most critical review they have listed for it. Their main gripe is about the head moving while tightening the head as you've mentioned. [COLOR=#707070][FONT=OpenSans] [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
