Alright, i've had it with my 498RC2..
i've tried turning every damn knob tighter than i thought possible & it still sags.
even with the 70-300 & the 105mm..
for all ya know it may just sag with the 35mm too
Anyway, i think i need a new tripod head before i break my tripod legs in frustration.
Sam suggested a Arca Swiss clone - Milano but i can't seem to find it even listed anywhere here.. not even on ebay..
Any recommendations for something that is really quick and sturdy as sturdy can be..
On another note, would anyone here know of any DIY tricks that can help me adjust the existing 498RC2??
i think the problem is the clutch that holds the QR plate... it just doesn't sit tight enough..
maybe i can try roughing the sides or etching some marks so it sits?
am open to any ideas..
