[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 281420, member: 13076"] Just playing around with the new Vanguard ABH-340K head I got today. Man, this thing is much smaller and lighter than the ancient 3-way head I had (which you can see in my thread with the D800 w. this same telephoto lens). Adjusting the tension on the ball is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, and it works really smoothly. Now I'm wondering why I never went with a ball head before? :confused: Anyway, it turns out that the Really Right Stuff plate that I got with the 300 mm works great with the Vanguard head, so below are some pics of the setup on the Nikon D4. Unboxing the head..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]78952._xfImport[/ATTACH] And the setup....
