[QUOTE="Don Kondra, post: 548380, member: 17688"] I used a tilt/pan head in the studio for a short while and didn't care for it, purchased a ball head which I liked better but ultimately I didn't care for having two tighten knobs. Up/down and sideways.. I now use a [url=http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/303591-REG/Manfrotto_322RC2_322RC2_Grip_Action_Ballhead.html?gclid=CjwKEAjwubK4BRC1xczKrZyj3mkSJAC6ntgrHDACsEodZdknedBgMPtWh_I8ReIcw7IoDHvIKeTqNxoC1UPw_wcB]Manfrotto Grip Action Ballhead[/url] in the studio for one hand locking and a gimbal for birding. The ball head I use for the odd panoramic shot. Can't comment on a monopod, I need three legs :) If I had to buy just one head it would be a gimbal. For static shots you do need to tighten two knobs to lock it down but the camera/lens is balanced and can be adjusted with one finger. You can concentrate on your composition without having to hold the weight of the camera/lens and worry about it flopping down if you loosen the wrong knob. DAMHIKT :) Cheers, Don [/QUOTE]
