[QUOTE="skene, post: 385053, member: 13155"] I'm looking to pick up a new head to share between a Manfrotto and Gitzo tripods that I just picked up (my thought is only using one head to swap between them, because the Gitzo is a bit too bulky (long legged systematic) to lug around on my backpack for everyday use). Now I know that I'll be needing the 3/8th threading on it. However the question that I have would be should I be going QR or Arca for the head? Now I understand that an Arca would be more realistic if I had heavier lenses, and while I currently do not have anything that would justify the weight currently... would it be better thinking ahead (just in case). Or do I just stick with a QR head that would end up fitting my needs within weight specs? Now mind you the largest lens that I could probably ever see using would be a 70-200 as I'm not much into shooting wildlife where I would need anything any larger. So with that said... would there be any head that one would recommend using? I have been looking at Manfrotto and Gitzo heads currently, but if there are any other brands that I should look into, recommendations would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
