Pros:Small size, control levers, arm length, materials .....
Cons:no one
Opinion:I already had a 410 but I needed a ball head for the most dynamic situations and especially with weight and dimensions inferiori.rnLa head object is superb with the commands of the right size that make them functional while maintaining excellent ingombri.rnLa clutch works well (even I admit that I've never used with super tele ... with maximum 300 f / 4). Maybe a little 'hard axis scenic but nothing that affects their funzionalitàrnMi also like the bracket with a longitudinal excursion abundant. This allows you to move back room approaching the nodal point of the lens axis of rotation ... no small feat for those who want to try their hand at some panoramic without spending capital heads dedicate.rnAltra gem is the limit (red lever) that prevents the machine to go down too forward ... useful when shooting vertically or only to prevent accidental collision of the lens with a tripod when sbadataggine.rnAnni ago I had the 498 RC2 then donated to my girlfriend ... but certainly effective this is another planet!
Cons:Flimsy material and not reliable with super-telephoto.
Opinion:The material of the plate is fixed to the platform where I think it is very durable because after less than a year that I used with the 500 mm f4 + D300s, (total about 6 KG) has cracked and then broke the side where there is the knob to tighten the plate, putting at risk the equipment. fairly stable with light equipment, very comfortable on the road and fluid movements.
Pros:Excellent materials and light at the same time. Solid and well built.
Cons:Level bubbles are practically invisible, but it is quite unlikely to use them, especially in night shots
Opinion:Mounted on a Manfrotto 055 CXPRO3 brings 5DMKIII + 70-200 f4 without flinching. Even in the future, hoping to extend the telephoto lenses with a longer (and heavier), will have no problem. As I have at the moment (two lenses of about one kg each), tightening it, it does not move a micron making the perfect shot without shake-and absolutely. Of course, the cost is not indifferent, but security and including the tripod, in less than 2.5 kg can be used without excessive effort.
Pros:Excellent build quality and materials used, excellent leak tightness of the weight plate ideal for telephoto lenses, fluidity of movement.
Cons:No one
Opinion:I use this with a tripod head Manfrotto 055 pro carbon, an excellent match for the scope and lightness, very solid and precise movements, the predominant use with telephoto lens, its best feature for my needs is keeping the weight and fluidity by regulating the clutch so that all the weight of the equipment is moved in any direction without blocking completely the tightening knob and at the same time the whole remains in position without any sagging, practically as the operation of the heads rocker but with the advantage of the small size.
