Precision manufactured? Here is my experience with the BH-55: while doing research in Nepal and walking down a grassy path in a national park, the large knob (the \"lockdown\" knob) became loose and simply fell out of the main part of the ballhead. This was shocking to me...I have never had this experience with any other ballhead...and the ballhead looked brand new. It was not like I was fighting off tigers and rhinos with the tripod (a wonderful Benro) and that awful RRS ballhead.
When I reported this to the folks at RRS, they told me this was a known problem...
Add to that their politics - against Proposition 8 in California - I avoid that company. They don\'t seem so mom and apple pie to me. They are a business - that si good - but their products need close scrutiny too. And they would do best to keep themselves out of politics.
