Loving the Acratech GXP Ballhead!

Is that the Kirk QR system on that head? One of the reasons I rejected the Arcatech heads a few years ago was that the base was a bit too large for the small RRS plates with the stupid raised edge.

Yes, it is. Solid product, both literally and figuratively. The base plate fits both the Acratech and Markins well, is well-made and light. Only functional negative about the system is that is that the quick release clamp is a little heavy (about 0.5 lbs) and adds a small but not really trivial bit of height. Also, more superficially, if I had a choice I think I would have preferred all black rather than the satin-finished components.
