I was stumbling around on fleabay this afternoon and ran across a couple of Chinese-made geared heads that appear to be – wait for it – not based directly off existing designs!!! (well, at least none that I'm aware of…)
Has anyone taken the plunge and tried one of these? They're certainly not the prettiest I've seen, but they have a kind if industrial aesthetic that may appeal to some.
The same company makes a ballhead with a 100mm diameter, which they claim to be the largest diameter ball in the world. I can't vouch for the veracity of that statement, but the thing looks like an absolute monster.
I also see that Leofoto has now come out with what looks to be a direct copy of the Arca Swiss L60 leveler. Ah well, I guess it was only a matter of time…
