Thank you to everyone, that posted in my Tripod Thread. Now, I need to figure out the other half of the equation. I have searched, with the search feature, through almost all the threads in the past 6 months, with the keyword \"ball head\"... I did not find much of any results, that helped, as most everyone seems, to be either looking at a less expensive route, or for a travel setup.
I have thoroughly, searched the RRS & Markins sites. Each head I have listed below, has a weight rating, but what else, helps identify the strengths & weaknesses of the heads I have listed. No matter which head, is chosen, I am intending to mount a B2 LLR II QR Plate, and order a ball without a head attached.
Maximum Gear Load/ Focal Length, I can ever for-see using, is a: 500/4 IS + 1D or 300/2.8 IS + TC + 1D....
Also is there a stability difference, between Flat Plates & L Brackets for bodies?
Thus far, this is the list I have:
RSS BH-55
RSS BH-40- What is the key difference between these two heads?
Markins M20
Markins M10- Again what is the key difference?
Any & all input will be greatly appreciated.
