    I found a used B2 ballhead from a online dealer, this looks promising. I will try it out. Will it work well wit Peak design mount?

    • @mmorris8
      @mmorris8 19 дней назад

      I don’t think so. What I saw of the peak design didn’t lend itself to a traditional ball head. That being said, it was many years ago, and I could definitely be mistaken.

      @@mmorris8 I already have peak designs universal head adapter. So can install any ball head. My question was regarding the tolerances of the arcaswiss clamp, I know Peak Designs should be compatible with arcaswiss, but I've not seen or hear anyone say of it fit this one. I'm just being cautious in case tolernaces are odd between them. This ball head is just so cheap. But as usual I might be over thinking it.

  • @Whiskybottle118
    @Whiskybottle118 Год назад

    I've just bought one of these heads to replace a Benro B1 on a 1-series mountaineer. The Gitzo is rather taller than the Benro and a bit heavier. The Gitzo seems to need more force to get it moving, than to keep it moving whereas the Benro needs about the same force to start moving and maintain movement. The result is the Benro is much easier to make small adjustments important for macro whereas the Gitzo is rather jerky, the Tungsten Disulfide coating doesn't seem to be doing what is claimed. The pan movement is seemless on the Benro whereas the Gitzo has a degree of loose movement before more controlled. Both these effects are independant of the friction setting though clearly the tighter the friction the more force required to move it. Both heads seem quite capable of holding my unbalanced macro setup at funny angles. The Benro is several years old now and has been used in all weathers, the Gitzo was second hand and appears completely unused. Even s/h the Gitzo was three time the price of the new Benro. Not field tested it yet but guess what... The Benro is back on the tripod

    They do make a snap on leather carry strap that balances the bag when carried with it (if you clip in towards the front of the straps, not the back) and can act to secure the bag on a luggage cart like a pass through does. I think Ona suggests that handle as more of a quick grab handle, lifting it from the floor to a table or desk, pulling from an overhead on a plane, etc...but do not suggest carrying the bag with it long term.

      Absolutely. The norm for carryon limits is around 27" x 21" x 14" and the Photocross 15 is well under that, at 17.5" x 10.6" x 5.5". You should have no difficulty with that bag as a carry-on item.

Thers a bug. I though this video could explain me a solution.. Instead not.

    I am thinking to buy FGP28A (Aluminium) since both are the same design and functionality except the material used. Any suggestion on Benro GX25 ball head?. Cause I am buying them together. My concern is, is it sturdy enough to hold Nikon Z6ii + 24-70MM lense in horizontal setup?. For the horizontal setup, I observe that the weight of the camera will not be in the centre of the tripod, so I am assuming that the weight of the camera might damage the centre column holder and break sometimes, not sure how sturdy it is (is it made up of plastic or metal). Hope it should not damage the tripod mount/locking system. Any kind of information if you share is really helpful to decide. Thanks Shashi

    I bought this tripod and ball head but ended up swapping to the screw-knob model. I felt it unnecessarily requires too much force to secure/release the camera and, as you mentioned, there is no lock on it. I am much more comfortable with the trusty screw-knob that I have always used. What I love about this set is the BH40 sits perfectly on top of the tripod mount, matching in diameter. The Gitzo tripod mount is too wide for this ballhead - not a functional problem but doesn't look that good.
