Re: Ball head vs Pan & Tilt
From my experience, ball heads with even a little bit of creep are an absolute pain to use when doing macro work/tele shots. Given my choice, I'd use a pan-tilt with a rail for accurate camera distance-to-subject adjustment. Also I find ball heads quite difficult to use when doing panoramas, or maybe it could be that I'm missing a level. I typically do panoramas handheld, resting on a rail or something, which works for all but >180º shots.
