Re: Ball head vs Pan & Tilt
One thing, that should be considered is pricing. In my experience a cheap 3D head performs better, is more stable, than a likewise cheap ball head. To really get a good ball head, you have to invest more, but in my personal optinion, that is a worthy investment. I got totally rid of all 3D heads long ago, though I keep one a my cupboard for the unlikely occasion, where I really need it...
I never considered the "grip-action" heads, as they are all fairly small in terms of capacity, but they sure have applicaitons, especially for sprts etc. - But for longer lenses, nothing beats a gimbal mount, anyway...
