Re: RRS or Gitzo high-end head, narrowed down to two specific choices
Was just wandering around RRS site, and guess what, BH-40 and BH-55 balls are hollow, same as the Gitzo models mentioned. Interesting. As you observed, not getting response from anyone here who's used the Gitzo. Of the RRS models, I'd probably be going for the BH-40, mostly on-the-fly so every pound matters. Given that I'm… -

BH-55L I went with the bigger one. The 40 would have probably done me fine too. Take your pic of Gitzo tripods. Yes the Carbon Fiber ones are even more expensive and they are worth it.

Yeah for sure. Makes good sense. I'd say you'd be plenty happy with that combo. 190CXPRO3 and BH-40. Definitely jealous of that ball head. It's a gorgeous one.

So: Manfrotto 488 - 31.75mm RRS BH-40 - 40mm RRS BH-55 - 55mm Do we know the diameter of the ball for the Gitzo GH2780QR? I think the RRS ball head my buddy had that I played with that I was telling you about was about 2-2.5" in diameter, which is closest to the BH-55. It was fairly lightweight for it's size, 15 years old,… -
Re: RRS or Gitzo high-end head, narrowed down to two specific choices
Interesting, we all have favorites. I also go for knobs rather than levers, so called RRS on that. Response I got was perfectly logical, as one would expect from them. Apparently the 40 is of so small a size that a proportioned knob would be too small a diameter to comfortably handle, thus the lever. The 55 is enough…
