Ongoing health problems (use of only one arm) saw me resort to the 322 RC2 Heavy Duty Grip last year for single handed landscape framing.
After recovering I sold it on but the problem is back.
I now have a 808 RC4 Manfrotto Tripod head and wanted to flag it up as as a great head for anybody that has mobility problems.....
Whilst I only have one arm that I can use - anybody with issues such as arthritis should consider this. When you release the handles the whole camera isn't free to suddenly drop down 90 degrees - it's softly sprung to prevent it crashing down in any direction.
There are two balance springs in the vertical tilt (forward/backward) and horizontal tilt (left/right) movements. These springs enable you to more comfortably handle 8KG.

Just thought I'd point it out as I'm sure I'm not alone in having some kind of frustrating disability
