Having done lots of research into what would suit my needs best, I have narrowed it down to the Acratech GP-SS and will use it on both a monopod and a tripod. The heaviest it will need to support is a Canon 100-400mm + 1.4x (sometimes) + 7D2 = 2,685 g.
I currently use a Manfrotto ballhead and am not satisfied with its ball's ability to hold the lens steadily at an angle without a small slip no matter how much ball tension is applied. I use lens tripod collars on all my lenses.
I could ask Acratech and also their UK retailer Bob Rigby but they will have the biass of wanting to sell their product to me. Hence my question here:
What is your experience of any Acratech ballhead's abilities to lock down and hold without any slippage, please?
^ Does anyone else think that the presenter reminds them of Max Headroom?
Many Thanks for any advice or comments.
Calling Steven @sk66 - I understand you are very knowledgeable on this subject, so would value your input.
