Beautiful Legs ....But No Head!!!

Hi Guys,

Just pick up a "HEADLESS" :bonk: Manfrotto 190XB Tripod.

What "HEAD" would you fit on it to suit my gear listed below.....

It all depends on what type of things you will be mainly shooting. For lots of macro then a geared head is best bit for sports maybe a heavy duty ball head, general advice is a 3 way head. That's what I have and I find it really useful for just about everything.
Your gear is medium to heavy with the big Sigma zoom attached so don't be tempted by super light weight stuff.
HTH

Personally I use the 486RC2 Ball Head, which I find suits my needs perfectly

I have the same legs, and have fitted them to the 804RC2 head, slightly more fiddly than a ball head but I wouldn't part with it

Your kit isn't that heavy, so I'd suggest a 486RC2 or 488RC2 ball head, or a 3 way head. It all depends on personal choice and what you want to photography. If in doubt, go to a good camera shop and try some out.

Ive got a 322RC2 and i love it.

I have a 068QR ball head and today just brought a 804RC2 3 way Pan and tilt head to go on my 055b legs

If you want a ballhead, chek out the Manfrotto 488RC2

It has the ball head, quick release plate AND the ability to do panning (the lever on the side).
It is a very good, sturdy, lightish head and thoroughly recomended.
