Arca Swiss, RRS, Markins are probably the best, then Kirk and Acratech close behind.
I do not think they are expensive.
They cost more than the others because they work better, in macro for example compose the subject, lock down the head and it stays put, on cheaper heads the lens will droop slightly, loosing your composition.

That is exactly the problem I'm havingI've only noticed it recently when I was doing some architectural stuff and it needed to be spot on.
Might be time to look at some other heads.
Is there a UK distributer for RRS?
Unfortunately not..you have to order online through their website and pay by US$ and then the item is shipped, incurring tax and import duty.
By the way, I have the BH-55 (RRS) ballhead and it's simply awesome engineering. Very chunky and solid and the ball is super smooth

No RRS is USA only, Arca Swiss - Robert White, Markins - HERE, Acratech and Kirk - Wharehouse Express.
I have the Arca Swiss Z1, and also have an Acratech the Arca Swiss is the better of the two. I like the look of the Markins though.
