Hi Folks,

Looking to get a new ball head and having a difficult time deciding between the Actratec GP series or the the Markins Q Ball series.

I would be using it for Macro and Landscape work mostly. The heaviest combo at the moment would be D700 + 70-200 2.8 VRII

I am leaving toward the Acratech at the moment but thought I would get some expert opinions.

Thanks.

i moved from a pistol grip to the acratec GP-s and am happy - took a while to get used to it...

has many knobs - i almost lost my d800e / zeiss 15 2.8 some 100 ft over the mississippi river when i grabbed the wrong knob and the camera came loose while on the tribod while it was set agains the bridge guard rail - see if you can get a release lever for the mount
