Hello All,
My first thread, so another newbie.
I am in the market for a tripod, bullhead and gimbal. I am very interested in Really Right Stuff TFC-34L Mk2 for the tripod and Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ball Head with Lever-Release panning clamp. Not sure on gimbal as yet but will be in the Wimberley WH-200 class. The question is: Will the ball head be suitable to mount a gimbal on it? With the panning clamp you will be able to level it. The ball head is rated for fifty pounds. I was interested in the ball head with the panning clamp to avoid buying a Really Right Stuff TA-2U with Lever-Release Clamp leveling base that is rated for 25 pounds. To me mounting a RRS BH-55 without the panning clamp on the leveling base defeats the ball head's fifty pound rating. Trying to go cheap with expensive equipment!
Thanks,
Pat
