Something like this?dRebelXT said:Sigh, I didn't take photo of the head, since there were so many people in the outing.
It looks like large normal head but one can twist and turn the camera at ease without
first loosing the handle/screw. Once motion is stopped, the camera stops still and holds
its position without tighterning a screw.
this one doesn't stop and lock into position when motion is stoppedcatchlights said:Something like this?

torsion control? is it because of the knob that you can adjust it to different tensions to suit your different needs...?markccm said:really?

cos for mine, i loosen the knob and reposition my lens before tightening back. I can't move the lens without loosening the knobmarkccm said:yes...
and u can move it to the angle u want, let go & it stays.
strange y u say it does not lock into position.
wonder y....

if i don't loosen, my lens will have lens creep, if i tighten, i cant move my lens:bsmilie: :bsmilie:markccm said:u r not supposed to loosen duh....
u r supposed to adjust to the correct tension whereby u can still move ur cam, but yet it stays when u take your hands off.
if have to tighten all the time, might as well use a normal Manfrotto head liao.
no need to spend so much for this tension control thingy.

Hmmm...so I set it to tension 12 and still move it? cos i've tried the ballhead and it creeps when i mount my 300 2.8 on it tilted at an angle, same as my own ballheadcatchlights said:buy a $400~$500 tripod head and don't know how it works?
the ballhead i tried belongs to my friend. i currently use a kang rinpoche nb-1, similar to the arca swiss B-1markccm said:maybe its a gift to him or not bought with his own $?
