The problem IMHO is that the heads weigh significantly more than they should...... I use 2 tripods: An old Reis ( 1940's vintage ) and a Gitzo 341. But hte head I use is a Bogen 3049. It is great head, but weighs more than the legs. I would like to see titanium heads with quick release heads also made from titanium. This would significantly cut weight at no difference in vibrations. Any machinists out there who would like to experiment with titanium on my dime? Tom? Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
