Subject: [Leica] Tripod Head Recommendations
From: "Greg J. Lorenzo" <gregj.lorenzo@home.com>

I recently purchased a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod rated to take 33 pounds
of camera and lens. I will use it primarily for my R8 in conjunction
with a telephoto lens but I also wanted the capability to use it for a
future medium format setup.

Now I need to purchase a head for this tripod.

I have been looking at the 5 series magnesium Gitzo heads but I would
also consider other brands as well.

Can someone recommend a good stable tripod head which meet the
requirements of strength plus light weight outlined above?

All suggestions welcome.
