I'm using RRS BH-55 ball head and it is good for my Ebony 4X5 and Shenhao 8x10 camera

I recently added a RRS BH-55 with a PCLR clamp on to to my collection. The clamp has its own panning base and spirit level. So once you level the clamp/panning base, you can pan and not lose level (i find this to be a great starting point because a slight change in composition (slight pan left or right) does not require re-leveling everything - also a good practice to level the camera and use rise/fall rather than pointing the camera up or down). This lightened my load because by eliminating the add-on leveling base from between my tripod and the existing BH-55 head.
