    I have the B2 and think it is about the ideal LF head too. As has been mentioned, the *significant* advantage over the B1 or any other traditional ball head is the B2 is the dual-axis adjustments -- the ability to adjust side-side separate from fore-aft makes levelling of large cameras a snap.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the comments... I'll contact Jeff at Badger and see if he has one in stock.

    I'm presently using a Manfrotto 405 head and like it... but, I'd like a head with the Arca QR clamp on it.

    Again, thanks for all the comments... much appreciate it.

    Cheers
    Life in the fast lane!

    Just a late add - I have the B-2 and use it solely for 8x10. It's mounted on a GT5540S and I don't think there is a more stable platfrom made, period. The dual axies take just a little bit of getting used to compared to a ball head, but it's very fast to setup once you get familiar with it.
