Dear Colleagues,
I'm looking for advice on the appropriate Bogen tripod head for a Toyo 45D. I ma y also occasionally use my old B&J 5x7 on it (inasmuch as no one was dumb enough to try to buy it from me. Oh, well.).
I rather like Bogen's 3047 ("Deluxe 3-Way Pan Head"). But the hexagonal quick re lease plate I demo'd in a local photo store seemed to be a little "wiggly" with my 4x5 on it. That was a used head; wear of some sort could have produced the un wanted "play" in the quick release.
I'd spend the extra bucks for the 3057 (Heavy Duty Head). But I can't determine from Bogen's catalogue photo and description whether it's a 3-way pan head. Kind a looks like it, but I'd like to be sure.
And, while you're contemplating the above, what might your thoughts be on the ap propriate *legs* to put under the head? Most use would be in the field. And I do n't plan to carry it *too* far.
Thanks for your counsel.
Best,
Denny Wilkins
