I'd like to ask what the general consensus is regarding the suitability of the Gitzo G1370M tripod head for 8x10.
I recently purchased on Ebay from a large, well-known NYC photographic outlet a used G1570M head for use on my G1548 MkII carbon fiber legs. But what arrived yesterday was a G1370M head which is a little smaller than the G1570M.
Communications with the seller today indicates that they do not have the G1570M head that I purchased. So I am wondering about keeping the smaller G1370 if we can come to an agreement on price.
My 8x10 is an old Ansco (pre-Agfa) which is not terribly heavy. The G1370M seems adequate for the task. Being smaller and lighter it also makes transporting the tripod easier. For bigger cameras I still have a couple of Ries tripods. But those guys are getting heavier every year!
So, I'd like to ask your thoughts please.
