    Luland Produced Super Large Format Camera 3D panorama Tripod Head

    I thought I would share this head with you all. I've been using the Luland Sinar head with my P2, and it's been fantastic. So when I went looking for something to support 20 pounds of Toyo 8x10, I wanted to see if Luland had anything. They do, and I've been using it for a couple of months and, like the Sinar head, it's fantastic. It seems the Toyo is child's play for this thing. I can point it down to 45 degrees or anywhere in between, and with a slight tightening of the brass knob, it locks down completely. My other head would have had the camera falling ass over tit. In case you're looking for a ULF head, put this on your list to check out.

    I have one too and can confirm it’s really great.
    In fact everything they do is top notch CNC (lens boards, etc) and at extremely reasonable prices.

    Yes, Luland does make great copies

    I have at least a dozen of their Linhof Technika lens board copies

    and I watched those heads sell slowly for over a year

    not judging, observing

    Confusing. Not sure why you’re emphasizing “copies” so many times. You also used it earlier. They’re Linhof type. Many manufacturers make them. I don’t think most of us would call a bunch of many manufacturers’ cameras “copies” because, say, they follow a Philips design. It would be more appropriate to call them copies if they were knock-off’s, like with the Linhof logo an all. Anyway doesn’t really matter.

    Because they are. I have 5 Ries heads. Won’t buy a copy or a Phillips camera copy either!
