that looks like an interesting head! sure is an odd design, but I can see how it would make tilting simple. Those knobs, do they feel as small as they look?
Here is one of my Chamonix 4x5, in the Mojave again:

If Arca-Swiss simply distributed a photo as cool (and basic) as that one, they would have sold twice as many Cubes.
Now I can really see why the Korean (and the Arca) head is fairly expensive -- pretty amazing hardware.
But I agree, the 8x10 and the head seem a bit much for a #2-series tripod!
Daniel,
Chamonix 045 with a ries tripod kind of weird, a super light camera with a heavy duty tripod.
The knobs on the geared head is pretty big (I think it is bigger than Arca's). So far everything is smooth.
Here is the first Chamonix 045N1 on this continent. I took the picture about this time last year.

Daniel, i noticed when i had your camera on my carbon fiber gitzo that it felt like the whole thing was going to tip over if i touched it or put a holder in it. It was almost too light of a set up!
