FWIW, I've been using the Manfrotto 056 3D Junior head for all my lighter weight wooden folders for years with great results. It is similar in size and function to the 410. No gears, however, but no slop either when you tighten things down. Also, you can loosen all the controls and use the head like a ball head, or tighten one control and have movements with the other two, or use it conventionally, one movement at a time.
It is a bit lightweight for my monorails, but handles the Zone VI folder just fine.
