I recently was introduced to these ball heads and was interested in them primarily because of their tilt lock function where a lever on the head locks the head into just turning on one plane. This seems like it would be the best of both worlds, with the flexibility and compactness of a ball head, and the functionality of a standard two axis head. I primarily shoot 4x5 for portrait work so the fore and aft tilt is used constantly but usually once I've set the horizontal level it stays there for the remainder of the shoot.
No local dealer carries these so I wanted to see if anyone had tried them and what their opinions were.
Thanks for any help.
