My Gears – Ball head update ….

update Ball head family | liewwk

I have recently quite active in wildlifes shooting and make me upgrade my Manfrotto 516 video head to Sachtler FSB8 … and let share overall my experience with my gear …

1. my main landscape ball head – FLM 38FT with FLM QRP70 + LB30 balancer

– it sturdy, good fiction control

– use it for Canon 300mm F2.8 IS2 without any issue

2. standby or travel ball head – FLM 32F with Fotopro standard arca swiss QR system

– good up to 70200 F2.8 lenses portrait mode no issue

– fiction control is good

– light and smaller size

– the QR without safety lock so have to take extra care

3. Pano Head – Nodal Ninja NN5

– use for pano

– with new install arca swiss QR , flexible compare to older tradition plate

– only use for large print purpose project
