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

previous related share
a quick share of my new macro setup …..
simply quick test on my new setup on previous post
I had slow down a lot on macro for pass 6 months ….
my previous testing on my lighting …. is mainly for Canon MP-E65 or you may refer here and only once I test my SIGMA150 light HERE …
and now …. I am working on my new SIGMA 105 OS … as below .. just a start for how I bring my flash closer …. and making the diffuser in progress …….
and stay tune .. more testing result for 5dm2 + SIGMA150 and 7d + 50mm MACRO
How I choose a ball head or you … good friction , weight and price
1. friction , we do not want our ball head fall lower down after we fix the composition … especially we shoot at portrait mode
WE DO NOT WHAT WE CAPTURED is not WHAT WE WANT 😀
2. weight, bigger ball head tend to have better friction but it weight
3. price, but do we got many good and cheap option ?
I own few head to put on my tripod and will slowly share those one by one … but today would like to share my main ball head which is FLM ball head which brought to you by Leephoto from German …..
I only have 2 of it which is CB-32FP & CB-38FT….
the P –> mean it come with the “Pan” nut/option and T —> come with both PAN and Tilt nut/option (view below video for more)
the ball head are solid, hold it and you feel the different.. even the price is bit high if use with the original quick release system .. but we do have option to use cheaper Manfrotto, fotopro quick release system to bring the cost down ….. and it still perform well…

5. LB30/60 Leveling Base
– this is a base to level the “ball head” so we can improve the panorama capture
– use when the tripod (or ground no flat or balance) so this leveling base can easily level the ball head base
#################################
few simple movie show how it work …
how to control tilt and Pan
– the pan is standard but tilt …. after you fix the composition and you want little up or down without affect your horizontal tilt ….i like this MOST ..
set the friction – Yes, we can control it
set the friction
loose friction or low number
tight friction or high number
– like this also .. i can just move my len without open/loose the ball head control …. even with heavy 70200 F2.8 len
