Hello
I am looking for a simple macro and landscape photography head. I have a 50D and a Canon 17-55 and a Sigma 90mm macro lens.
I am hoping to have a small form-factor ball head - any suggestions?
If the head has markings for stitched panaromas that will be helpful.
I have the manfrotto 055cxpro3 tripod.
One other question about this tripod, is there anyway I can reduce the centre column on this tripod - I know I can quickly make it horizontal but to begin with, if I had a shorter column - I could well live with it. For portrial shots, I could then move the camera to portriat by moving it on the ball head as most ball heads have a notch on the side to move it to that position.
PS: I also have the indian gimbal head but I cant see that working for macros/panaromas. Does anyone have any experience on the contrary?
Thanks
Manish
