Gitzo G1276m ballhead - user comments asap please

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Camera Equipment : One Thread

Can anyone give me a review of their Gitzo G1276m ballhead? I will be buying it sometime this week unless there is an absolute negative review. The Arca B1 is obviously the top choice but I'm looking into something in the range of $140-$250 and the G1276m seem like a good match for the Gitzo G1220 tripod. I heard that it was difficult to handle the camera with this design ballhead but I didn't find that this was the case at all...at least not in the camera store. Thank you for any help.

Thanks for the help anyways. I ended buying the new Bogen/Manfrotto 3435QR ballhead. Changed my mind right on the spot when I ran across one.
