Grip action ball head vs. ball head I am debating between buying the Bogen / Manfrotto 322RC2 Grip Action Ballhead and the Bogen / Manfrotto 488RC2 Midi Ball Head. Both are ball heads, and both have a quick release plate. Their cost is comparable. My question is: What are the advantages or disadvantages of a grip action? Many thanks. Anita

The Grip Action Works Great!If You Plan To Use Heavy Cameras And Telephoto Lens That Would Be A Problem For The Pistol-grip Type As It Just Cant Support The Weight Anita... Most Use Ball-heads That Will Support Their Existing Equipment With Room To Expand To Heavier Equipment At A Latter Time...

Thanks Terry. So, the grip action is handy, but cannot support as much weight as the ball-heads.

It Works Well To About 5 Lbs Anita, After That It Starts Getting A Bit Shaky And Your Keeper Rate Goes Down "Because Of Camera Shake" I Have Had About 7 Lbs On It And It Was Noticeably Overloaded, But I Still Like It For Lesser Weights.. But I Like My RRS Ballhead Much Better:-) http://reallyrightstuff.com/
