New Tripod Ball Head

I have never really been happy with the Gitzo Pan and Tilt Ball Head. It was very expensive back in the 80s and I've used that expense to justify lugging around a heavy, clunky hard to use tripod. The final straw was misplacing the screw required to attach the camera to the Tripod Head. I went online at Adorama and found what I hope will be the perfect solution. It's a lightweight Magnesium Tripod Ball Head with a Quick Release Plate. I will leave the plate on the camera. I even bought an extra plate for the Fuji so that both cameras will be tripod ready at all times. It looks as if it pans but there is no lever so I'm not sure it will be as handy as I'd hoped. We'll soon see.
