Tried hard not to like it, but....
Coming from a lifetime of using a heavy lever-driven three-way pan/tilt head, I tried very hard not to like this ball head. It won me over the first time in the field. Very solidly built and excellent controls. My old Gitzo Rational 3 magnesium head weighed a ton. The GXP ball head from Acratech weighs less than a pound. Couple that with a 5 pound carbon fiber tripod, and the combo can't be beat. Using an L-bracket on my Fujifilm GFX 50R, the quick release lever locks solidly and positively into place, reducing the time to move from horizontal to vertical shots by a huge factor. I'm very pleased.
