Hello all, I've found the tripod legs I want, the "Slik Pro 700DX Tripod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head (Quick Release)". I've chosen this because of the price and the "HEIGHT"!!! Being 6'4" tall, I need something to match me!
My confusion is with the various heads, which I have listed below. I've read about grip heads, pan/tilt heads, ball heads...now I need to know the differences...
The above setup is only $129.00 at B&H, but should I consider getting another type of head. I have been using an inexpensive Vivitar VPT-360 tripod. I guess you might say it was a One-Way Pan/tilt (I think!!!!).
Which one do you think would be most useful for me. I do mostly landscapes, the grandkids and some kids sports. I don't "hike" with it so weight will be little problem. Any advise greatly appreciated!!
