Hey gang, I'm considering updating my camera support system. I'll be using this new support system with various cameras and formats including a Rolleiflex 3.5F v5. I've decided on a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod for the base. And I've narrowed the ballhead field to a couple of options that both use an Arca Swiss style quick-release (QR) camera attachment system. I already own a Rolleifix, and it's a great thing, but I don't want to afix the Rolleifix permanently to the new ballhead as I would then be left with a dedicated TLR ballhead... and I can't afford that luxury. I suppose I could use the Rollefix with screw tightening only, but I don't wan't to run the risk of it coming loose and dumping my camera. So... I'm considering a modern quick-release plate system that offers greater security and flexibility with a variety of cameras and formats. In particular, I'm considering purchase of a "Markins" M10 ballhead, and possibly a "Really Right Stuff" quick-release (QR) clamp and plate system. Or I may go with the "Markins" QR clamp and plate. I'm currently pursuing research on both QR options. Has anyone already been down this path? Any words of wisdom or comments are greatly appreciated.
