Comments about Gitzo Gitzo 1178M Magnesium Quick Release Center Ball Head with Quick Release, Supports 8.8 lbs:

I bought this head with the Gitzo 1932 basalt tripod as part of a Gitzo promotion. I have been very pleased with the ease of use that this head provides. I need to take more pictures to determine the overall stability aspect, but the initial tests have been very good. I have a Rebel Xti and a Tamron 17-55 f2.8 and a Canon 70-200 f4 lenses and both these combinations feel solid on this head.

I have a Nikon N90s. This head was not sturdy enough for this size camera.
