So I've pretty well decided on the 190XPROB legs I think, but I'm mystified by how many heads there are that all seem so similar.
I started looking at the 484RC2 package at B&H, but then read that it doesn't have good panning ability at all, which is important to me. The review said the 486RC2 had a separate locking lever JUST for horizontal panning, but after reading info on the 486 it doesn't seem so... so I'm now moving up to the 488 models and possibly the 322 horizontal grip model...
Could someone with more knowledge of these heads shed some light on this? I am very much into landscape and would like having versatility in camera positioning... but having one knob to move in all directions doesn't fit for me.
What are your guys' views and recommendations? I'm not completely stuck on Manfrotto either, but it seems like a well respected and quality brand.
