WTB: high quality tripod / head

[jamesbjenkins]

Hey all, I'm in the market for a high quality tripod/ball head setup. I'm looking for an arca-Swiss compatible head and QR plate if possible.Some of the brands I've been considering are: high-end Manfrottos, Feisol, Kirk, etc. Realistically, I don't think I can afford a full RRS or Gitzo setup.I'll buy new if I need to, but I wanted to throw it out there if anyone has a setup they're wanting to sell. Let me know via reply or PM. Thanks!

Make offer if interested - I have this head, works GREAT but I'm thinking about getting something with smaller handle as I haul my tripod on a motorcycle seat.

Manfrotto 322RC2 GRIP ACTION BALL HEAD - MA322RC2

I paid $130 new for it plus shipping at BHPHOTO. It lives on my carbon manfrotto tripod.

Thanks for the reply! I'm not a huge fan of the joystick style ball heads. In my experience, they tend to drift a bit. Looking for a traditional style of ball head.On another note, how do you like your Manfrotto tripod? I've seen mixed reviews, especially about the legs spinning freely.

Kewl, honestly I like the tripod so much I spent a few extra bux and bought manfrotto for my latest lightstand purchase.
