One of my new favorite websites is The Online Photographer, with great posts by Mike Johnston. Over the past couple of days he has posted a great little series on tripod heads, ranging from honking big and expensive to affordable and light enough to carry on the trail. Rather than linking to each individual post, I’ll suggest that you use the link above to go straight to his site – if the storys have dropped of the bottom of the home page look for his posts on January 5, 6, and 7, 2006. By the way, I use the excellent Acratech Ultimate Ballhead.
