B
urzynski Ball Heads. The Burzynski head is unique that it replaces the top plate of the Gitzo 1325 and 1548 (with an adapter). This way the head is tightly integrated with the tripod. The head has a very low profile (75mm). Unfortunately the Arca clamp is not integrated with the head. We don't feel any problems using a third party Arca clamp.
What are the main benefits?
Tripod integration
Low profile
Can carry very heavy cameras
Last not least: Locks in position without any change in your frame.
Most heads we used have a tendency to move the frame just so slightly when we lock the ball. This is not the case with the Burzynski head. We feel this a very important properly. Locking is also very smooth.
There are two downsides:
The Burzynski head can only be tilted +/- 45 degrees (not a problem for portrait shots as we use an L-Bracket anyway.
We only know one source in Germany Isarfoto. The price of the head is not cheap but in the normal range (332 Euro). Unfortunately the cost for mailing can be very expensive.
All foreign sales are handled via
Isarfoto.
