I have a tiltall and I hate it. I liked the legs, kind of, but absolutely
hated the head. I could never secure the camera to the head adequately. It
would always work loose at the worst time. I much prefer the Bogen
interchangeable plates method. Since it is not designed to have
interchangeable heads, I had to hack it to install a decent Bogen ball head
with QR plate. I know, the Bogen QR system isn't as good as the others, but
the others cost much more than this poor sap of a federal employee can
afford.
