Just an opinion: Purchased a new Bogen (Manfrotto) PROBALL 308.
that's the Euro# 3413QR, for the B&H price (-$50) at a local shop.
I LOVE IT! This is the hard resin ball. Can't believe how smoothly it
works... both horizontal and vertical... even with the 200/4 Zuiko
and auto tubes on the OM-2n (body mounted). It's even rock-solid
with my big moose of a Sigma XQ 500/8 Cat. I supose the Gitzo, Kirk,
etc., are even nicer, but for the price, I'm delighted! It's a pleasure to use.
