    +1 for the 055Pro (metal, but CF would be nice too)
    I upgraded to this from a 190 and the extra height made all the difference.

    Indeed, the extra height does make a substantial difference.

    I love those Manfrotto RC heads.
    I have 2 of them!
    The smaller one for work (the RC324,where I'm usually using smaller lenses) and the bigger one for home (the 327RC2 where I use it for my 100-400).
    I've got a few other "pistol grip" ball heads, but the Manfrotto ones are just so good all the others are now in statis.

    I also have them set up for left hand use as this seems to make more sense to me in that you can hold the head grip with the left hand, and the shutter button on the right.
    However, the larger head is the better one if you want a left handed head, as you can invert the grip itself so you can choose to have the "trigger" in front and the tension wheel on the top of the head, or underneath as it has another set of screw holes on the reverse side whereas the 324 does not.
    All my photos are taken with recycled pixels.
    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom, is knowing not to serve it in a fruit salad.
