THREE-WAY HEADS
1 Calumet 7064 Heavy-Duty 3-Way Quick-Release Head £79/$60
WHILE many manufacturers are producing clever, compact three-way heads, the 7064 is an old-school monster, which at 18.4cm is twice the height of the Gitzo head. Everything from the locking handles to the well positioned bubble levels is oversized.
Aside from the travel drawbacks, these things help make this head exceptionally robust and a pleasure to use. There’s no dedicated friction adjustment (present on the Manfrotto X-Pro), but the smoothness of the 7064’s joints means you can easily modulate friction
