BUT: for my shots to create the HDR (bracketing for creating High Dynamic Range images) was my fumbling once a finer alignment should be done soon against.
Because if the cut does not fit, you have to loosen the head and then the Bilckwinkel marching somewhere again, and when the nut is tightened, it jerks a little uncontrollable. As one would have previously not been reasonably accurate set up, so an entirely new setting, and mostly again not entirely accurate.
The gearhead can to my complete satisfaction that now. Fits any fall of a house wall is not, a little bit drehn on the relevant wheel, and it fits, you moved in the right direction, in fine movements. And the position is fixed, without further manipulation.
For faster adjustments can see the gears by means of a larger wheel deal, but considerably more force has to be expended.
Should be up to 5kg for heavier combinations rich, the 5DMKII with 70-200 / 2.8 he grabs loose.
The only drawback: at the first lifting after head change can feel the additional weight compared to the spherical head.
For static subjects very appropriate because it enables precise alignments.
