> Manfrotto 486rc2 ball head We have several, and they work nicely. Sometimes I wish I had one with a seperate pan function on the base.
When you put it onto your tripod, you might be interested in their anti-twist version of the RC2 quick release plate. This anti-twist version seems to have been available only in the last few years, and it adapts to any camera with a flat edge along the lower bottom where the plate holds on.
