Mark you might check with Kirk - http://www.kirkphoto.com/ - for an adaptor
for an arca swiss receiver on Bogen heads. A while back I wanted a specific
Bogen head but also wanted to use the arca swiss system. They sold me an
adaptor that fit the Bogen receiver but also could be attached to an arca
swiss receiver allowing me to use the arca swiss plate.

Subject: Ball Head Question
I'm looking to replace my old Bogen Manfrotto Grip Action ball head
(3265). The ideal would be a ball head with a load capacity of at least 13
lb (the max that the legs it will be mounted on), panning base, lever
based lock for the ball head (I find knobs to be too fiddly, especially
wen wearing gloves), arca swiss plate system and reasonably light weight.
It seems that wanting a lever vs knob knocks out a lot of heads. Manfrotto
has a lot of lever models but they do not use arca swiss plates. Really
Right Stuff has a few but they are 2x-3x the cost of other brands. There
is an inexpensive "Vanguard" brand that meets all of my requirements, but
its a brand I never heard of and is very inexpensive, so I have doubts....
Any thoughts?
Mark
