#photography nerditry:

I've been playing with the Rogeti RG1 geared tripod head, and I'm liking it more than I expected to. Rogeti is a small specialized Chinese manufacturer; the tripod head is their flagship product. Compared with the Arca C1 Cube (my go-to), it's a bit smaller and lighter, but the thing that's really growing on me is the interchangeable modules for z-axis (panning) movements.

It's not cheap (about USD900), and there are a few annoying quirks, but I'm using it more and more.

@RecoveredExpert@mastodon.social Also, if you go for the Linhof (assuming you’re in the US), you save a TON by ordering it from abroad. Linhof and Studio outside London is a reliable retailer that I’ve dealt with, and has them for much less than any US dealer.

@mattblaze@federate.social Linhof Germany is just about 25 mi from where I live. With 19% import
Tax and possibly custom fees the RG-1 with shipping from China would be more expensive to me than the 3D Micro. Wish I could rent both and test them, but that impossible where I live.
