Recently upgraded to a gitzo cf with manfrotto junior geared head. Absolutely great and i think my tripod work has improved with this combo by slowing me down and getting the image exactly as i'm after and a really solid set of legs- no more blaming the gear- its the fool behind the gear thats at fault from now on [emoji3]
I have an issue though in that when trying to tilt up the head it often gets restricted by the diameter of the gitzo head and i have to try to shorten rear legs to address
Does anyone know if there's a packer i can get to raise the head off the tripod mount? I've looked at gitzo site but cant see it as an accessory
Moving up to a more expensive geared head might solve the issue but that would appear to involve considerable addnl investment
I might ask a local engineering company to make me something up but forum request for assistance first
