Anyone else got any ideas to help Crazee Horse find a one size fits all head that meets his needs? Some of you serious wildlife types must have an opinion.

I think the try out idea is the best option. I have a sturdy but budget ballhead, 3 way geared head and a 501 fluid head. Each has their uses, but within a reasonable budget I have yet to find a single head that could replace that lot that I would be happy and comfortable using. Leifs Markins M10 ballhead ticks the boxes but is not cheap.

Best compromise for the individual style of photography will play a large part in the decision.
