D70+Sigma 150 = 1.7Kg
Zeiss 85TL = 1.9Kg
and
D50+ Tamron200 - 500 = 2.03Kg
Is the 488RC2 therefore a case of overkill?
Thanks for all the help and information

Hi Stuart R
I thought it was asking a bit much to find a Sidecick fitting for the Manfrotto head!
With regards to the 488RC2 being to much, I have to say no, if it wasn't for the price I would have an Arca ball and socket, for the price the 488RC2 is a good alternative. It has smooth friction lock controls with separate panning and is rock solid, it does not sag. I've fiddled about with lesser ball and sockets and generally been disappointed, with this head it's there first time.
