#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.

Anyway, all this should help explain why I'm somewhat obsessed with optimizing my tripod and tripod head setup. It's what I'm interacting with most closely when I'm actually making a photo, even more than the camera and lenses, and it's the stuff for which errors are often very hard to correct after you've made the exposure.

It's also why I'm impossibly slow and annoying to be around when I'm making pictures.
